Our smoked pork is sourced pre-smoked over firewood in Nagaland before it reaches our Andheri kitchen, giving it a depth of flavour that you simply cannot replicate with regular roasting. We pair this with locally sourced bamboo shoot or Anishi to maintain that authentic, honest profile. Our kitchen isn't just about cooking; it's about preserving a way of life. When you dine with us in Andheri or book us for an event, you are tasting ingredients that made a long journey from the farmers' markets of Nagaland directly to your plate. We take pride in the bold, uncompromised flavours of our home. This includes the sharp, pungent kick of Axone (fermented soybean paste) and the intense heat of the Raja Mircha (King Chilli). We don't use shortcuts. We keep our curries oil-free and traditional, using indigenous herbs that you won't find in standard city markets. Whether you're curious about our fermented rice drink, Zutho, served in handcrafted Longpi pottery, or you want to feast on our crispy pork ribs, we want to share the warmth of our community with you. We have gone from a tiny Andheri kitchen to hosting everyone from local foodies to curious visitors, but the vibe remains exactly the same—simple, welcoming, and deeply rooted in our culture. ## About Naga Belly We are Aren and Juliet, childhood friends from Dimapur who started this journey in our home kitchen during lockdown. Today, we're still just two friends sharing the food we grew up with and the traditions we love with our Mumbai family.
