Aside from being the national tree of India, banyan tree has been immortalized as the tree under which the Buddha attained nirvana. It is also enshrined in Indian folklore as a shade-giving tree and a place for the village locals to meet up. We envision Banyan Tree as a place which will connect our close knit community through food
San and Florence have always shared their love affair for food and have traveled far and wide across the world to taste the hidden flavors. Food is the secret sauce which brought them together! San was born in India and Florence is from the Philippines. Banyan Tree symbolizes their journey of branching out and putting down roots together in a new land.
San shared a very special bond with his Bapi (Dad) whom he lost recently. His dad had a profound love for cooking and dreamed of having his own place someday to serve gourmet food. He spent many an evening cooking for friends and family and boy did they love it! The concept of Banyan Tree is a dedication to Bapi and his dream of a place to bring people and food together.
We are bringing this "explosion of flavors in your mouth" dish to you right out of the streets of India.

While Dahi Puri is traditionally a no meat dish, we are putting our local twist to this dish by offering a lamb mince version and for vegetarians a Paneer version.
Probably the most sought after Indian dish and a perennial favorite, tender pieces of chicken in a rich creamy sauce amped up by using butter from a local dairy farm. If you like flavors which are rich and complex, then look no further!
