My culinary journey began in 2011 in Goa, India, followed by a Bachelor's degree in Hotel & Hospitality. I started as a commis chef in India and expanded my experience on cruise lines including Royal Caribbean and Viking. In Budapest, I grew into leadership roles: CDP at Levante, Junior Sous Chef at Jamie Oliver's Italian, and Chef at Dorothea Hotel – Bibo Budapest.

Since 2025, I have served as Sous Chef at Damas Budapest, focusing on Middle Eastern cuisine. I currently cook with the Costes Group—Budapest's first Michelin-starred establishment—as a sous chef at Vibe Budapest. I bring this international perspective to private dining, delivering polished flavors and warm hospitality.

For me, cooking is more than just preparing food—it is a passion, a craft, and a way of connecting with people. Every dish tells a story.

What makes my cuisine unique

I cook to connect

Cooking is more than preparing food for me—it is a passion, a craft, and a way to connect with people. Every dish I serve tells a story and invites conversation at the table.

I grew through diverse kitchens

I learned to cook in Goa, India, and studied hospitality in West Bengal. I started as a commis chef, then advanced through cruise ships and European kitchens, shaping a precise yet warm cooking style.

I cook with heart

My secret in the kitchen is cooking with heart—balancing creativity, discipline, and teamwork. I believe passion and love for food turn simple ingredients into memorable experiences.
