Authentic Naga Cuisine in Mumbai
We are Aren and Juliet, bringing the honest flavours of our home in Dimapur to Andheri. From firewood-smoked pork to ingredients sourced directly from farmers in Nagaland, we invite you to experience the true warmth of our culture.
A complete Naga meal is a feast for the senses. This spread features our signature smoked pork in Anishi black curry, pork with bamboo shoot, red sticky rice, boiled vegetables, and a fiery King Chilli chutney, all served traditionally on a banana leaf.
Our Crispy Pork Ribs are a must try. We season a whole rack of ribs with Naga spices and fry it to perfection, leaving the skin incredibly crispy while the meat remains tender and juicy. It's served with fresh cucumber, lemon, and our house-made chili dip.
This is how we make the smoked pork that is the heart of so many of our dishes. We smoke the meat slowly over a firewood flame, an old school method from our villages in Nagaland that gives the pork a deep, rich, and smoky flavor you can't get any other way.
Our famous Axone Chicken Wings are coated in a pungent and flavorful sauce made from fermented soybeans. This dish is a true taste of Nagaland, delivering a powerful umami flavor that is both unique and unforgettable.
We also prepare fresh seafood in the traditional Naga style. Here is a whole roasted fish, marinated in our house spices and served with steamed seasonal vegetables, fresh lemon, and a side of savory dipping sauce.
We serve our traditional fermented rice drink, a light and tangy beverage, in handcrafted Longpi pottery. This black pottery is made by artisans in Manipur from a special blend of stone and clay, bringing a piece of our heritage to your table.
The soul of our cooking comes from the ingredients we source directly from Nagaland. This platter shows some of our essentials: Naga garlic, dried King Chilli, wild sumac, perilla seeds, and sticky corn, each adding a unique layer of flavor.
Welcome to our new home. We've moved to a slightly bigger space to welcome more of you, but we've kept the same simple, warm vibe that makes our restaurant feel like you're sharing a meal with family.
We were so honored to host actor Arshad Warsi and his family for a meal. Sharing our Naga hospitality and introducing them to the flavors of our homeland was a moment of immense pride for our entire team.
About Featured
If you are visiting for the first time, know that our space is cozy and small, designed to feel like you are sharing a meal at home. When you walk in and notice a distinct, pungent aroma, that is the smell of our signature Axone (fermented soybean) doing its work in the kitchen. It is an acquired taste for some, but for us, it is the true soul of Naga cooking.
Our journey started in a small home kitchen in Andheri during the lockdown, just wanting to share the food we grew up with. Today, we are grateful to serve that same comfort to you.
The Art of Naga Cooking Our methods are simple and old-school. We do not believe in heavy frying or excess oil. Instead, we use traditional techniques like firewood smoking for our pork, which gives it a deep, rich flavour you simply cannot replicate with a gas stove.
Ingredients That Matter We source our ingredients directly from the farmers' markets in Nagaland. When you taste our food, you are tasting the Raja Mircha (King Chilli) for that fiery kick, the pungent Axone for umami, and the fresh bamboo shoots that bring a tangy note to our curries. We also use Anishi (smoked taro leaves) for our signature black curries, a rare flavour we are proud to share in Mumbai.
How to Eat Like a Pro We recommend starting with our signature smoked pork or crispy ribs. If you want the full experience, order a Naga Thali. It comes with sticky rice—which is best eaten with your hands—and a side of our fiery King Chilli chutney. If the heat or the pungency is new to you, just ask our team for guidance. We are always happy to help you find a dish that suits your palate. Whether you are coming for our prawn and mushroom curry or our famous Axone chicken wings, we want you to leave feeling like part of our family.
