Noor Indian Fusion Kitchen

05/26/2026

I wasn’t born into this and I am definitely figuring it out as I go.

This is not my first restaurant but with every new project, there are highs, lows, pivots, wins and moments of doubts and I want to share all of it honestly.

From designing and demos, construction, sourcing, creating and everything in between. I am documenting the real journey of building.
Follow along as I build my New location

When Noor meets , you know we aren’t settling for the usual.
We spent a rainy afternoon tossing out the rulebook and obsessing over every single flavor note.

Dropping a little BTS of our Peach Tomato Panjiri Chaat creation with the amazing .

It’s got the sweetness of fresh peaches, the tang of tomatoes, and that perfect, nostalgic panjiri
crunch.

Here’s what “they said”- Ep 1
A series where we pause and listen. Because the most genuine story of food comes from the ones who taste it, experience it and remember it.

Some things really do come full circle… just not in the ways you expect.
What once felt like a distant idea just conversations, late-night plans, and “what ifs”… is no longer a concept.
It’s real. It’s happening. It’s unfolding right now.

San Francisco… did you guess it?
We’re coming. ✨

Food has a way of closing any distance and This one does it effortlessly.

Recipe For Mughlai Chicken Changezi:

1. Marinate the Chicken
Mix all marination ingredients and coat the chicken well. Let it rest for at least 1 hour (overnight = best flavor).
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat a little oil and cook the marinated chicken until 80% done. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Base
• Heat oil + butter in a pan
• Add whole spices and let them release aroma
• Add onions and sauté until golden brown
• Add ginger-garlic paste → cook till raw smell disappears
• Add tomato → cook until oil separates
• Add all powdered spices → sauté briefly
• Add cashew → cook 2–3 mins and then blend everything using an emulsion blender
• Add the in heavy cream → mix well
• Add cooked chicken + a little water if needed.
Let it simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes until thick and creamy.
6. Final Touch

We started as a small cloud kitchen with just a team and a vision, putting in long hours and figuring things out along the way. It wasn’t perfect, but it was ours, and we believed in making everything fresh, every single day. Slowly, with consistency and heart, that small beginning grew into something bigger, and today Noor stands proudly in Berkeley, still rooted in the same values we started with.

The best part of the week is finally letting it go.
Good drinks, warm lights, and no where else to be.

Not every day was graceful. Building Noor came with meltdowns, moments of doubt, and having to start over more than once. But through it all, she kept choosing herself and moving forward. This is the real story behind Noor, the setbacks, the strength, and the resilience it takes to keep going.

Not built to follow what’s next.
Built on what lasts.

Tradition, over trends. Always.

In a world full of sameness,
we chose something deeper.

Something personal.
Something that feels like home.

Behind every detail, a story.
Behind Noor, a heart.

A mother. A creator.
The soul of it all.
