Positivity & Passion

A chat with one of the names behind a whole host of our readers’ favourite HK restaurants.

Last month marked 25 years since SANDIP GUPTA arrived in Hong Kong from India, where he’d just taken his first steps in a hospitality career at the Hyatt Regency New Delhi. Since then, he has worked together with fellow Indian restaurateur Sandeep Sekhri at the very forefront of the industry in HK – first with Dining Concepts, and today as founder of a new brand, S&S Hospitality. We sat down with Sandip for a delicious lunch at SPIGA and a chat about his work.

Tell us a bit about S&S. What do you hope to achieve?

At S&S, we aim to create boutique dining experiences. We want to amaze and exceed guest expectations with a sincerity of purpose, ingenuity and love for what we do – the idea is to stay consistent to our roots while adding value to Hong Kong’s vibrant dining scene. All the restaurants in our stable have a story to tell – they did at Dining Concepts, when we had over 30 restaurants, and they do at S&S.

What are some of those restaurants and bars?
