  • Simi’s Kitchen – Our Story
  • By Karan Patel

  • Simi’s Kitchen started from something really simple — a love for the food I grew up with and a deep desire to share it with others. I’m Karan Patel, and this is a venture I started with my mom, Seema. She’s been cooking for over 30 years, and honestly, she’s the heart and soul of Simi’s Kitchen.

  • I started cooking with her when I was 17. At first, it was just curiosity — helping in the kitchen, asking questions, and learning the flavors and techniques that made our home meals so special. But over time, I realized I wanted to build something around it — to take those family recipes and traditions and share them with our community.

  • What most people don’t know is that I didn’t just learn about food from my mom — I also learned a lot from my dad. He had a real love for BBQ and hosting. He was always the one grilling, welcoming people, and making sure everyone felt at home. That spirit of hospitality, of bringing people together through food, has had a big influence on how we do things at Simi’s Kitchen.

  • We started small — weekly meals, a few customers at a time. Our very first pop-up was at Outrun Brewery, and the response blew us away. That first event showed us just how excited people were to experience authentic Indian flavors in a fun, social setting. Since then, we’ve expanded into monthly pop-ups, hands-on cooking classes, and catering for office lunches and private gatherings. It’s been amazing to watch this little idea grow, with support from people who love good food and genuine connection.

  • To me, Simi’s Kitchen is more than just a business. It’s a way to honor where we come from and invite others in — one plate at a time.

  • At Simi's Kitchen, we believe that food is more than sustenance—it's a way to connect, celebrate, and nourish hearts. That's why we craft each dish using only the freshest ingredients, infused with a sprinkle of affection and a deep respect for Indian culinary traditions.
