The Journey of Flavor
From a single outlet in Karnataka to a nationwide vegetarian BBQ movement — here's how we got here.
Born on the streets.
Built for every table.
What began in the heart of Karnataka in June 2023 with a singular passion for bold, smoky street food has rapidly evolved into a nationwide culinary movement. As Smoked BBQ Taxi grew to over 200+ in 9 states, we realized our signature flavors needed to be accessible to everyone — without compromise.
This inspired our most exciting evolution yet. Listening to the diverse dietary preferences of our customers, we launched our first-ever Pure Veg branch in Ahmedabad in February 2025. The overwhelming response proved that the magic of authentic, smoke-infused BBQ isn't just for meat lovers.
Today, this platform is dedicated to expanding our highly successful Pure Vegetarian franchise model — taking our traditional smoking techniques, modern localized tastes, and handpicked ingredients to food lovers and entrepreneurs across India.
What we stand for
To serve meticulously crafted, high-quality vegetarian BBQ using handpicked ingredients, while creating a welcoming street-style dining experience that satisfies every craving.
To be India's most loved and accessible BBQ brand — continuously innovating our menu to celebrate diverse palates while empowering entrepreneurs across the nation through our pure veg franchise opportunities.
The principles behind the smoke
From the freshest handpicked ingredients to our expert smoking techniques, we never cut corners on flavor.
We capture the energy, warmth, and bold tastes of street food — elevated with hygienic and modern preparation.
By launching our dedicated pure vegetarian model, we continuously evolve to serve communities better and break new culinary ground.
We aren't just building a restaurant chain — we are building a family of passionate food lovers and business owners across India.
Every stop on our journey
