Bellevue, WALocal News

MokSHA, a restaurant founded by Tom Thanu, aims to transform the Indian dining experience in Bellevue by prioritizing health and authenticity. As a recent immigrant and Microsoft employee, Tom recognized a lack of genuine Indian cuisine that resonated with his upbringing in southern India. He emphasizes the medicinal properties of spices like ginger and turmeric while crafting a menu that caters to diverse dietary needs. By preparing sauces from scratch without dairy, MokSHA stands out from typical Indian eateries that often use standardized recipes. Tom's commitment to community extends to charitable initiatives, providing meals to healthcare workers and supporting underprivileged families in India.

The restaurant has received heartfelt messages from customers, reinforcing the positive impact of its mission. To promote healthier eating habits, MokSHA offers a 20% discount on take-out orders, making it easier for busy individuals to choose nutritious options.
