Our Story

A Tribute to Sati

They say that food is the greatest testament to love - never dying, never unrequited. 

Satya tells a modern-day love saga rooted in India. We draw inspiration from our family recipes, so future generations can enjoy explosive Indian flavors and confidently reinvent their culinary experiences. Satya is an extraordinary tale of upholding traditions, while cultural boundaries melt away. It is our tribute to a remarkable individual, Sati, whose pride in Indian heritage, culinary expertise, and belief in quintessential Indian hospitality served as an inspiration for her daughter, Anita, and granddaughter, Rama.

With Satya, we pay homage to Sati’s legacy through an exquisite range of Indian spice blends that are versatile enough to enhance global cuisines and transcend cultural boundaries. Our blends do not discriminate; they make all cuisines delicious. Satya embodies love and longing, entwining traditions with modern circumstances. The result is bombastic flavors to liven up meals for busy people who want to experience happiness with every bite.

Chef Anita

I was raised in Mumbai, India and, after marrying my husband, we moved to Puerto Rico, where we raised our three children, and later to New Jersey.

Just as I learned about our culture, heritage, and cuisine from my own mother and grandmother in India, I enjoyed sharing those things with Rama and her siblings as we laughed, shared, and cooked. Together, we explored the tastes, techniques, and textures of different cuisines, which we’ve integrated into a unique fusion of flavors.

Watching Rama grow and evolve as a chef has been a great joy in my life, and her career inspired me to pursue my own lifelong interests around food and health, including becoming a health coach and certified plant-based chef.

Chef Rama

In Indian culture, food and family are two of our biggest obsessions, and even though I spent my formative years in Puerto Rico, my Indian-born parents continued this tradition with me and my siblings.

Cooking – both the practice of and the eating of food – was a core part of my childhood. My happiest memories are in the kitchen with my mother, chopping, mixing, and soaking in our heritage, ancestors, and culture.

As I began my career as a chef, the reality of our overscheduled society began to sink in. I saw my friends, patrons, and clients relying on drive-thrus and freezer meals to feed their families. The nutritional impact was worrisome enough – but the familial, relational, and cultural implications were even more so.
