Our family owns a restaurant by the name of ‘SAYABA’ in Kolhapur. For the last 10 years my family has been running this restaurant. Earlier it was our secondary source of income but now it has become primary due my Dad’s interest in food industry and Mom’s effective management. Its specialty is sea food, Malvani style of cooking. But a restaurant in Kolhapur is incomplete without Mutton specialty dishes.
The idea came up since my Dad (who is a great cook, better than my Mom) had interest in starting up a restaurant. We had a place next to our home lying vacant and Mom took responsibility of managing the show with me & my sister chipping in as and when required. We have maintained quality & taste of the food for so many years that we have customers telling us the same. We have built friendships, relationships with most of our customers and they are like family friends and we cater to most of them according to their tastes. My parents are fondly called as ‘Kaka’ & ‘Kaki’ by everyone who regularly visits the restaurant and love the food & service provided by us.
My parents have always believed that serving food with Love & affection is the most important thing in this business and people should leave the restaurant with satisfaction of having the best food & service.
Nowadays, whenever I take a leave & go home for vacation, some or the other staff goes on leave. So then I become an hotelier, taking orders, serving dishes, managing billing & collections or arranging the dishes. I am not allowed in the kitchen since I don’t know anything about cooking ;)
Most of my friends had been to Sayaba and with this blog, I want to extend my invitation to everyone to come to Kolhapur and enjoy the delicacies in our restaurant. Don’t worry people, the bill is on me :) . Veggies have very little choice for food cause Sayaba is Non-Veg specialty restaurant but don’t worry I will manage something for you too.

well...i can vouch on what sandy writes here...all what he has said is absolutely true.Given the fact that the Restaurant serves absolute marvelous dishes in terms of Quality and taste, the person who serves it serves with amazing love, and i think thats what makes people come over and over. But not to forget the tremedous effort which goes in managing such an entity is truly an overwhelming experience.
Dude...thers a friend of mine who is starting some excursions for European tourists to Kolhapur, i have given u'r dads contact, he needs a outlet for the tourists to have a bite during thier brief stay. Tell dad to help him out if he calls.
Friends
