Butter chicken with garlic naan has been my favourite food combination since I was in school. While now I am open to trying local cuisines, back when I would travel with family I would tire of experimentation and want butter chicken. However, not many restaurants in Mumbai got the recipe right.
At such a time, in 2016, Chef Saransh Goila introduced a revolutionary rendition of this dish through his cloud kitchen Goila Butter Chicken (GBC). Eight years after its launch, the iconic brand that’s been serving this beloved dish, among other delicious Indian food to patrons in the city has hit its 100-store mark across 40 cities. There’s no stopping the chefpreneur as he’s got plans.
THE CULINARY SPARK
Born in New Delhi, Goila’s interest in food began at the age of 12, inspired by his grandfather, a hobby cook who prepared meals every Sunday. “Him, me and my grandmother would sit and watch Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's cooking show Khana Khazana. I would run back from my school bus so as to not miss even the beginning. I used to maintain a book of all his recipes back in the day. So that's how my cooking journey started,” Goila shares.
