"Indian Food Truck in Mid Coast Maine with a Local Twist"
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.
