About The Twisted Indian
Lokesh Vale is the owner and founder of The Twisted Indian. Unsurprisingly, he has a solid culinary background.
Vale studied culinary arts in India and the states. No wonder why he was able to expertly curate a menu that highlights traditional Indian flavors while incorporating familiar ingredients and vessels.
Moreover, Vale’s journey began with The Twisted Indian Food Truck. It became wildly popular at St. Pete’s Saturday Morning Market. Consequently, Vale opened a pop-up shop in St. Pete’s ever-popular Baum Ave Market, but Vale had an even bigger vision in mind.
Ultimately, the ambitious entrepreneur opened a permanent physical location! The Twisted Indian brick-and-mortar made its debut on Grand Central Ave, Spring 2022.
