Those who are Sindhis or a big fan of Sindhi food would get to know why Sindhi cuisine is one of the best in India. with the same thought Mohinish Shankar Thadani started off with a restaurant Monu’s Diner serving Sindhi cuisine. This small restaurant located in Viman Nagar, is Sindhi cuisine paradise and those who are a die hard fan of Sindhi cuisine would love to visit this place and have tummy-full meal. Apart from Sindhi cuisine, it also serves north Indian and Chinese cuisine. MY Indian Dream spoke to Mohinish about this restaurant an its speciality.
Tell us about your restaurant.
With passion for food, I started off with a hoteling business four years before. Initially, I started off with a franchise and now run my own business. I am a complete foodie and love to make people happy by serving scrumptious meal. Also, our restaurant being a small place, which is only 24 seater place, we truly believe in serving quality food.
It is a small restaurant with simple ambience and our guests come here just for good food. Therefore our motto is to serve quality food in affordable prices.
What about the cuisine served at your restaurant.
Basically, our restaurant serves North Indian, Chinese and Sindhi cuisine. Sindhi cuisine being our speciality. I belong to a Sindhi family and since childhood I have known many Sindhi dishes which are loved by one and all. Being a Sindhi and having a passion for food I wanted to serve people traditional Sindhi food. Guests here come specially to taste Sindhi cuisine.
Any particular dishes that people love at your restaurant.
As we serve traditional Sindhi cuisine, we make sure that it is served with authentic taste. Kokie and Dal Pakwan are few dishes which our guests loved. Now we are also planning to introduce the traditional non vegetarian Sindhi curries at our restaurant. Sindhi Kadhi is another dish that people love. even while dishes are Sindhi, we have our secret family recipes which are served at the restaurant. Even in Sindhi families the recipes and taste changes family-to-family. Therefore people specially come to taste our recipes. Also we take suggestions from our Sindhi guest about their experience about our restaurant.
Being in hoteling business, any steps for zero food wastage?
Yes, We make sure that we do not prepare excess food. Also our restaurant believe in charity so we make sure that we serve underprivileged people with some fresh food.
What do you think about FoodDosti app?
It is definitely a good move and a positive step to reduce food wastage. We have customers who feel surprised to see incentive points once they finish their entire plate. Also other things in the app help people not to waste food and order only that much which is required. It is definitely a good move that will help Indians to value food and also reduce food wastage.
