Our Story

From a 10-seater dhaba to Mumbai's favourite family restaurant

How It All Began

In 1995, Ramesh Sharma left his hometown of Lucknow with ₹40,000 in savings and a notebook full of his mother's recipes. He opened a tiny 10-seater dhaba near Andheri station — no signboard, no menu card, just a blackboard and the aroma of slow-cooked dal. Word spread. Within a year, the queue stretched past the station. Today, Annapurna Kitchen seats 120 guests across two floors, but the kitchen still runs on the same principle: fresh ingredients, hand-ground spices, and no shortcuts.

The New Chapter

Expanded to 120 seats with a rooftop section, live kitchen counter, and a dedicated events floor for weddings and corporate dinners.

“Good food cannot be rushed. Our kadhai paneer simmers for forty minutes, our nihari for twelve hours. The clock does not decide when the food is ready — the food decides.”
