Neal Idnani, co-founder and CEO, and Samir Idnani, co-founder and CFO, NaanStop

Brothers Neal Idnani and Samir Idnani had a longtime dream of creating a restaurant that would make Indian food more accessible to an American audience. Since 2012, they’ve been doing just that with their NaanStop restaurant concept. NaanStop serves fresh, authentic, and approachable Indian cuisine made from their mother’s recipes in a modern, fast-casual setting. They currently have a trio of popular Atlanta-area locations (Downtown, Atlantic Station, and Buckhead) with more to come. They share an array of colorful adventures and experiences they’ve had along the way, their calculated approach to growth, their franchise plans, and more.
