In the last few months, we’ve witnessed several Asian cloud kitchen launches in the city that are far superior to the standard, soggy, MSG-laden takeaways that we sampled during the lockdown. In our fast-moving lives, these cloud kitchens offer convenience, variety, affordability, and quality right when we crave it, in the comfort of our homes. Last week, we previewed Double Dragon, a Bandra-based Asian cloud kitchen by the Auriga hospitality (of Bonobo fame) by Anup Gandhi, Nevil Timbadia, and Sahil Timbadia. The brand name we are told is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Dragon (this year) and it offers Asian flavours with vegan, vegetarian, non-vegetarian and gluten-free options — a culinary factor that Bandraites are familiar with.
