Meet Our Chef

My love for Kerala cuisine began in my mother’s kitchen, where I first discovered the magic of spices and flavors. I refined my craft in a 5-star hotel, mastering the basics and learning the balance between tradition and innovation. Each experience has deepened my respect for ingredients and strengthened my belief that every dish should tell a story.
