We believe in the power of storytelling, of giving our customers more than just a taste of a Dosa or Kebab- we want to transport you to India, show you the vibrancy of a culture that shaped our childhoods and ancestries. We do it in small ways, the way we design our spaces or create our menus, but we go even further.
Our mission is to provide authentic, made-from-scratch Indian food using fresh ingredients and exotic flavors that will educate and excite the palate while surprising each guest with high quality, personal service steeped in a culture of warmth and hospitality.In addition, we strive to give back to the community via culinary training, strengthen the local economy via career opportunities, and develop strong ties with area businesses to support local entrepreneurship.
As a young girl of six, I used to watch my mom, with some help from Kanthama, our kitchen help, cook for our large extended family, every single day. Every day was a weekend kind of day, started out with an early trip to the local open air market around 8 am, much like today's farmers market where Kanthama would purchase fresh vegetables, meats or seafood for whatever they were planning to cook that day.
