About Aaswad Food

Aaswad Food was born from a simple dream - to create a place where authentic Indian flavors meet warm hospitality.

Founded with a passion for traditional cuisine and a commitment to quality, Aaswad Food has become a beloved dining destination in Nagpur. We specialize in authentic Maharashtrian and Saoji cuisine, prepared using traditional recipes and in-house masalas.

Every dish we serve tells a story of tradition, every meal we share creates a memory, and every guest who walks through our doors becomes part of our extended family.
