About Tagmo
TAGMO opened in September 2021 on Front Street in Downtown Manhattan, overlooking the cobblestone streets of the South Seaport district and the breezy East River esplanade of the Lower East Side. Circa the 1700s, ships once brought in spices from India’s farmlands to Manhattan’s shore. Today, those spices bring our food to life.
Initially founded as an Indian confectionery company in 2019 by Chef Surbhi Sahni, TAGMO is an evolution of her previous project, Bittersweet NYC. In the wake of the pandemic, Surbhi expanded TAGMO’s online mithai shop to deliver Indian regional homestyle meals to New Yorkers every week. The popularity of the meals opened the doors for Surbhi to bring her dream restaurant to life, helping fuel TAGMO for over two years. In January 2024, Surbhi pivoted TAGMO from a restaurant to focus on events, catering, and crafting mithai to ship across the USA.
Through it all, TAGMO continues to be a platform of support and collaboration with other brown, queer, local and women-led companies who share our ethos to make products that are delicious, sustainable, and make a difference in our world.
