A family kitchen that grew up
Naveen began in 2012 as a 12-seater run by one family, with one promise: food that tastes like it was cooked at home on a Sunday.
Today we serve over a thousand guests a week, but the masalas are still roasted by hand every morning and every plate still goes past the head chef before it leaves the kitchen.
