Hey everyone,

It is Day 5 since we opened, and our very first Sunday is officially in the books. To be honest, we just sat down to catch our breath and finally get a bite to eat.

First off, a massive, heartfelt thank you to the Reddit community. We saw your notes on the Zomato and Swiggy orders saying "I'm from Reddit!" and it honestly put the biggest smiles on our faces. As promised, we made sure to slip an extra packet of starters into every single order that mentioned the community. We really hope we kept our promise well!

If you ordered from us today, please let us know how the food was! Drop a comment, DM us, or give us your honest feedback, we want to know how you enjoyed your meal today so we can keep improving.

Funny story from today is we completely underestimated Sunday hunger. Our first batch of Biryani was wiped out by 12:30 PM! We did not expect orders to fly out that fast, so we had to scramble and pull off a second massive batch on the fly to keep up.

Right now, things have finally slowed down, and we are just relaxing. Look what my chef just whipped up for my post-rush meal: Chicken Gravy. 🤤

How many of you want a bite of this? Let’s share!

If you want to check us out, we are listed on Swiggy and Zomato as New Cherry Family Restaurant, Immidahalli Circle, Whitefield.

Thank you all again for the incredible love and support. You made our first Sunday unforgettable! ❤️

Today was absolute madness. I wanted to post an update hours ago, but Day 4 kicked our backsides in the best way possible.

Here is how the chaos went down:

# 10:30 AM: We started prepping, marinating, and chopping like our lives depended on it.

#The First Ring: Swiggy goes ding! The very first order of the day drops: 3 Chicken Biryanis, 3 Dragon Chickens, and 1 Mix Meat Fried Rice. (Aaj to amawos hai, non veg kam pakana hai - 2 min earlier our chef was talking this 🤣)

#The Time Jump: We started cooking that first order... and boom! We looked up, and it was suddenly 3:00 PM. We completely lost track of time.

The Final Scoreboard for Day 4:

#Swiggy: 45 orders!

#Zomato: 39 orders!

#Takeaways: 19 orders!

#Catering order: 1 (for 30 pax confirmed at 12pm 😅)

#Total: 103 families fed and 1 party 🥳!

We are absolutely exhausted, our feet are killer, but our hearts are so full. Tired? Yes. Happy? Ecstatic! 😊

Whitefield is pouring so much love into Cherry's Family Restaurant. We are just a small kitchen trying to serve freshly prepared, honest meals, and this community has wrapped its arms around us. Thank you to every single person who ordered, called, messaged, or left a review today. You are making our dream real.

Now, drop your comments below! I will reply to every single one of them manually (and if my grammar is bad, blame the kitchen fatigue, not ChatGPT! 😜).

LOVE YOU, REDDIT! ❤️

Hey foodies! Just wanted to share a quick milestone from our 4th day of business here in Whitefield. We initially started out strictly as a cloud kitchen, but we literally just finished arranging a few tables today!

So instead of just ordering online, people can now actually drop by for a casual brunch or just pick up takeaway orders directly from us.

Our kitchen is currently in absolute overdrive today. For some reason, our Biryani and Chinese dishes are getting slammed with bulk orders, we have just packed food one of our 1st day customer for 19 pax small house party around the Whitefield area right now. (Photo- ready to deliver 😋)It is chaotic but honestly so exciting to see the food move out.

Aside from standard walk-ins, we are also opening up to handle corporate orders, daily employee meals, and catering for small gatherings.

Since we are brand new, we want to make sure we are serving exactly what the community wants. If you live or work around Whitefield, what do you usually look for in a daily meal or a weekend party menu? Would love to get your honest feedback on what dishes we should focus on next!

You all know how we started yesterday 😁 We are a new kitchen trying to bring authentic, high-quality flavors to the neighborhood. Day 2 is already keeping us on our toes with the surprise repeated 13-Biryani order!

Since we are fine-tuning our menu, we want to know from the ultimate critics: What makes or breaks a Biryani delivery for you? Is it the rice-to-meat ratio, the spice blend, or the quality of the raita? Let us know below!

Hey everyone!

I’m feeling a mix of nerves and pure adrenaline right now. Today is officially Day 1 of our kitchen operations, and we just sent out our very first Zomato order!

A massive thank you to Mr. Pradeep, our first-ever customer. If you’re reading this, Pradeep, we’ve put a lot of heart into your meal. We hope it’s the best thing you eat all day.

Starting a food business in this city and specially in Whitefield has been a dream of ours, and seeing that first notification pop up on the tablet felt surreal. We are officially live and ready to serve the community!

We’d love to hear from you. For those who have started their own side hustles or businesses:

What was your "Day 1" like?

What’s the one thing you think makes a local food spot "legendary" instead of just "good"?

We’re keeping the stove hot and the passion higher. Wish us luck! 🥘✨

There is a specific kind of discipline that comes with nine years in a professional kitchen. Our head chef, hailing from the misty hills of Darjeeling, West Bengal, brings that exact blend of patience and precision to every dish he fires.

In Darjeeling, food is about more than just fuel; it’s about heat, soul, and technique. He has spent nearly a decade refining his mastery of Chinese cuisine, ensuring that every toss of the wok and every balance of spice is backed by years of high-pressure experience.

We believe that great food shouldn't be complicated, but it should be executed with expertise. If you appreciate the art of a well-seasoned wok and the hands of a seasoned pro, we’d love for you to experience the menu he’s built.

Stop by and give our concept a try

- we’ll let the flavors do the rest of the talking.
