About this listen
Avish Naran, founder of L.A.'s cult-favorite Indian sports bar Pijja Palace, joins Industry Only at The Cheese Store for one episode in two locations.
First, a live taping from Pijja Palace, the restaurant where it all began, followed by a basement hang in the tasting room of The Cheese Store, as is tradition.In part one, Avish talks about building a restaurant that seemed too weird to succeed—a place where malai rigatoni meets Lakers jerseys and tandoori wings come with curry leaf ranch.
Then, in part two, Avish dives into immigrant hustle, cultural context, and why it's essential to "never stop saying the word 'millions.'"
Also: The fake tandoor that tastes better than the real thing, plans for the new Schezwan Club opening next door, and why neighborhood councils might not always get your genius restaurant name.
