Our Story

A Journey of Taste & Tradition

Launch night, Church Street, Bengaluru

Every bite tells a story of bustling Indian streets, laughter over plates of chaat, and the tang that brings people together.

Born on the Street

Born from a love of authentic Indian flavours, we reimagined the magic of the nukkads, the gallis and the local mithai shops, where food is more than a meal. It’s a mood.

From Pizza Hut Dishwasher to Founder

Founder Shiju Pappen went from earning ₹5,000 a month washing dishes at Pizza Hut to building a 100+ outlet vegetarian street-food franchise.

From One Cart to a Hundred

What began in 2020 as a single vegetarian cart is now 100+ outlets across Gurugram, Meerut, Bengaluru, Chennai, Madurai, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Mysore, with South India and the Gulf next.
