In 1985, Ushaben and Nayanaben started making Indian snacks at home the way many people used to, back in India more than 8500 miles away. Bharatbhai would sell these snacks to his peers and clients of Indian descent. While Chandrakantbhai would sell it to people as he picked up odd jobs around Los Angles. Within 2 years they decided to open a restaurant with the intent of providing traditional village style Indian food, something that was being missed by the hundreds of Indians migrating to America.
