Moving to North America as a teenager, I brought the South Asian flavors I loved—cardamom, roasted nuts, traditional street food—and began fusing them into everyday meals, blending the culture I came from with the culture I embraced. While I found good Desi food options in the region, I missed a minimalist, modern café space that was family-friendly and comfortable. I envisioned a place where families, professionals, and students could enjoy authentic South Asian flavors in a clean, relaxing environment that honored cultural identity while celebrating the fusion of both worlds without compromising on quality or ambiance.
