In an era where dining has evolved beyond the plate, Bollywood Treats emerges as a refined cultural destination — one that blends cinematic storytelling, elevated vegetarian cuisine, and the intimate warmth of a family-led vision. Located in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi, the restaurant offers a sophisticated yet soulful interpretation of Indian dining, where flavour, design, and emotion converge in effortless harmony.
Founded by Anil Kejriwal and his family, Bollywood Treats is a celebration of heritage reimagined through a contemporary lens. From its luminous interiors inspired by the grandeur of Indian cinema to its meticulously crafted menu, the restaurant delivers an experience that feels both indulgent and deeply familiar — a rare balance that has earned it acclaim among discerning diners across the UAE.
A Vision Defined by Purpose and Refinement. The inception of Bollywood Treats marks a pivotal chapter in Anil Kejriwal’s journey. A chartered accountant with over three decades of corporate leadership, including 14 years with the Jindal Group, Anil chose to translate a lifelong passion for Indian culture into a venture grounded in authenticity and artistry.
“This was never about opening a restaurant,” he reflects. “It was about creating a space that mirrors our values as a family — thoughtful, creative, and rooted in Indian tradition.”
What followed was a carefully orchestrated collaboration, shaped by the complementary strengths of his wife Madhu and daughter Khushi, each contributing to the restaurant’s identity with clarity and purpose.
Designing an Atmosphere of Cinematic Elegance
The visual narrative of Bollywood Treats is a defining feature of its appeal. Conceptualised and designed by Khushi Kejriwal, who is currently pursuing her MBA at Symbiosis Dubai, the interiors present a contemporary homage to Indian cinema’s golden legacy. Rich colour palettes, artistic wall compositions, curated film references, and dramatic lighting combine to create an atmosphere that is immersive yet understated. Rather than excess, the design embraces refinement — allowing guests to feel enveloped by storytelling without distraction. Each detail reflects intentionality, transforming the space into an elegant tribute to Bollywood’s timeless influence.
Culinary Precision with a Personal Touch
At the heart of the kitchen is Madhu Kejriwal, whose oversight ensures that every dish reflects consistency, quality, and warmth. Her approach marries traditional Indian culinary techniques with a nuanced understanding of modern palates, resulting in flavours that are bold yet balanced.
Bollywood Treats is dedicated to 100% pure vegetarian cuisine, prepared from scratch using premium ingredients and freshly ground spices. The menu draws inspiration from both North and South India, offering a diverse yet cohesive culinary journey — from refined street-food interpretations and aromatic biryanis to tandoori specialities and thoughtfully composed thalis.
The restaurant’s commitment to excellence is reinforced by its ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP certifications, underscoring adherence to international standards of quality, safety, and operational discipline — a distinction rarely achieved by family-run establishments.
A Menu That Reflects Indian Sophistication. Designed to appeal to a global audience while remaining authentic at its core, the menu presents classic dishes such as Paneer Butter Masala, Chole Bhature, and Masala Dosa, alongside contemporary interpretations like Tandoori Momos and Pav Bhaji Fondue. Jain-friendly and wellness-conscious options further enhance the restaurant’s inclusive ethos.
Completing the experience is ‘Mithaas’, the restaurant’s in-house confectionery label. Offering artisanal Indian sweets and bespoke festive hampers, Mithaas has become a signature extension of the brand — particularly during celebrations such as Diwali, when indulgence meets tradition in its most elegant form.
“Luxury, to us, is sincerity,” Madhu notes. “Every dish carries the same care and intention we would offer in our own home.”
An Award-Winning Culinary Concept
In 2025, Bollywood Treats received the Filmfare Middle East Award for Best Themed Restaurant, cementing its position as one of the region’s most distinctive dining experiences. The recognition celebrates the restaurant’s ability to seamlessly blend cinematic aesthetics with culinary artistry — offering guests an experience that is both emotive and refined.
“This honour belongs to our entire family,” Anil shares. “It validates our belief that passion, when guided by integrity, creates something truly meaningful.”
Where Culture Becomes an Experience Bollywood Treats transcends conventional dining by embracing storytelling as its foundation. Subtle musical selections, visual cues inspired by iconic films, and a thoughtfully curated ambience work together to evoke nostalgia without excess. The result is a setting that feels celebratory, intimate, and distinctly Indian — appealing to both seasoned connoisseurs and modern tastemakers.
“Cinema and cuisine share a universal language,” Anil explains. “They create emotion, connection, and memory. Bringing them together was instinctive.”
A Brand Rooted in Community and Grace
Beyond its interiors and menu, Bollywood Treats has evolved into a cultural touchpoint within Abu Dhabi. From elegant festival celebrations to curated cultural evenings, the restaurant continues to foster connection and community, extending its philosophy beyond the dining table.
Guided by the ethos ‘Serving with Love and Passion’, Bollywood Treats stands as a refined expression of Indian vegetarian luxury — where family values, artistic vision, and culinary excellence converge to create an experience that is as memorable as it is meaningful.
