My Story
Hey, we’re Northeastone. We’re Naga and Manipuri folks bringing home flavours from the Northeast to Bangalore. Finding fresh veggies and real ingredients here is tough, so we started this for anyone missing those tastes or just curious. No fancy stuff, just straight-up Northeast groceries, the way we know it. You get what you see. Come, try something different.
