Where Spices Told Stories and Ambition Set the Course

It all started with a spark of curiosity! A quiet love for culinary art growing alongside the structured world of engineering. But as it is said, some passions refuse to stay in the background. Meet Mayur Thakkar, the heart and soul behind FridayCravings.

His journey wasn’t just about cooking, it was about discovery, creation, and connection. What began as an exploration soon turned into an undeniable passion, one that shaped his path, defied expectations, and ultimately became his profession.

Today, FridayCravings stands as a testament to that journey, a place where flavors tell stories, traditions find new life, and every dish carries the essence of a dream that refused to fade.

What started as a humble fast-food stall on the roadside in 2012, has now grown into something that led to the birth of Mayur’s Cloud Kitchen, nestled within One Hiranandani Park, a place where flavors found a home and stories were told through every dish. It was never just about cooking, it was about creating experiences, sharing stories, and bringing people together through food. Flavors of India, Served with a Story.

FridayCravings isn’t just about food – it’s a canvas of flavors, a tapestry of traditions woven into every bite. Here, the crisp Rajasthani papad crackles like stories shared over chai, the bold Bengali mustard carries whispers of heritage, and Kashmiri saffron lingers like a distant memory. Side by side, the fiery Ghee Podi Idli of Munnar and Thekkady ignites the senses, completing a culinary mosaic where every dish is a chapter, every spice a storyteller.

Raised on the aroma of slow-cooked dals and the rhythm of spice-grinding mortars, Mayur was always drawn to flavors over formulas, cuisine over concepts, kitchens over classrooms. While his peers engineered their careers, he slowly roasted his culinary dreams.
