Bademiya is an iconic food stall and restaurant chain in Mumbai, India. It was established in 1946 by Mohammad Yaseen as makeshift seekh kabab counter. The counter has now branched out into several restaurants, takeaway joint and a permanent food stall at the original location. The restaurant is a popular landmark and touristic attraction of Mumbai.[1]

History

[edit]

Mohammad Yaseen (a.k.a. Bade Miya after starting the counter) was born in a small village in Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh. Yaseen moved to Mumbai at the age of 13 and became a butcher. He also started supplying meat to hotels. In 1946 Fida Mohammed Adam Chisti, who was the religious Guru of Yaseen, gave him 20 (equivalent to 2,100 or US$25.30 in 2023) seed money to start the counter. Yaseen started the food counter at Apollo Bundar near Mumbai naval port as late-night snack option for naval officers living nearby. A Fine dining restaurant was later started at Horniman Circle.[1][2] Bademiya is said to have popularized Seekh kabab in Mumbai.[3] The food stall measures 10 X 4 feet and is situated behind The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Apollo Bundar, Mumbai. Bademiya had two sit-down restaurants in Apollo Bundar and at Horniman Circle.[4]
