Known for his precision, elegance, and mastery of flavor, he made history as the first Indian chef to win a Michelin star within one year of opening his debut restaurant, Jamavar in London.

Originally from Punjab, India, Rohit’s culinary journey spans over two decades and includes prestigious tenures at legendary kitchens such as Benares, Trishna, Gymkhana, and Hoppers. His distinct approach lies in marrying classic Indian recipes with contemporary techniques, presenting Indian cuisine with the finesse and structure of fine European dining.

Following his success with Jamavar, Rohit went on to launch celebrated restaurants like Kutir, MAYA, and Manthan*each showcasing a different lens on Indian culinary heritage, with deep regional influences, nuanced plating, and innovative textures. These restaurants have not only won critical acclaim but also solidified his status as one of the UK’s most respected Indian chefs.

Beyond the kitchen, Rohit is a published author with his cookbook Tarkari, which explores the depth and diversity of Indian vegetarian cuisine. He is a mentor, a speaker at global culinary events, and a passionate advocate for elevating Indian food on the world stage.
