Our Story
Desi Chef Was Born From One Simple Craving
What started as a student's struggle to find real homestyle North Indian food in Bengaluru is now a space where thalis are shared, budget meals bring comfort, and every bite carries the taste of home. Built with belief, served with soul — this is more than a kitchen.

Meet the Founder
Gourav Singhal — Founder & CEO
Desi Chef is the dream of Gourav Singhal, built on one simple belief: great food should taste like home — only grander. What began as a love for pure vegetarian desi flavours has grown into a kitchen serving everything from Punjabi thalis to street-style Indo-Chinese under one roof.
Gourav leads Desi Chef with a guest-first philosophy: fresh ingredients, honest pricing, and a menu that keeps evolving with what Bengaluru loves to eat. His promise is right there in the tagline — Desi Zaika, Dil Se: desi flavour, straight from the heart.
“The best compliment I get isn’t a five-star review — it’s when someone says a dish tasted like their mother’s cooking.”
— Gourav
