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. ## About Naga Belly We are Aren and Juliet, childhood buddies from Dimapur who started this journey in our home kitchen.
