History

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$26.50 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]
