Today we’d like to introduce you to Archna Becker.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Archna. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Archna started Bhojanic as a catering company in June 2000. After her catering success, in 2003, Archna opened Bhojanic, a full service restaurant that offers authenic home-style Indian menu items that can be ordered as full meals or as individual tapas-style small plates. After a decade at the decatur location, Archna opened Buckhead location in 2013 which and is turning five this year.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Thankfully, guests always enjoyed our food and ambiance. We grew as a company each year. With that growth comes the challenge of human capital. Those would be the biggest struggles over the years. Having the right type of people for all the positions would be the most challenging part of business.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Bhojanic – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We serve home style North Indian cuisine in a relaxed and modern environment. Our recipes, procedures, and menus, have been handed down for four generations. By using the freshest produce and meats and freshly roasted and ground spices, we provide a glimpse into Punjabi cuisine. We showcase the lighter side of this cuisine by not adding unnecessary cream and butter to all of our dishes. Our food is layered with flavor and has a balance of spice, heat, salt, tart and sweet. North Indian home style food is also full of vegan, gluten free, light and flavorful dishes.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Future plans are to nurture the businesses we have currently. We have a full service restaurant in Buckhead, two quick serve locations at Ga Tech and Emory University, a commissary kitchen, full service catering and a food truck. We are launching new menus at all the locations in early 2018.
