Our Story

It started with a craving.

We loved shawarma. We loved fried chicken. But we always felt something was missing—that perfect collision of culture and crunch. So we asked ourselves: "What happens when India's spice heritage meets the world's favorite comfort food?"

The reinvention of "Authentic"

Purists might say we broke the rules. We say we evolved them. Traditional shawarma is beautiful, but we wanted texture. We wanted that shatter-crisp bite of golden fried chicken wrapped in a pillow-soft rumali.
