Bandra bylanes to Hindustan Park — West meets East.
A little over a week ago, we hosted our first collaboration at Rannaghor.
@greshamfernandes chef partner at
@bandraborn and
@mshetty78 head chef, brought their Bandra energy straight to our kitchen, where they worked alongside our head chefs
@avinandankundu and
@koyelchef to blend the flavours, ingredients, and techniques of the two coastlines.
Chef Manoj, the calm to Chef Gresham’s storm — the two made for a natural pair. The night moved between fun and thoughtful: from Chef Gresham’s story of eating 24 egg yolks at a Christmas party (and what followed) to learnings about fermentation. And because no service led by Chef Gresham is complete without his alter ego, Plan B set the music for the room. In many ways, the dinner was a tribute to the fish-eating cultures of the West and East Coasts, an attempt to find what they share and celebrate what makes each distinct. Across both nights, the chefs worked as one team, trading knowledge, ideas, and instincts, letting the best of both worlds find its way to our guests. Swipe to see snippets from the night, and hear the chefs talk about their Calcutta visit.
The evenings were made even more special by a thoughtful wine selection from
@groverzampa and the collab made possible by the continued support of our long-term friends
