Named after Rashmi’s own Nani (grandmother), Laalima is a quiet tribute to all grandmothers — the ones who fed us with their hands and showed us that tenderness has an unforgettable flavour. Each dish is a journey back to her Nani Ghar, shaped by slow, golden summers at her grandmother’s bungalow in Yercaud’s coffee-scented hills. Those days were filled with naps under ceiling fans, running barefoot on the grass, and the scent of garlic and mustard oil drifting in from the kitchen.

This three-course family-style menu honours the rustic, bold flavours of Bihar, an eastern state in India where mustard takes center stage, garlic is never held back, and fennel sweetens the finish. With Laalima, Rashmi invites you to return to a grandmother’s home and to the quiet joy of being so loved, someone made your favourite food before you even asked.

Haem’s Table is named after Niharika’s maternal grandmother, Hemlata—lovingly called Haem. Through Haem’s Table, Niharika explores her immigrant experience and her evolving relationship with food. Having lived in seven cities - currently in Toronto - her life has been shaped by a constantly changing backdrop of people, places, and stories. What has remained constant is her connection to food—an anchor to her heritage and a guide through her personal growth. This five-course menu reimagines Indian childhood favourites using Canadian seasonal produce. Think of it as an adult kid’s menu, filled with all things green.

Gujarat’s reputation as a strictly vegetarian haven isn’t the whole truth. "Pure Non-Veg" is my playful jab at this rigid mindset, serving as a reminder that Gujaratis have been enjoying delicious meat dishes for centuries. Come hungry for bold flavors, captivating stories, and dishes cooked straight from my heart (and my memories!). Because guess what? Gujarat isn’t purely vegetarian, and it’s high time we celebrate that delicious fact!
