“People can go to any of our Satya Restaurant branches such as in the city, Mt Eden, Sandringham and dine there with their family and friends or get a takeaway packed,” he added.

“We have been in the business for 20 years, and we look for such opportunities where we can give back and serve the community,” Kumesh Kunala told The Indian Weekender.
