Chef Saurav Nath’s CV reads like an illustrious list of the Indian restaurant scene. He started his career with India’s famed Taj hotel group and having become well-versed with European cooking at the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi, Nath’s subsequent work on the UK’s Indian restaurant sector has always been ascending.
From the likes of the three AA Rosette winning Three Monkeys, Nath received further praise for his cooking as a chef at Masterchef Atul Kocchar’s Michelin-starred Benares, before being appointed by Kocchar as the Head Chef at his Colony restaurant in London’s fashionable Marylebone.
Thereafter, Nath was a chef at arguably London’s finest Indian restaurant, the Michelin-starred Gymkhana, in Mayfair. Currently, he is the Head Chef of the modern Indian restaurant Tapasya in Hull. Nath has also held many other posts as an award-winning Head Chef, cooked around the world – from Europe to the Emirates and the Far East, including for the Sultan of Brunei, as well as worked on pop-up restaurants with such iconic, culinary giants as Pierre Koffman and Eric Chavot.
At his Supperclub, introduced by his friend and industry consultant and practitioner, Humayun Hussain, Nath brings his considerable knowledge of Indian cooking and marries it with the skill and intricacies of molecular gastronomy…
