Fresh off retaining their Michelin star in 2024, CHAAT’s newly appointed chef, Gaurav Kuthari, is reviving the restaurant’s á-la-carte menu with flavours from India’s spice-rich mainland.
The chef’s new dishes include palak patte ke chaat (HKD128), a popular street food blending batter-fried spinach with mint chutney, tamarind, and yoghurt, badami chicken tikka (HKD268), an almond chicken tikka snappy to taste with black pepper, and the classic lamb rogan josh (HKD398), bursting to life with Kashmiri chilli and ratan jot.
A special for chef Gaurav, the burrata corn palak (HKD178) brings a touch of Italy to the Indian spinach dish, adding texture and spice with crispy corn and cumin.
Trained at India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, Gaurav worked for Lemon Tree Hotels in Ghaziabad, India, followed by a stint as chef trainee for restaurants Monsoon and Pakwan at Le Méridien in New Delhi. He joined CHAAT in 2020 as sous-chef.
