From the Roots VILLAGE DEGH

Do you like going back to roots, to under the true flavours of foods that are now cooked in oven and gas stoves? If yes, food entrepreneur Osama Jalali and his partner Sameer Dhar are here to take you through a unique experience called Village Degh, which brings a taste of food as it used to be made traditionally on woodfire ovens decades back.

Osama Jalali has been working on reviving ancient culinary arts and techniques for more than a decade now and his latest venture which is set up in a one-acre farm in Gurugram is surely a treat for all the food lovers.

When it comes to any successful business venture, the art of balancing becomes inevitable and with Village Degh it is balanced with care by Osama and Sameer. Osama states, “While I look after all the creative and culinary aspects of the business, it’s Sameer who is working on the business side and looks after the branding and publicity of the venture that is close to both of us.”

When asked about the soul of Village Degh, Osama, who diligently handpicks meat and veggies for the culinary extravaganza states, “It’s a celebration of heirloom recipes through hundred years’ old cooking techniques.”

Set in a rustic space with aroma grasping all your senses, Village Degh functions under the mentorship of Osama, who cooks up a storm every day along with a group of chefs who prepare 10 dishes, 100 portions every day, and sells from 12 noon onwards. Most days, they sell out by the late afternoon.
