Mumbaikers, get ready to take your taste buds on a delicious trip to the lush hills of the Northeast without even leaving your home. A brand new cloud kitchen, Akhoi, is bringing the rich and soulful flavours of Manipur straight to your doorstep. It is a deeply personal project by Lin Laishram, a Mumbai-based actress, who turned her longing for home-cooked meals into something truly special.
Akhoi Cloud Kitchen Brings Manipuri Flavours To Mumbai
After spending nearly two decades in Mumbai, Lin Laishram found herself craving the food she grew up eating in Manipur. She was yearning for flavours that reminded her of her roots. And what started as cooking for herself and friends soon became a full-blown mission. She was dedicated to bringing authentic Manipuri cuisine to Mumbai, a city that’s always looking for something new and exciting. And then, Akhoi was born. It is not just a kitchen but a celebration of Manipur’s heritage and flavour.
Akhoi is a cloud kitchen that is bringing Manipur’s regional recipes to Mumbai. Made with carefully sourced ingredients from both Mumbai and Manipur, every dish offers a chance to take a nostalgic journey. The talented team of chefs reimagines the traditional recipes with a modern flair, offering the best creations to Mumbaikars.

A Hearty Menu Filled With Wholesome Dishes
Whether you are a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, the extensive menu at Akhoi has something that will excite everyone. From the crispy Aloo Chop to the hearty Chicken Soibum Curry, every dish highlights the freshest ingredients. Akhoi offers a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes like Pajeon bites (mini Korean scallion pancakes), Chak Hao Bao buns (soft-steamed Chinese bao buns filled with Manipuri black rice, sautéed mushrooms and sesame), Maroi Kanghou Edamame (steamed edamame stir-fried with Manipuri garlic chives and sesame seeds), Bhoot Jholokia Glazed Wings, Chicken Kanghuo, and more.
Whether you are looking for something comforting, Akhoi has you covered. The Aloo Kangmet and Pakora Thongba will give you a taste of family dinners in Manipur. And for those who like variety, Akhoi also offers thali options. You can choose between fish, chicken, or pork thali for a complete, satisfying meal. Since no meal is complete without dessert, Akhoi Kitchen’s Chak Hao Kheer, a black rice pudding, is the perfect way to end your dining experience.
Akhoi Kitchen operates as a cloud kitchen, and you can enjoy these delicious Manipuri flavours from the comfort of your home. So Mumbaikers, what are you waiting for?
