“Uns is an Urdu word that means a lot of different things like love, beauty, infatuation. It captures the essence of this place. The language and the word, which is an amalgamation of different meanings, are in tune with what I want this place to be — an amalgamation of all forms of art, and not just food,” said Bodhisatwa Datta, owner, Uns Cafe & Dining.
