About Our Famous Thalis
When you order one of our thalis, you are not just getting a meal—you are getting a spread prepared with ingredients like Raja Marcha (king chilli) and Axone, sourced directly from our home. We keep it simple: no heavy masalas or cream, just the natural flavours of mustard oil, ginger, and fresh meat, served exactly how we eat it back in our motherland.
A thali is the best way to get a full experience of our cuisine. We do not believe in mass-producing or pre-cooking, so everything from the Aloo Pitika to the main curry is prepared fresh in our Andheri kitchen.
The Regional Difference
- Assamese Thali: Light, aromatic, and comforting. We pair our curries with Joha rice and the mandatory side of Aloo Pitika, which is mashed potatoes mixed with pungent mustard oil and chillies.
- Naga Thali: For those who like it bold. This is where we bring in the strong, tangy notes of fermented Bamboo Shoot and the intense heat of our Raja Marcha chutney.
- Manipuri Thali: Often features unique fermented sides like Ngari and traditional preparations that balance savory and earthy notes perfectly.
Why Our Ingredients Matter
We do not use store-bought substitutes. If a dish calls for Anishi or fermented soybeans, that is exactly what you get. These ingredients provide the depth and aroma that define Northeast Indian food. Because we source these directly, our supply is real and authentic.
Whether you are a seasoned lover of Northeast food or trying it for the first time, our thalis offer a complete, balanced plate. Come by, or order in, and experience the 'barkat'—the abundance and blessings—we pour into every bowl.
The Taste of Northeast
I started this place to share the food I grew up with, bringing the flavours of Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur to Mumbai. Every thali I serve is a piece of my home, cooked with the same love and fresh ingredients my family uses.
