The House of FIO – the group that introduced fine food concepts like Cuisines & Concepts Catering, Fio-Country Kitchen, Fio Cookhouse, Dandy-The Fio Bar and Fio Pop, is all set to expand its reach in South Delhi and eventually NCR with the launch of a delivery kitchen – Charcha Gully. Serving ‘Easy Desi Food’, it is an amalgamation of carefully selected regional contemporary Indian & comfort Indian food.
Charcha Gully was built on the feeling of bonding over a meal, with nostalgic family favourites, sharing the gupshup of the day with your loved ones. It aims to take you on a flavorful food journey with nostalgia – evoking the feeling of going to the movies just to eat that special sandwich, or catching your favourite thela wala tossing up that fresh bhel, Charcha Gully is guaranteed to take you back in time. The Menu is well researched & authentic, inspired from the gullys & nukkads of our vibrant & diverse country. It handpicks selections from the kitchens of flavourful India, with each dish carrying its own history & story – making the menu experiential yet relatable.
Charcha Gully aims to bring a wholesome Indian meal experience, served in the comfort of your home. A curation of dishes that will appeal across age, and taste preferences, with a nod to satisfying everyone’s taste buds. From sizzling hot appetizers in KEBAB GULLY with Okhli Pop, Murg Ganna Kebab, Murg Bhatti Roast, Mamra Paneer Tikka, to flavourful Main Courses in MASHOOR GULLY like Hari Mirch Ka Meat, Lal Chowk Ka Tomato Paneer, Pitod Ki Kadhi, Prawn Drumstick Curry, and our take on Indian Street Food & Snacks – KHOMCHA GULLY with dishes like the Beetroot Roomali Rolls, innovative Chaats & Bhels, Poee Sandwiches & Kurkuri Katoris – Charcha Gully has a universal appeal. The dishes are carefully prepared with no compromise on the delicate balance of spices, by growing our own herb garden and sourcing fine ingredients. The kitchen uses techniques that keep tradition intact and maintain age-old cooking techniques perfected across generations – from the blending of spices on sil-battas to dum cooking, sun-drying, and also bringing Ayurvedic learnings to our recipes to balance the acidity of recipes.
Charcha Gully’s Menu brings together dishes that are old-time favorites and some new delicately nuanced and contemporary versions with prime thrust on authenticity of taste & technique.
Founded by Vineet Wadhwa – born & brought up in Amritsar, Punjab, who is a maven in curating balanced and tasteful menus. Having closely studied & enjoying Indian cuisine while growing up, his passion for the same has led him to curate this brand carefully. He further developed a keen interest in the culinary arts and started his own catering company by the name Cuisines & Concepts (formerly Instant Host and Laguna Banquets) back in 1989, which became a renowned name in the catering industry. Then came the flagship brand of FIO Restaurants in 2009. The common factor being an emphasis on quality experiences & great food in all. All the brands, from catering to restaurants have now mastered the art of their respective cuisine amongst others, and are well-renowned in Delhi.
Speaking on the launch of Charcha Gully, Mr Vineet Wadhwa says “We are very excited to launch Charcha Gully and this unique concept of highlighting the marriage of flavours to our consumers. The brand is very close to my heart, being an extension of my childhood intertwined closely with tales of my food and travel experiences as I grew up. My vision is to take this to contemporary Indian cafes, where the ‘Charcha’ will get started about all the ‘Gullys’ that inspired our concept.
