Cities with a Secret Kitchen

~90%

Of every outlet’s gravy bases made in one Baroda factory

AS OF NOVEMBER 2026 · VERIFIED FACT SHEET

The secret is the system.

  • 01One factory, every kitchenAbout 90% of the gravy bases and masalas for every TSK outlet come from our own Baroda factory, made with retort technology and shipped ready to cook. Consistency is built in, not hoped for.
  • 02A playbook proven abroadSydney in 2022, a master franchise in Vaughan, Toronto, in 2024, and Schaumburg, Chicago, in 2026. Each opening refined the system a partner receives.
  • 03Menus that travelA vegetarian saga in Gujarat, localised menus abroad. The same royal Indian recipes, adapted to each city without losing the taste.
  • 04A chef who lands firstChef Aanal leads launches herself, from menu trials to staff training and opening week, as she did in Toronto and Chicago. Partners get the founder, not just a manual.
