# Chef Narayan: A Culinary Journey

Born into a family of first-generation

hoteliers and inspired by a love for

home cooking, Chef Narayan's passion

for food ignited at a young age when

he stepped into the enchanting world

of hotel kitchens at some of India’s

premier beach resorts in Kerala. With aspirations of becoming a Chef

Extraordinaire, Narayan trained at the esteemed Institute of Hotel Management in Gwalior, India. He gained invaluable

experience through internships with

prominent chefs, refining his culinary

talents. Narayan then worked with

renowned hotel chains in India, including

the Imperial Hotel in New Delhi, The

Oberoi Hotels, and The Aman Resorts.

He crafted intriguing menus that

stemmed from years of research,

blending a variety of Indian flavors to

create dishes that nourished not just the

body but also the soul.
Having had the privilege of cooking for

numerous presidents, prime ministers,

and celebrities, his culinary style

focuses on resurrecting ancient

recipes, using spices not just for flavor

but as medicinal ingredients. Driven by a desire to share the rich

flavors of India, Narayan relocated to Portugal, where he founded United Kitchens of India—a culinary destination that showcases an eclectic array of Indian cuisine from across the country.
