"Founded by chef Meherwan Irani, this Asheville venture mirrors his emphasis on approachable Indian flavors and home cooking. The chef’s pandemic-era livestreams—focused on cooking for flavor rather than showmanship and demonstrating straightforward street-food dishes and curries—reshaped his approach, prompting him to prioritize comfort, reproducibility, and the act of cooking itself over food designed primarily to elicit social-media reactions. He intends to carry that ethos into operations as they resume." - ByMeherwan Irani
