HOW IT ALL STARTED
"Where Tradition meets Innovation, and cultural celebration is at the heart of everything we do"
We are the DILMIL duo :) ( Daughter-In-Law & Mother-In-Law). I'm Aiswarya ( the one to your right ) and that's Sushila ( Aai as I call her) . What started as a spark of passion with my love for food and specifically my MIL's food is what created Namkeen Queens
Namkeen Queens is not just a brand—it’s a tribute to the rich culinary legacy of my mother-in-law. Her cooking skills and authentic recipes are at the heart of our mission. A remarkable woman who moved from a small village in Kolhapur to Mumbai , she embodies incredible culinary talent and is the MasterChef of our family. As someone who loves to eat but doesn’t cook as much, I’m committed to preserving and sharing her culinary magic with the world, turning traditional Marathi flavors into a global sensation.
Driven by a deep love for our heritage and a desire to foster cultural exchange, I set out to bring the essence of homemade Marathi snacks from India to the US. Each snack we offer is a tribute to the generations of culinary wisdom passed down through families, crafted with genuine care and affection.
At Namkeen Queens, our commitment to authenticity goes beyond just flavors. As a proudly women-owned business, we are dedicated to empowering women within our community and beyond. We believe in the power of natural ingredients, ensuring that every bite transports you to a world of unforgettable taste sensations.
