The Story

The Chef. The Vision.

Good food built it. Community keeps it going.

The Kali Bachi chef
At the smoker, Apopka, FL

Who he is

Meet Chef Marcus.

Kali Bachi started with a simple idea: food tastes better when it brings people together.

Kali Bachi is where BBQ soul food meets hibachi vibes. Smoked meats with real bark, flat-top heat cooked right in front of you, and soul food sides that taste like home.

After putting in the work, perfecting the food, and building a vision that means so much to him, Kali Bachi officially kicked off with a block-party soft opening on Bay Street in Apopka on October 3, 2026. The food sold out.

"This is something I've been dreaming about, working toward, and putting my heart into. And now, I'm ready to share it with all of you."
