Patriarch and guide. Three decades in Kolkata business set the family's hospitality vision. He still tastes every new menu before it opens to the city — and the answer is always 'a little more salt'.
The Family · Kolkata
We don't run a chain. We run a small group of distinct restaurants that share a kitchen philosophy and a sourcing standard.

Oversees food, beverage and partnerships across the group — from sourcing and the wine list to the chai flight at Chaat & Chai Social and the producers behind every plate.

Whoever walks in is fed, properly and sent home a little fuller than when they came.
Craft
Seasonal, ingredient-led kitchens. Slow when it has to be. Generous, always.
