Expertise
Vineet trained as a chef at Mumbai's prestigious Oberoi Hotel before immigrating to the UK. At Zaika, in London's Kensington he became Europe's first chef of Indian Cuisine to be awarded a Michelin star. Vineet believes in maintaining an authenticity in his Indian Cuisine. Nevertheless, he is always looking to progress his cooking by creating subtle and intelligent dishes, borrowing from European techniques or marrying age-old Indian methods with foreign flavors and ingredients. Rasoi in Chelsea was Vineet's first solo venture and since opening in 2004 he has grown from strength to strength, winning Michelin acclaim at his restaurants in London and Geneva. In a consultative capacity Vineet has restaurants in Mauritius, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Mumbai.
