Chef Tushar Tondvalkar brings over a decade of culinary experience, having staged at the Michelin-acclaimed restaurants Gaggan and Gaa in Bangkok, and worked in several of Vancouver’s well-known kitchens, including The Fish House in Stanley Park, Bauhaus, Blue Water Cafe, and as head chef at Mumbai Local.

Over the past year, you may have experienced Chef Tushar’s cooking at pop-ups across the city or through his brand, The Indian Pantry, known for its simmering sauces and spice blends.
