Our special Diwali menu is landing 3–8 November with a line-up of dishes made for sharing, over-ordering and fighting over the last bite 👀

Swipe for a little preview of what’s coming… and obviously Nani’s Nightcap had to get involved too 👵🏽🍸

A restaurant tasting looks glamorous on camera… but there’s a LOT more going on behind the scenes 😂

It’s never just “does this taste good?” — we might absolutely love a dish, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it belongs on the menu.

Can the kitchen prep it efficiently? Can we execute it consistently when we’re doing 100+ covers? Does it take too long during service? Can we source the ingredients reliably? Is there too much waste? Does the costing actually make sense? Does it add something different to the menu? And most importantly… will people actually order it? 👀

Sometimes the dish everyone loves at the tasting is the exact one that gets cut.

A little BTS of what actually goes into deciding what makes it onto a KOKUM menu🍴

Things that would send our chefs into a coma 💀

Making the butter chicken “more creamy”? 🚩
Cooking the lamb chops VERY well done? 🚩
Asking for pani puri… without the pani? We may never recover.

Part 2 is currently pending chef approval (and emotional recovery) 😂

Now confess… what do YOU do that would personally offend our chefs? 👇🏽

i thought opening a restaurant was mostly about the food… turns out that’s probably the easiest part 😭

people… payroll… marketing… maintenance… service… cash flow… and about 47 problems you didn’t know existed until they’re suddenly yours

3 years in and still learning something new every single week

things i wish i knew before opening a restaurant at 21… part 1 🤍

Yesterday a friend came into the kitchen, saw the laccha parathas and asked the chef when he was baking the cinnamon rolls. 😭

And thus, a new series was born.
