Journey Through The Coast
The best way to explore India is through its coastal culinary treasures. In Malvan, the spicy, tangy flavors of Malvani Masala capture the essence of this vibrant region. Meanwhile, Goa’s delicious Prawn Curry showcases the rich, bold flavors of the coast. The succulent Prawn Gassi of Mangalore traces its origins back to the traditional kitchens of coastal Karnataka. These and countless other food stories can be found along India’s vast coastline. Each regional delicacy is a local icon, but often out of reach for everyone else.
We asked ourselves, why should these coastal culinary gems be limited by geography, when there is an irresistible treasure trove just waiting to be savored? At Coast & Co., we believe the best way to explore India is through its food, and we’re here to take you on an adventure.
Join us and discover the coastal food treasures of India, one delicacy at a time.

Our Story
In the early 1980s, Chetan’s father opened a small pav bhaji restaurant on JM Road in Pune, which quickly became a beloved local spot. Building on this success, he later opened Janjira, a seafood restaurant that developed a loyal following. Some of Chetan’s fondest childhood memories include accompanying his father to Bhaucha Dhakka fish market and exploring the bustling streets of the fisherman’s wharf in pursuit of the freshest catch. Chetan also loved savoring his mother’s fish curry and biryani during holidays. These early experiences ignited Chetan’s passion for coastal cuisine. After understanding and working closely in the restaurant industry for about 15 years, Chetan developed a deep love for curating new dishes and serving delicious food, passionately driven by the satisfying smiles on customers’ faces.
After Chetan married Pooja, she found herself drawn to the unique and flavorful food at Janjira. Despite her background in interior designing and her eye for detail, it was this culinary discovery that truly captivated her. The distinct flavors and richness of the dishes sparked her deep appreciation for coastal cuisine. For experiencing new cultures, Chetan and Pooja share their love and passion for traveling. Their journeys allowed them to sample a variety of regional cuisines, but they often found themselves longing for the familiar, vibrant flavors of coastal dishes they had grown to love. This shared craving for authentic coastal cuisine became a central part of their travels, driving them to seek out and savor each new culinary experience.
The couple loves cooking together whenever family gathers or guests are invited. They enjoy creating different dishes, always adding their own special twist to each recipe. Cooking not only brings them closer but also keeps their cherished traditions alive. For them, every meal is a celebration of love, culture, and the joy of sharing good food with others, making it the heart of their journey.
Love and Warmth,

Recognizing that we couldn’t be everywhere physically, we decided to bring the flavors of the coast directly to people’s kitchens. Thus, Coast and Co was born.
At Coast and Co, we are dedicated to developing region-specific coastal masalas that capture the essence of coastal cuisine.
