A cook, first. A chef, always. A student of flavour, forever.
My name is Manoj Kumar. I grew up watching food carry meaning — a whisper of cardamom in morning chai, the crackle of mustard seeds signalling that the day had truly begun. Cooking was never a career choice as much as a return to something I already loved.
I formalised that love with a degree in Culinary Management in Malaysia, then spent three formative years in Dubai as Demi Chef de Partie — learning what precision, volume, and consistency really mean under fire. For the last three years, I've called Austria home and the head-chef pass mine.
The kitchen I run today is small on ego and long on discipline. Indian soul, European technique, ingredients that speak first. Whether you're sitting at a private table or receiving a delivery bag at your door, the same quiet standards apply.

How I run the pass.
Ingredient First
Menus start with the season and the market — never the trend.
Discipline & Warmth
Michelin discipline in every station; genuine warmth on every plate.
Respect the Roots
Traditional Indian technique treated as heritage, not garnish.
Guest Above All
The room, the timing, the temperature — everything serves the guest.
