Abokado: Mumbai’s First Micro-Dining Japanese Café with a Fresh, Organic Twist in Bandra

Nestled in Bandra’s bustling lanes, Abokado, Mumbai’s first micro-dining café by celebrated Chef Mitesh Rangras, offers an intimate 12-seat dining experience that blends Japanese aesthetics with local flavors. Known for his culinary brilliance at Juhu’s Tango Tamari, Chef Mitesh now introduces Abokado (meaning “avocado” in Japanese), a venue inspired by the versatile avocado and traditional Japanese flavors.

A Glimpse into the Abokado Experience

Designed as a cozy 12-seater, Abokado’s atmosphere transports guests to a calm Tokyo street café. The tranquil, minimalist interiors—crafted by designer Shama Shah—are brought to life with natural wood elements, serene green hues, and paper lanterns that cast a warm glow, creating a serene escape from the energetic Bandra streets.

A Menu Crafted for Sharing

Abokado’s menu is an artful mix of small plates, sushi, rice bowls, and unique desserts, with highlights including:

  • Small Plates: From the vegetarian Abokado Hummus with chili crunch and dragon fruit to the seafood-forward Hamachi Aguachile and Tuna Tartare, each dish is crafted with a blend of bold flavors and delicate textures.
  • Rice Bowls: Diners can indulge in signature bowls like Miso Mushroom Chili or Katsu Chili Chicken, each layered with robust, comforting flavors.
  • Desserts: Unique offerings like the Bruleed Liquid Cheesecake and Mango Yuzu Mousse Cake bring an innovative twist to classic treats.
  • Drinks: An extensive selection of organic coffees, Japanese teas, and adventurous drinks like the Wasabi Ice Cream offers a refreshing end to the meal.

A Vision of Micro-Dining in Bandra

Abokado’s “micro-dining” concept focuses on small, intimate experiences. “In Abokado, we’ve created more than just a dining space. It’s a culinary sanctuary where the concept of micro-dining comes to life,” says co-founder Varun Kapoor. The restaurant combines Chef Mitesh’s dedication to locally sourced, organic ingredients with an ambiance that celebrates quiet, personal dining moments.
