At the time their vision was modest: to create an inviting setting on their London terrace where family and friends could sit around their new dining table to eat, drink, and enjoy an interactive dining experience.

Whenever the Piranis would entertain on their Covent Garden terrace, the one common refrain they heard over and over was that the table belonged in the United State. Sensing an opportunity, they contacted Anthony Groves, the brilliant English designer who sold them their original table, and together they agreed to bring his ingenious invention across the pond. Today, the Angara table, based on Anthony’s original design is available for families all over the world to experience and enjoy.

The transformative design of the Angara BBQ table has given rise to the term Social Grilling®, an experience similar to one folks in Asia have enjoyed for centuries around the Korean barbecue table or the Japanese around the Hibachi table.

Bringing the Angara to market in the United States attracted an impressive group of individuals who all recognized the opportunity in bringing families back to the dinner table. Our team of passionate entrepreneurs is excited to be a part of this project, not just because it makes good business sense, but because they truly believe the Angara has the ability to reconnect friends and families of all age groups.

Thanks to social grilling’s interactive experience, family members, both young and old, actually want to dine together, just like they used to before the dawn of the internet and the smartphone. Angara is the magnet for families to bond by sharing stories, jokes, laughter, and even tears. Nothing can replace the quality time families spend around the dinner table and now, thanks to the Angara, we all can relive those halcyon times again –– every day!
