Founded by Rohit Srivastava, four years ago, this basically begun as a Facebook page where food lovers from Twin City shared their passion of food and uploaded pictures of delicious dishes and mouth-watering snacks that they were treating themselves to.

Today, they have graduated to a group that conducts food “raids” where an invitation is sent out to all the members of the group for a get-together at a chosen restaurant on a particular day. On the D-day a delectable variety of cuisines is ordered and tasted, that includes starters, the main course and finally, desserts.

“When I create events called food raids, a public event is created on the Facbook page and I send invites to people. I make the arrangements as per the confirmations I receive. On an average we get around 25-30 members in each raid, ” said Rohit, who himself tries out different recipes at home and puts it up on Facebook, complete with videos.
