History

Kobe Sizzlers was founded by Vazir Rizvi and Ramesh Seth in 1975^[4] in Mumbai, and is currently the oldest sizzler restaurant in the world.^[5]^[6] They have decades of experience in the fast-food industry.^[7]

The legacy of the restaurant dates back to the 1970s when, in 1963, Firoz Irani and his wife started a food joint named ‘The Sizzler’ near Excelsior Cinema. After Irani's death in 1967, his son Shahrookh Irani opened a sizzler restaurant called ‘Touche’ at Breach Candy, but in 1971, he shifted to Pune. With the closure of Touche in Bombay, Vazir Rizvi, a close friend of Firoz Irani, who also used to manage the business at Touche, joined hands with Ramesh Sheth in 1975 to start ‘Kobe Sizzlers’.^[8] Its first restaurant started with a 600 square feet restaurant located at Huges Road, near India’s oldest surviving Opera House.^[9]

The outlet has also been visited by Rajiv Gandhi.^[10]

In December 2017, the restaurant announced it would open its outlet in the US, which was expected to be functional by April 2018.^[11]^[12]

Since its establishment, the restaurant has served over 5 million quality sizzlers and has become one of its kind with its innovative sizzler dishes.^[13]^[14]

In August 2019, Kobe Sizzlers invested $70,000 in Freeze-Dry technology (lyophilisation), the technology used by NASA to preserve food for astronauts, to produce ready-to-make sauce from its secret recipe.^[15]

Recognition

In 1983, the restaurant received international acclaim by winning the International Gastronomic Award (“Europe 83”) by El Bar.^[16]^[17]
