Sheermal, Tabak Maz and Nalli Nihari at rāga | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement The flamboyant Kolkata-born drummer-turned-chef-turned-culinary rock star is finally bringing his irreverent spin on flavour to Delhi with rāga. His eponymous restaurant in Bangkok was recently named the second best in the world by the influential The 50 List, behind Asador Etxebarri in Spain .

His India debut is in partnership with Zorawar Kalra, the founder and managing director of Massive Restaurants. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant oozes attitude. Set in swanky Janpath, it occupies what used to its heavy doors open into a cathedral-like foyer dominated by stained-glass windows.

A list of ‘house rules’ are handed to guests as they enter: phones on silent, one smoke break (if you must), and remember, ‘this is not dinner and a dash’. It is peak Gaggan: his kitchen, his rules and lick the plate when you are told to.

Then, you meet Rydo Anton, the ‘Ra’ in the equation, and realise why the restaurant has a different, quieter energy from Gaggan in Bangkok. The young, calm chef is putting his own mark on the space, working alongside his mentor to create something fresh. “When Gaggan told me we would be opening in India, I said, ‘Okay.

It is just you’.“ Rydo chuckles and adds, “He knows I like challenges.”.
