Chef Manu Chandra’s classical European restaurant LUPA in Bengaluru finds a spot in La Liste, a French restaurant guide's 'Top 1000 Restaurants in the World' for 2024, and recently won a 4 Ultimate Stars at the Ultimate Restaurant Ratings 2024 by Culinary Culture, a global movement.
Bangkok-based Chef Deepanker Khosla runs Haoma, Thailand’s only sustainable restaurant and Asia’s finest, going by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants ranking.
The menu includes begun bhaja, fried cubes of eggplant with kasundi sauce that is a staple of Bengali homes, and fried pomfret, a fish that Pandya used to eat as bar food with co-workers after hours in Mumbai. There’s also macher jhol, the baby-shark curry that Mazumdar would ask his mother not to send to him in college care packages for fear that the smell would embarrass him in his dorm.
