Authentic Naga Vegetarian Food and Lighter Fare in Mumbai

Many people associate Naga cuisine only with smoked pork or fiery meat curries, but our diet at home relies heavily on what the land gives us. We source fresh, seasonal vegetables and wild herbs directly from Nagaland because they have a depth of flavour you simply cannot find here in the city.

Our lighter fare focuses on the art of boiling, which preserves the nutrients and natural taste of the produce. Instead of heavy gravies, we use minimal oil and rely on the natural ingredients to create depth. Rusep is the perfect example of this. The blend of bitterness and tanginess is something we grew up with, and it is a palate cleanser that makes every other dish taste better.

If you are looking for a quick lunch or a lighter dinner, our noodle bowls are a favourite. We pack them with fresh, crunchy vegetables and our signature Naga spices, giving you a meal that is satisfying without feeling heavy. We also offer oil-free vegetable curries that pair perfectly with our sticky rice.

Whether you are a vegetarian or just looking for a break from the heavier meat dishes, our vegetable preparations offer a glimpse into the everyday diet of our homes in Nagaland. Come by our Andheri kitchen to try these traditional sides, or order them to complete your meal at home.
