Our Story

We make delicious and nutritious meals informed from our Indian heritage and Brooklyn roots, with the philosophy of “let thy food be thy medicine.” We roast and grind Ayurvedic spices that restore and energize the body, while making your tastebuds explode with flavor bombs.

Founded at the Smorgasburg food festival in Brooklyn in 2012, we opened our first brick and mortar shop in Manhattan in 2014 and are proud to be called ” Best Sandwich“, “ Best Bowl“, “Best Indian“and of course, “Best Chai“. We’ve been featured on The Cooking Chanel, Food Network and CBS, and have even fed global tastemakers like Bono, Julianne Moore, Fred Armisen, Anne Hathaway and Yoko Ono.

Our Philosophy

It’s simple – start with fresh, whole and natural foods, then chop, mix and prepare gently. All of our food is made from scratch using just fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and select Ayurvedic herbs and spices. That’s it!

We get our flavor from grinding whole spices in small batches. Those spices, by the way, are known to have significant health benefits, from aiding in digestion to reducing inflammation. All good stuff that when combined together adds up to a healthy, feel good meal that satisfies and energizes without slowing you down.
