About Private Chef Services
What I Bring to the Table
Food isn’t just something you eat, it’s an experience. I love cooking dishes that spark conversation and create real moments, whether it’s at your place or mine. My style mixes modern European techniques with Asian flavors - not your usual fusion, but something that feels fresh and memorable.
How It Works
You can choose to host a private dinner in your own home, where I’ll show up with my crew and turn your familiar space into a fine-dining spot. Or, you can book a table at my residence in Bangalore for a proper chef’s table vibe. Either way, expect the whole setup - fancy tableware, good glassware, and music that lifts the mood.
The Food
Every event gets a bespoke tasting menu experience, usually five courses, each dish plated up with a bit of drama and a story. I talk you and your guests through the menu, sharing what goes into each plate and why it’s there. I pay as much attention to custom vegetarian tasting menus as I do to the non-veg stuff. Think duck cured in five spice, salmon tartare, or my favorite mushroom creations.
Who It’s For
Perfect for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family get-togethers, or just an exclusive dinner with your closest people. If you want something intimate that feels special, this is it.

My Story
Food isn’t just food for me. It’s about feeding folks, bringing people together, sharing stories over a table. After cooking all over, I landed in Bangalore wanting to do things differently. My crew and I? We’re all heart. We bring soulful flavors, music, and a vibe that feels like home. Whether it’s a supper club or a pop-up, it’s not just eating—it’s memories, laughter, and that feeling you only get when the food hits right.
My Work
Bespoke Dining Experiences - We host private chef events, pop-up dinners, and soulful supper clubs for celebrations or just because.
Modern European & Asian Cuisine - Our menus mix classical techniques with global inspiration—think handcrafted pasta, pâté en croute, ballotine of fish.
Experience-Based Events - It’s more than eating—stories, music, and a vibe. Every dinner is crafted to feel personal and unforgettable.
Menus for All - Veg or non-veg, we put the same love into every plate. Surprising flavors, lots of creativity.
