Meet the chef Georgetown local Manikiran Karaka is the owner and head chef behind Raa Mawa Desi Fusion, which opened in December 2023. Karaka was inspired by his family’s business in India and the food he grew up with. “When I was a kid, we used to eat a lot of street food outside,” Karaka said. “Most Indian people, they like to have street [food].” What’s on the menu Karaka traveled across India in his childhood, trying many styles of street food. He curated the menu to include dishes from north and south India alike. This includes northern-style chaats, and dosas, which are southern-style savory crepes. “My favorite [is] chole bhature,” Karaka said, talking about a popular north Indian dish of deep- fried pu ed bread and chickpea curry. “Usually, I make it every day. Most of our customers love that.” The food truck also o ers traditional Indian refreshments, such as mango lassi, which is a sweet yogurt drink, and desserts like gulab jamun, made of milk cheese balls in an aromatic syrup. Stay tuned The Raa Mawa team is opening a brick-and-mor- tar restaurant near its current location next year. In addition to serving made-to-order dishes, the new location will also have a meat and grocery store.
