A Monginis cake shop in Mumbai

Monginis is an Indian multinational pastry and bakery chain based in Mumbai with outlets in India and Egypt.

History

Early in the 20th century, two Italian brothers ran a catering service in Mumbai's Fort precinct, which became popular with the city's European residents. In 1958, Monginis catering was taken over by the Khorakiwala family and became Monginis Foods Private Limited. ^[2] In 1971, the company adopted a franchise model of business, focusing on localized production to cater to regional preferences. It operates under a "food boutique" format that emphasizes product presentation and in-store service. By 2012, the company reported an estimated valuation of approximately 950 million rupees.

Products

Monginis sells ready-made as well as order-made cakes for catering or carry-out. Individual cake slices are also available in stores for dine-in customers. The chain sells both Indian and Western savouries, including samosas, puffs, cutlets and doughnuts. In addition, snack foods and breads are sold at Monginis stores. The company offers a product line for diabetics and releases themed products during festivals. In Egypt, the brand operates as Monginis Bakery and produces chocolates, cakes, pastries and oriental sweets.
