In 2017, our adventure in the world of food began with a simple temporary stall during the lively celebrations of Durga Puja, lasting just three days. Surprisingly, those three days sparked an unexpected surge of enthusiasm and support from our patrons. Word spread rapidly, and soon, people were eagerly seeking out our dishes beyond the boundaries of the stall. It was during this time that the likes of Neel Akash, Rajiv Sharma, Bharat Saikia, Kailash Kusum, and Jagat Gogoi stepped forward, not only as patrons but as visionaries, urging us to take our passion for food to the next level. Their encouragement and guidance became the driving force for our journey into the realm of a full-fledged restaurant. A pivotal moment came when they informed us that Zubeen Garg would be visiting Moran and expressed their desire for us to host him at our restaurant. This news further fueled our determination to pursue excellence in the art of cuisine. And thus, with their steadfast support and the excitement of our newfound community, our restaurant was born.
