Dabba is inspired by a beloved restaurant known as Avatar's, an institution in Marin County, California. Brother and sister owners Ashok and Kala have been delighting loyal fans with their bold, fresh "Marin-dian" cooking and "Trust me, you'll love it" adventurous spirit since opening their doors in 1989. It was one of those loyal fans, a social entrepreneur named Andy Mercy, who came up with the idea of sharing their crave-worthy and good-for-you cooking with people outside of Marin. With the Avatar team on board, Andy enlisted the talents of Michelin-rated Chef Walter Abrams, branded a food truck with a surfing elephant, and set about nourishing and enriching the world with ridiculously good and healthy food. The name Dabba (Hindi for "lunchbox") was inspired by a complex food delivery system in Mumbai that is run by a network of delivery men called "Dabbawalas." For over a century, they have been ferrying dabbas filled with hot, home-cooked lunches from kitchens to customers.
