We focus on recreating the exact atmosphere of a celebration back home in Nagaland. This means serving traditional dishes like Smoked Pork with Bamboo Shoot just as we would at a family gathering, ensuring the ingredients and the warmth of the setting stay true to our traditions. Our festival menus and pop-up events are how we bridge the distance between Mumbai and Nagaland. We want you to understand that Naga cuisine is about more than just spice—it is about patience, fermentation, and community. ### Celebrating Our Roots During festivals like Tuluni, which marks the harvest season for the Sumi Naga tribe, we bring in special ingredients and prepare dishes that are rarely found elsewhere in the city. We often display traditional garments and explain the significance of the festival, transforming our space into a hub for cultural exchange. For Christmas, we curate a unique spread featuring Pork Blood Sausage, Smoked Pork Momos, and Chicken Sticky Rice wrapped in banana leaves—dishes that carry the soul of our upbringing. ### Pop-Ups and New Experiences Beyond our Andheri restaurant, we love taking our food on the road. Our pop-up at Suzie's in Goa was a highlight for us. It taught us that the warmth of Naga hospitality transcends location. Whether we are in a tiny kitchen or serving a feast to new friends in a different city, the priority remains the same: sharing the bold, oil-free, and pungent flavours of Axone, Anishi, and Raja Mircha with people who appreciate real food. If you are looking to host a private celebration or want to know when our next pop-up event is happening, we invite you to reach out. We view every guest as part of our extended family, and we would love to have you at our next table. ## About Naga Belly We’re Aren and Juliet, childhood friends from Dimapur who started this journey in our home kitchen. Today, we bring the warmth of Naga festivals and community feasts straight to our spot in Andheri, inviting you to share in the culture that shaped us.
