Join us in celebrating this exciting new beer we’re introducing in 16oz cans and on draught - Dock Street Shikanji Gose, a beer inspired by the refreshing Indian citrusy drink of the same name.

SHIKANJI: An refreshing Indian drink made with lime or lemon plus spices like salt, pepper, coriander, saffron and cumin.

We’re complementing the beer with Coastal Indian specialities by woman-led, Philly-based team Aaji’s. Enjoy your Dock Street Shikanji Gose alongside a special app and pizza featuring ingredients from Aaji’s, and the folks from Aaji’s will be popping up on- site as well, so you’ll have a chance to purchase some of their Lonsa and their new Chum Chum seasoning to take home directly from this awesome, family run team!

AAJI: Marathi for Grandmother.

ABOUT AAJI’S

AAJI’S is a women led family venture that launched in Philadelphia in July 2021. It is Aaji (the mother/grandmother of our family) and her daughter-in-law that are the leaders of our brand and mission to demonstrate love through the food we serve and the good we do.

Our family’s food from Coastal Indian traditions passed down from our Aajis has been the centerpiece of love and comfort both in times of joy and healing for our family over the years.

It is our desire to deliver this same love and comfort more broadly by adding flavor, warmth and color to your any meal through AAJI’S Foods.

ABOUT AAJI’S LONSA

AAJI’S Tomato Lonsa (loan-sah) is a flavorful tomato-based topping or base ingredient that celebrates sweet, tart, spicy, and umami tastes all in one.

Tomatoes are the centerpiece of AAJI’S Tomato Lonsa, our first product.

In fact, each 8 oz. container of Tomato Lonsa contains more than 1 lb. of tomatoes!

While Tomato Lonsa is native to the Coastal Indian state of Maharashtra and has many different variations, our Aaji’s recipe lovingly simmers tomatoes with our family’s distinct blend of spices to create a unique balance of flavors. AAJI’S Tomato Lonsa comprises 5 spices (turmeric, asafoetida, fenugreek, mustard seeds, cayenne) in addition to chili peppers, curry leaves, salt and jaggery. The very special proportion of spices and how they are incorporated into the cooking process help deliver our Lonsa's rich and unique flavor.
