What do we do?
Our Mission, Values and Motto
I believe in living in the moment. Everybody deserves a taste of epicurean luxury for their palate. An attitude for gratitude is the secret ingredient that makes a dish amazing. What I bring to the table is not just taste, decadence or bon vivant. It’s…………Whatever Makes Your Heart and Soul Sing. Our services
Born and raised in a conservative family of lawyers and judges, Chef Ananya not only had to curb her passion for cooking but had to keep practising a profession she did not have a heart to do. But passion so profound always overcomes every hurdle and so did Ananya.
