about us

For over two millennia, the Malabar region of India has been a meeting point of cultures, shaping its rich and diverse cuisine. Inspired by this heritage, Mannil Rayaroth Abdulla founded MRA Bakery in 1965, blending traditional Malabar flavors with Western-style bread and cakes.

What began as a humble bakery soon grew into a trusted brand, thanks to Abdulla Saheb’s dedication to quality. His eldest son, Mannil Muhammed, carried forward the bakery business, and later, his younger sons Ayyub, Abdul Nisar, and Abdul Gadhafi joined after their graduation. Under their leadership, MRA expanded across Kerala’s Malabar region, preserving its tradition while embracing innovation.

With the next generation leading the way, MRA expanded internationally, opening 9 outlets in Qatar (Since 2012), 2 in Oman (Since 2023), 1 in Saudi Arabia (Since 2024), and 1 in Bahrain (Since 2025). Today, MRA is not just about Malabar cuisine—it serves a diverse range of flavors, including Arabic, North Indian, South Indian, Chinese, and Turkish cuisines. In the bakery section, we offer freshly baked breads, biscuits, French cakes, and authentic Kerala snacks & namkeens.

From a single bakery in Kerala to a global brand, MRA Bakery & Restaurant continues its Tradition of Excellence, bringing the finest flavors to food lovers worldwide.
