From A Small Business From Home To A Restaurant
In July 2018, after two years of deep research and groundwork, the couple finally opened their restaurant in Berlin. There were about 500 restaurants in Germany that spoke about authentic Indian cuisine and Deepak was not here to be the 501th. His restaurant sure did serve authentic Indian cuisine but also freshly home cooked that too at affordable prices. He knew all the other restaurants missed the concept of freshly home cooked and he wanted to tackle that market. None of the two had any idea about pricing, menu, listings, etc. but the passion helped them learn it all on the job. Deepak’s restaurant business had to go through many ups and downs like a partner parting ways to a fire breaking out. Shailaja retains the cooking and also makes the masalas herself which is the secret to the success of the restaurant.
