Eden Kichu, owner of ‘The Restaurant’, Mokokchung

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.
