Eden Kichu has been in the food and services industry for over two decades. What began as a humble food service, started with his family, has now become a successful restaurant based in Mokokchung. For years, Eden’s focus has been to offer quality food to the locals — and that’s what has led him to success.
We spoke with Eden about his journey with entrepreneurship, the opening of another branch of his restaurant and more.
- 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 gathering & offices. We never planned on expanding but as the demand of our services increased, we felt that Mokokchung was ready for a change. Hence, we started the restaurant to cater 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.
