Growing up with the rich culinary history of the Punjab, I’ve been obsessed with food for as long as I can remember.
It was during a food-fuelled trip to Puglia in 2019 that my wife and I had an epiphany–we wanted to open a restaurant in London. So my career as engineer took a backseat as we worked to turn this dream into a reality–and our passion for Italian cuisine was just the beginning!
We opened just before the first lockdown in 2020 and it hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride. Customers didn’t warm up to the concept immediately, but we slowly won them over with our passion, quality ingredients and–most importantly–our incredible flavours.
In 2021, business was struggling due to the impact of Covid-19, but we were thrown a lifeline. We were invited to take part in the BBC programme Britain’s Best Takeaways and after a fierce culinary battle, we took the crown as Best Pizza Takeaway in the country. Suddenly we had curious diners lining up to try our legendary food!
Now in 2024, we’re still serving up our exciting menu of Neapolitan style pizzas with vibrant Indian sauces and toppings alongside a selection of small plates of food that I personally love. We’re also still working with quality local suppliers to ensure that we source the best, freshest ingredients.
While the menu sometimes changes, our pizza dough remains the same. We still make it in the traditional Neapolitan style with a minimum of 48-hour proof. We use authentic Caputo rosso flour for a longer proof time and a dough body to stand up to both our traditional and unconventional range of toppings.
We also offer a punjabi lunch option at the weekend for people who are looking for comfort food from Punjab. The menu showcases the kind of dishes we ate on weekends when I was growing up in Punjab. We hope to see you soon.
Bon appetito!
