LFC MUMBAI
January-June 2026
I had always admired what The Locavore stood for—its commitment to celebrating local food, culture, and community. So when the opportunity came to be a part of it, I knew I didn’t want to let it pass. That’s how LFC naturally became a part of my journey.
What’s your go-to local food spot in your city, and why does it matter to you?
My go-to local food spot in the city is a small chaat stall in Dahisar — the same bhaiyya I’ve been visiting since my school days. The food isn’t fancy or extraordinary, but that’s not why I go back. It’s the memories. That little stall has been a constant through different phases of my life.
One food trend you’re loving right now, and one you’re ready to see less of.
I love the fact that a lot of home-dining experiences are being launched. I think I am done seeing matcha everywhere.
What’s something you’ll almost always find in your fridge?
Pani puri chutney for sudden cravings.
What’s an LFC moment or memory that you’ll never forget?
When I attended the first LFC at the OML office, what stayed with me wasn’t just the event—it was the energy in the room. People weren’t just eating; they were connecting, sharing stories, and speaking about food with genuine passion and curiosity. There was a sense of community that felt rare and honest. In that moment, I knew this was a space I truly belonged in.
How do you imagine your Local Food Club growing and flourishing over time?
I believe my Club will truly grow when the conversations don’t end with the event. When
members begin meeting outside of it—without the SL having to initiate or facilitate—that’s when a real community starts forming.
