Swammy & Padma Akuthota started Satya in its original guise, with the premises at K Rd. This led to 3 other Satyas opening on Great North Rd, Mt Eden & Sandringham. With the success of Satya Chai Lounge attached to the Sandringham branch started by son Sammy, it's a blessing his parents have allowed the original Satya to morph into a Chai Lounge, and last week the neighbouring former barbershop opened as Satya Bar. Swamy, Padma & son have a social conscience, witness the Christmas Day feast provided free for the public and latterly free food during the power blackout in March. Personally, they remain loyal friends and never forget any help & encouragement you have given them. In times of adversity, it’s always a comfort to dine at Satya/Chai Lounge. A retired restaurant reviewer and Uncle had dahi puri, onion baji, curry flower and vege/egg fried rice. We adjourned to the bar next door. It was pumping. Our Sour Cherry Pie and Virgin Pina Colada were as delicious as the food at the Chai Lounge. #dahipuri #onionbaji #vegetableeggfriedrice #curryflower #pomegranatesoda #sourcherrypie #virginpinacolada #satyachailounge #satyabar #krd #instasatya @ajnswamy @satyanz (at Satya South Indian Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnP2Vt8hlEu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1moyk2s4pg4u1
