Some food stories begin in grand kitchens. Kailash Parbat’s story began on the streets—with a humble chaat stall, treasured family recipes, and a dream to bring people together over honest, comforting vegetarian food.

The iconic vegetarian restaurant brand, which traces its origins to the 1940s is now expanding its Dubai footprint with the opening of its newest outlet at Mall of the Emirates. The brand already operates successful locations at BurJuman Al Seef, Oud Metha & Abu Dhabi. 

Bhau Parsram Mulchandani established Kailash Parbat in Colaba, Mumbai in India in 1952. What started as a modest eatery soon became one of Mumbai’s most celebrated vegetarian dining destinations. For over seven decades, generations of Mumbaikars, Bollywood personalities, business leaders, tourists and loyal patrons have made Kailash Parbat a part of their family traditions, returning time and again for its iconic chaats, Sindhi specialities and authentic vegetarian cuisine.
Today, that same legacy continues far beyond Colaba. Under the leadership of Yash Mulchandani & Harry Mulchandani who joined the family business at a very young age.  Kailash Parbat has evolved into a global vegetarian restaurant brand. The  Mulchandani brothers has spearheaded the brand’s international expansion across the GCC, including the UAE, Oman and Bahrain, as well as Southeast Asia in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

The new Mall of the Emirates outlet, now open,  isthe only pure vegetarian restaurant in the mall’s food court, bringing Kailash Parbat’s extensive menu of Indian vegetarian favourites to thousands of visitors every day—from its legendary chaats and Sindhi specialities to North Indian classics, street food favourites, mithai and more.

For Dubai-based restaurateur Yash Mulchandani, bringing Kailash Parbat to the UAE was never just about expansion; it was about bringing a piece of his family’s legacy to a city that celebrates global cuisines while embracing authentic traditions.

“When we brought Kailash Parbat to Dubai, our vision was simple—to create a place where people could experience the same warmth, nostalgia and flavours that families have grown up with for decades. Dubai has always embraced Indian cuisine, and we wanted to create a space that feels familiar, whether you’re visiting us for a quick chaat, a family meal or simply craving the flavours of home.”

The story of Kailash Parbat is one of resilience, family and generations. From a humble street-side chaat stall to an institution in Colaba and now a globally recognised vegetarian dining brand, the family’s journey has been shaped by perseverance, tradition and an unwavering commitment to quality. Today, different members of the Mulchandani family continue to oversee operations across various international markets including the USA and Europe, ensuring that while the footprint grows, the values and recipes remain unchanged.

From its celebrated pani puri and chaat platters to Sindhi favourites like dal pakwan and comforting classics such as chole bhature, Kailash Parbat’s menu showcases the richness and diversity of India’s vegetarian culinary heritage.

The opening at Mall of the Emirates marks another milestone in Kailash Parbat’s Dubai journey, building on the success of its existing outlets while strengthening its presence in one of the world’s most vibrant and multicultural dining destinations.

Because while trends may come and go, some flavours remain timeless—especially those built on family, memories and recipes passed down through generations.

Known for its signature biga pre-ferment dough, crafted using the brand’s secret recipe, premium Italian ingredients and bold flavour combinations, Naughty Pizza has built a loyal following with standout creations. These include the Tartufino, featuring a truffle cream base, mixed mushrooms, stracciatella cheese and fresh truffle shavings; the hearty Don Brisket, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella fior di latte Agerola, 24-hour slow-cooked beef brisket, semi-dried red tomatoes, parmesan cream and fried rosemary; and the signature Naughty Pizza, made with a pecorino cheese cream base, fior di latte, crispy chicken tenders, fresh chili, basil, and spicy buffalo sauce. Guests can also enjoy a selection of handcrafted classics and seasonal specials that celebrate authentic Italian flavours with the brand’s distinctive twist.

The opening of the Naughty Pizza food truck at Alserkal Avenue marks another milestone for founder Bart Misztal, who launched Naughty Pizza in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic, growing the brand when much of the hospitality industry faced unprecedented challenges. Building on that success, he brought the concept to Dubai in 2023, followed by a second location at Dubai Festival City. 

The Alserkal Avenue opening marks the brand’s third UAE location and represents a significant achievement, as Alserkal Avenue is widely recognised as one of Dubai’s most sought-after lifestyle and cultural destinations. Home to leading galleries, design studios and independent concepts, Alserkal Avenue carefully curates its tenant community, making the opportunity to open within the district a strong endorsement of Naughty Pizza’s growing reputation.

The expansion comes at a time when many independent restaurants are navigating softer consumer spending amid regional uncertainty and the annual summer slowdown. Rather than slowing its momentum, Naughty Pizza has continued to invest in growth while introducing creative collaborations and community-driven initiatives that keep guests engaged. Recent partnerships, including a collaboration with CAIA, brought together two homegrown brands through a limited-edition menu that generated strong interest during a traditionally quieter trading period.

Naughty Pizza officially opens at Alserkal Avenue on July 15, welcoming guests to experience its Italian-inspired menu in one of Dubai’s leading destinations for art, culture and creativity. To celebrate the opening, Alserkal Avenue visitors can enjoy 20 per cent off their orders during the first week of operations, offering the perfect opportunity to discover the brand’s signature pizzas at its newest location.
