Our Founder - Smt. Anuradha Shrivastava

The Heart of Kalam Se Kadhai

At Kalam se Kadhai, every dish we serve carries a story of devotion, heritage, and decades of culinary mastery. Behind the stove is our founder and head chef, Smt. Anuradha Shrivastava - a mother born in 1963 who has spent a lifetime nurturing her family with unconditional love, warmth, and extraordinary food.

For over six decades, her kitchen has been her sanctuary and creative canvas. Cooking has never been just a daily routine for her; it is a lifelong passion. Her recipes are living heirlooms, carefully preserved and perfected through years of feeding loved ones, celebrating milestones, and bringing people together around the dining table.

In 2026, after a lifetime of pouring her heart into family meals, she decided it was time to take the plunge and share her culinary gift with the rest of the world. Thus, Kalam se Kadhai was born—a dream rooted in the timeless philosophy of bringing authentic home-cooked heritage into your home.

Her cooking is a tribute to the deep cultural roots of Bihar and the regal traditions of the Kayastha community. Whether it’s the rustic, wood-fired comfort of smoky litti chokha, the delicate aromatics of plant-based kebabs, or the slow-simmered, rich grandeur of heritage mutton curries, her signature recipes—both vegetarian and non-vegetarian—have long been legendary among friends, relatives, and neighbors.

Every spice blend is hand-crafted, every gravy is slow-cooked with patience, and every dish is prepared with the same uncompromised quality and warmth that she has offered her family for decades. Now, through Kalam se Kadhai, you too can experience the soulful flavors, rich history, and unbeatable taste of true motherly love infused into traditional Bihari and Kayastha cooking.

Welcome to our kitchen—where tradition is honored, passion is tasted, and every meal feels like coming home.
