Our Canadian culinary journey began in 2001 in North Waterloo, and we've recently expanded to Toronto (Summer of 2023).

Led by Chef Thiru, with nearly five decades of international culinary expertise, we specialize in crafting fresh, flavourful dishes with our unique take on ‘timeless’ Indian cuisine. We take pride in our craft, and being known as the home of the award-winning "most heart-healthy soup*".

We're excited to offer our exquisite Indian cuisine for take-out, delivery, and catering, along with our renowned soups, signature sauces, and 'curry-in-jar' available in-store for

enjoying at home or cottage. We are delighted to join this vibrant community

and welcoming neighbourhood.
