## About Catering & Special Events

### What We Bring to Your Celebration

I want your event to feel like home, just with a Naga twist. When you walk in, you’ll notice the vibe - it’s not fancy, but it’s warm, like a living room in Nagaland. Whether you’re planning a birthday, anniversary, or even a corporate lunch, I make sure the food and space feel personal. Decorations? I keep it simple, nothing over the top, but enough to make it yours.

### How We Celebrate Together

- Private parties at our place, with a cozy setup and home-style food  
- Pop-ups and off-site events, where I bring Naga tribal cuisine catering to new spots  
- Special festival feasts, like Tuluni or Christmas, with curated menus and a full-on cultural event food experience

### The Food: Honest & Bold

My cooking is straight from the heart. I use recipes from my grandmothers, with minimal oil and spices. Most ingredients come straight from Nagaland, so the taste is as real as it gets.  
- Smoked pork, cooked the traditional way  
- Axone (fermented soybean paste), strong and savoury  
- Anishi (black curry base), earthy and deep  
- Bamboo shoot, for that sour kick  
- Raja Mircha, the king chilli - warning, it’s spicy!

### Drinks: Pure Naga Style

I serve homemade fermented rice drinks like Zutho and Thutse. They’re not for everyone, but if you’re up for something different, they’re refreshing and full of tradition.

If you want a celebration that’s more about soul than show, I’m here for it.

## Meet your expert

### My story

Hey, Aren & Juliet here - we’re childhood buddies from Dimapur, Nagaland. Back in 2020, lockdown hit, jobs gone, we said, chalo (let’s go) – let’s cook up some Naga flavours for Mumbai! Started Naga Belly in our Andheri kitchen, grew thanks to your crazy support. That first tiny outlet? Mad memories, cramped but full of laughs. Now we’ve got a bigger spot, same building, same warmth. Honestly, wouldn’t be here without you all. Thanks for riding with us.

### My work

- **Authentic Naga Food & Drinks**: We serve traditional Naga dishes for dine-in, takeaway, and catering. Smoked pork Nagaland and fermented rice drink Mumbai are crowd favorites.
- **Ingredients Straight from Nagaland**: Our chillies, herbs, bamboo shoots come direct from Nagaland farmers’ markets. No shortcuts, just honest flavours.
- **Old-School Cooking**: We smoke pork over firewood, cook curries oil-free. Heritage style, like grandma used to do.
- **Signature Dishes & Spicy Specials**: Smoked pork, Pork Bhujia, and Raja Mircha curry. If you love heat, try the ghost pepper!
- **Non-Pork Options**: We’ve got prawn & mushroom curry, oil-free chicken with bamboo shoot, simple and tasty for everyone.
- **Culture Beyond Food**: We celebrate Naga festivals, serve drinks in Longpi pottery, and support local artisans.
