The Culinary Magician

Chef Manu Chandra is known for introducing many firsts to India. He is credited for launching the first gastropub; bringing the global sensation open-faced bao; making Asian dining trendy; reviving India’s romance with gin; and celebrating India’s biodiversity by championing local produce in progressive ways.

He is not only a trendsetter, but also a champion of ‘homegrown’. Exiting the Olive Group after more than 17 years in 2021, he started Manu Chandra Ventures with Single Thread - the bespoke catering company – in mid-2022. In less than 10 months, they have curated several unique F&B experiences in Bengaluru and across India, along with catering at the India Pavilion in Cannes, and more recently, at a private catering assignment at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January. Now, he has launched Lupa, his first independent restaurant in partnership with hospitality veteran Chetan Rampal. ‘Indian Retailer’ caught up with the culinary genius. Excerpts from the interaction:

Tell us about Lupa. How is it different from other restaurants?
