A Monginis cake shop in Mumbai

History
Early in the 20th century, two Italian
brothers ran a catering service in Mumbai's
Fort precinct, which was 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 the franchise model of
business, with a stated emphasis on
localized production for local tastes. It
also models itself on the "food boutique"
concept, focusing on quality, presentation
and service. It has thereby expanded its
brand and reach across the country with a
total worth of about 950 million rupees by
2012.[3]
Products
Monginis sells ready-made as well as
order-made cakes for catering or carry-
out. Individual cake slices are also kept in
Monginis stores for dine-in customers. The
chain sells both Indian and Western
savouries, including samosas, puffs,
cutlets and doughnuts. Apart from these,
snack foods and breads are also sold at
Monginis shops. Monginis has a product
line for diabetics, and offers themed
products during festivals. The Egyptian
brand has called itself Monginis bakery
producing chocolates, cakes, pastries and
oriental sweets. Fast food snacks include
more than 50 items.[4] Monginis also
produce more than 30 different gateaux.
