'The Secret Kitchen' name just felt right for an idea built on handmade spices. Here's the story behind it. #TheSecretKitchen #BrandName #Restaurant #BrandStory #ChefAanalKotak

At 19, I had a dream. No plan. Just a love for food. In 2017, The Secret Kitchen was born — where Indian spices are reimagined. 8 years later, we’re in 3 countries. And to celebrate, our OG favourites are back till June 15 across India. Come taste the secrets. — Aanal Kotak

Is veg biryani real biryani? As a chef, I’ve heard it all: “Pulao with confidence.” “A crime against biryani.” “Just lunch.” But if it’s layered, cooked on dum, fragrant, and spiced just right, That’s biryani. Period. Veg or not is just detail. What do you think? #VegBiryani

If I had to pick one bold step from our journey — it’s the open kitchen. We were the first in Gujarat to do it. Because food made with love should never be hidden. #TheSecretKitchen #OpenKitchen #EntrepreneurialJourney #ChefAanalKotak

I used to think “mild” was a universal standard. Until a customer sent back our mildest dish — twice. Now I know better. “Mild” means something different to everyone. And sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is simply ask one more question.

Startup lesson from my dadi: She always overcooked. Not wastefully, but intentionally. So no guest left unsatisfied. “Better to have extra and share,” she’d say. That’s customer delight. Build that into your product. Into your service. Into your culture. #startuplesson

Restaurant dreams are beautiful. But behind the plates and lights: → Tight margins → Staff headaches → Unpredictable demand If you’re starting out: Bring your passion, but also bring a plan. Success takes both heart and hustle. #restaurantbusiness

Every time I cook with corn, I think of my Nani's Makai ke Vade. So I gave it a twist — Corn Patty with Berry Salsa. Now it’s a favorite at Secret Kitchen. Come try the memory on a plate! #MakaiKeVade #CornPattyBerrySalsa #RecipeVideos #ChefAanalKotak

“Should I make one more roti?” — every Indian mom, even after everyone’s full. It wasn’t a question. It was care. Feeding in India isn’t about food. It’s about feeling. We don’t just serve meals. We serve reassurance. #IndianFamily #Mothers
