And here’s the best part: we use no food coloring at all—just pure spices, fresh ingredients, and an extra dose of love. How It All Began... In 2009, Hemant Phul was running a nightclub in the Meatpacking District when he had a brilliant idea: why not serve up some spicy Indian street food to late-night revelers? It began as an after-hours experiment, with dishes like smoky kebabs and fiery curries. It was a hit. New Yorkers loved it—and they wanted more.
