Piquant

About the Business

Piquant, situated at House 189/2, Behind Tisa Medicos, Saikia Enclave, is rapidly establishing itself as a distinctive culinary and retail destination in the heart of Assam. More than just a shop or eatery, Piquant aims to be a vibrant hub where local flavors meet curated goods, offering a unique and memorable experience for residents and visitors alike. In a region known for its rich cultural heritage and burgeoning entrepreneurial spirit, Piquant seeks to contribute to the local economy by supporting local artisans and providing a platform for authentic Assamese products and culinary creations. Our focus on quality, authenticity, and community engagement sets us apart, making Piquant a welcome addition to the Saikia Enclave neighborhood and the broader Assam business landscape.

At the heart of Piquant lies a dual offering: a carefully curated selection of artisanal products and a delectable range of locally inspired culinary treats. Our retail section showcases the talent and craftsmanship of local artisans, featuring handcrafted textiles, traditional Assamese crafts, organic teas, locally sourced spices, and unique gift items. We prioritize products that embody the region's cultural heritage and are produced sustainably and ethically. The culinary arm of Piquant offers a modern twist on traditional Assamese cuisine. Our menu features reimagined classics using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, catering to both traditional palates and those seeking innovative flavors. Think flavorful jolpan with a contemporary presentation, aromatic masor tenga crafted with seasonal fish, and a variety of homemade sweets that celebrate the region's rich culinary history. What truly sets Piquant apart is our commitment to providing a holistic experience. We don’t just sell products or serve food; we offer a story, a connection to the land, and a taste of Assam's soul. This approach effectively addresses the local market's desire for authentic experiences and high-quality, locally sourced goods and food.

Customer experience is paramount at Piquant. From the moment a customer steps through our doors, they are greeted with warm hospitality and personalized attention. Our staff is knowledgeable about our products and passionate about sharing the stories behind them. We strive to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where customers feel valued and appreciated. We actively engage with the local community through various initiatives, such as hosting workshops featuring local artisans, organizing food festivals showcasing regional cuisine, and participating in local events. We believe in building strong relationships with our customers, treating them as neighbors and friends. This personalized approach extends to our online presence, where we actively engage with our followers on social media, responding promptly to inquiries and providing helpful information about our products and services. We regularly seek feedback from our customers to continuously improve our offerings and ensure that we are meeting their needs. Our dedication to exceptional customer service and community engagement has helped us build a loyal customer base and establish Piquant as a trusted and respected member of the Saikia Enclave community.

Piquant envisions a future where it becomes a leading ambassador for Assamese culture and craftsmanship. Our long-term goal is to expand our reach, both within Assam and beyond, while remaining true to our core values of quality, authenticity, and community engagement. We plan to achieve this by expanding our retail offerings to include a wider range of artisanal products from across the region, further refining our culinary menu to showcase the diversity of Assamese cuisine, and developing strategic partnerships with local businesses and organizations. We are also exploring opportunities to establish an online presence to reach a wider audience and facilitate the sale of our products to customers both nationally and internationally. Another key aspect of our future vision is to empower local artisans and entrepreneurs by providing them with training and resources to help them grow their businesses. We believe that by supporting the local economy and fostering a culture of innovation, we can contribute to the sustainable development of the region. Piquant aspires to become more than just a business; we strive to be a cultural institution, a community gathering place, and a catalyst for positive change in Assam.
