Sigri Indian BBQ Brings Bold Flavors to Brooklyn
Craveworthy Brands' Sigri Indian BBQ is excited to announce its expansion into Brooklyn, New York, marking a significant milestone in its journey to introduce authentic North Indian barbecue to new audiences. Following a recent franchise agreement, the Brooklyn location is slated to open in late 2026, joining the growing presence of this distinctive dining concept in the Northeast.
Originally conceived in New Jersey, Sigri Indian BBQ has quickly become a national sensation thanks to its unique selling point: open-flame grilling. Customers are drawn to the rich smoky flavors and vibrant spices that characterize North Indian cuisine. This expansion symbolizes Sigri's objective to broaden its reach while staying true to its roots and maintaining high culinary standards.
The Vision Behind Expansion
The driving force behind this franchise agreement is Tagur Gautham, an enthusiastic restaurateur with a background in Indian hospitality. Gautham's journey began in Kansas, where he helped launch a family restaurant before relocating to New York in 2019. After experiencing Sigri's offerings firsthand, he was inspired to introduce this flavorful concept to Brooklyn's diverse community. "I knew immediately that Sigri would resonate in Brooklyn, a borough known for its love of authentic and diverse food experiences," Gautham expressed.
With a population exceeding 2.7 million and a rich cultural tapestry, Brooklyn is known for embracing flavors from around the world. The community's eagerness to explore different culinary experiences presents the perfect backdrop for Sigri's unique barbecue style. Gautham's excitement for this venture echoes his commitment to delivering bold flavors and an unforgettable dining experience to his new neighbors.
Charting a Path of Growth
Sigri Indian BBQ's latest development in Brooklyn builds upon the brand's positive momentum across the United States. After launching its national franchise program late last year, Sigri has signed multi-unit agreements in the Chicago area while also securing a new franchise in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Samuel Stanovich, the company’s SVP of Franchise Leadership, noted, "As we grow our footprint, the Northeast will become crucial to our brand's expansion. Our food tells a story rich with history and tradition, and passionate franchisees like Tagur are essential to sharing that story with community members."
A New Dining Experience
Sigri redefines quick-service dining by offering an authentic take on North Indian cuisine, reminiscent of India’s roadside 'dhabas.' Each dish is prepared with care using centuries-old open-flame cooking techniques that impart warmth and depth of flavor, setting Sigri apart in today's fast-paced culinary landscape.
Franchising with Sigri is designed for enthusiastic owner-operators supported by Craveworthy Brands' comprehensive operational ecosystem. This support encompasses marketing, training, supply chain management, and real estate, providing franchisees with the tools needed to scale confidently while showcasing authentic North Indian cuisine in their neighborhoods.
Commitment to Authenticity
At the core of Sigri Indian BBQ's philosophy lies a commitment to authenticity. Founded by entrepreneur Jagat Parikh, Sigri aims to fill the gap in diverse culinary options available in local communities. With Chef Aarthi's guidance, known for her innovative takes on traditional Indian dishes, Sigri is on a mission to bring the rich flavors of North India to the forefront. Fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes ensure each guest enjoys a memorable dining journey.
