History Behind Eat Raja
You will be surprised to know that Eat Raja in Malleshwaram is actually more than 40 years old. This juice bar belonged to Anand Raaj’s father. It was one of the first juice shops in the area and was popular for its cold-pressed juices. Anand Raaj’s father educated his son, so he wouldn’t have to work in a juice shop, like him. But as they say, its all in destiny’s hands. Anand Raaj completed his engineering and then became a successful RJ in Bangalore.
But two years back his father passed away. And his mother took care of the juice shop. But they had trying times and the juice shop was facing few losses. That’s when Anand Raaj quit his RJ career and helped his mother to run his father’s juice shop. But he wanted to give it a unique organic spin. So he decided to have a Zero Waste policy and work on a unique concept of serving his juices in the fruit itself, to avoid wastage. He put his engineering skills to use in carving out the fruits in the appropriate shape to hold the juice. Within no time, Bangaloreans loved his juices not only for their refreshing taste but for the spectacular way of serving it too.
