Parsi da Dhaba – Back in business

Back in 2009, Urvaksh and Amy Hoyvoy had set up Parsi da Dhaba, a restaurant on the Mumbai-Gujarat highway out of the desire to share the joy of authentic, home-cooked Parsi food that they grew up eating. “We love food and are passionate about it. Being on the highway, and the fact that we felt that in every Parsi, there’s a little bit of a Sardar, we had called it Parsi da Dhaba,” recalled Hoyvoy about the restaurant that shuttered a few years ago. To revive their legacy, his sons, Armaan and Azamaan, have now started a delivery kitchen by the same name in Lower Parel. “There was a deep desire to restart again on some level, so we found some good cooks in Mumbai. It’s a joint labour of love,” he added.
