For the past 13 years, we have dedicated ourselves to bringing unexplored recipes from India’s diverse regions to your plate and the best dining experiences.

Our journey began in 2011 in Mumbai, driven by a singular vision: to revolutionise the Indian dining experience by showcasing the depth and diversity of regional cuisines. What started as a passion project for Pankaj Gupta, later joined by his brother Avinash Gupta, has grown into a dynamic hospitality group with 200+ talented individuals sharing our commitment to culinary excellence and a love for Indian cuisine.

From our first venture, Oye Kake—a heart-warming, generous vegetarian Punjabi restaurant—to our latest addition, Kerala Quarters, each of our brands tells a unique story. Our portfolio now spans four distinct brands across eight outlets in Mumbai and Hyderabad, with ambitious expansion plans for Tier 1 and 2 cities.

Pankaj Gupta’s culinary journey is deeply personal. 

A transformative solo trip to Amritsar sparked the creation of Oye Kake in Mumbai, challenging the conventions of commercial, often non-vegetarian North Indian cuisine with home-style flavours.

This success led to the birth of Taftoon, delving deeper into North Indian regional food, followed by CIRQA 1960, our innovative and forward-thinking cocktail bar and restaurant. Each establishment represents a careful study of regional flavours, cooking techniques, and cultural heritage, bringing something truly unique to Mumbai’s dining landscape.

Flavour Pot Foods stands as a testament to the power of pursuing one’s passion and the endless possibilities within Indian cuisine. Our commitment remains unchanged: to create dining experiences that honour the authentic flavours of India in a refreshing setting.
