Our History​

How it all started

Founded in July 2021, our journey began with a simple mission — to bring the authentic flavors of Madurai to food lovers across Canada. Inspired by the vibrant street food, home-style cooking, and rich culinary traditions of Tamil Nadu, our kitchen was born from the passion of someone deeply rooted in Madurai’s food culture. What started as a small home grown venture driven by love for tradition has now become a beloved destination for those craving real South Indian taste. We are proudly serving the diverse palate of the Indian dining scene fresh and made from scratch everyday.
