  •  Hello Eden, it’s lovely to have you here. Please introduce yourself to our readers! 

Hi, my name is Eden Kichu. I was born and brought up in Mokokchung, a place I can call home. Growing up, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and enjoy the thrills and flexibility. This inspired me to step into the food sector. It was challenging but I have been doing it for two decades now and I absolutely love it.

  • What makes your restaurant special?

We started off as a small family affair. My aunt and my sister started small by catering and doing small gatherings & offices. We never planned on expanding but as the demand for our services increased, we felt that Mokokchung was ready for a change. Hence, we started the restaurant to cater to and serve the people in our humble way. I guess it’s the unity, the love, and the zeal to serve, and also to improvise our services that’s make it all the more special.

  •  What do you hope people take away from your restaurant?

We behave in ‘quality over quantity.’ So hopefully, we can live up to the expectation of our customers.

  • What has been your driving force or the biggest inspiration?

I’ll say patience, perseverance and the support from family and well-wishers is what inspired me to expand. And hence with the experience that we had gathered from being in the food and service sector for almost 2 decades.
We are humbled to announce that we will be opening another branch in Mokokchung called ‘The restaurant 2’, before Christmas 2019.
