Authentic North Eastern Flavours in Mumbai
Taste the bold, earthy traditions of the Northeast and Himalayas. From fiery King Chilli wings to our signature Manipuri Singju salad, these are the recipes we grew up with, brought straight to your table in Juhu.
Our U-Morok Chicken Wings are not for the faint of heart. The deep, dark glaze comes from our special spicy sauce featuring the legendary King Chilli, giving the tender wings a smoky and intense heat. Served with fresh lime and a cooling slaw.
A behind the scenes look at how we prepare our fiery U-Morok Chicken Wings. Watch our chef toss the freshly fried wings in our house-made Singju spicy sauce, ensuring every piece is perfectly coated before being plated with care.
This video showcases the preparation of our popular pork appetizers. We start with high quality smoked pork, which is then sliced and cooked into a crisp dry fry, seasoned with bold spices for a perfect bar snack or starter.
The Singju salad is a signature dish from Manipur and the inspiration for our name. It features a refreshing and crunchy mix of shredded vegetables, crispy lotus stem, and a distinctive dressing made with perilla seeds and fermented fish for an umami kick.
To ensure true authenticity, we source our smoked pork directly from Manipur. This image shows the vacuum-sealed packs of high-quality pork we use in our dishes, bringing the genuine, smoky flavour of the Northeast right to your plate in Mumbai.
About Flavours from the Hills
Our smoked pork is sourced directly from Manipur, ensuring that deep, rustic, wood-smoke flavour that is impossible to replicate with regular market meat. We do not tone down the spice for local palates either—when we mention the U-Morok King Chilli, we mean the real, fiery heat that is a hallmark of our cuisine. It is raw, unapologetically bold, and exactly how we eat it back home.
Bringing the Northeast to Juhu
We started Singju because we were tired of missing the taste of home. Mumbai has plenty of food, but the earthy, fermented, and spicy profile of North Eastern cuisine was missing. This collection, 'Flavours from the Hills,' is our answer to that craving.
Why Our Ingredients Matter
Authenticity starts with the source. Whether it is the fermented fish used in our Singju salad or the dried chillies that give our wings that smoky kick, we go the extra mile to get the real deal.
- The Singju Salad: This is our namesake for a reason. It is a complex mix of shredded vegetables, crunchy lotus stem, and fermented fish, bound together by perilla seeds. It is refreshing, crunchy, and packs a sharp umami punch that you won't find in typical salads.
- U-Morok & Bhoot Jolokia: We use these legendary chillies not just for heat, but for their unique, aromatic flavour profile. Our wings and pork dry fries are designed for those who appreciate the 'kick' that only these peppers can provide.
An Acquired Taste?
Some of our dishes, especially those featuring fermented elements or very bold spices, are an acquired taste. We don't apologize for that—we embrace it. If you are adventurous and looking for a meal that tells a story of the hills, the bamboo forests, and generations of tradition, you are in the right place. Chalo, try it out, and let us know what you think.
