Atul Kochhar is a globally recognised, twice-Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur who has redefined the perception of Indian cuisine on the international stage. Born in Jamshedpur, India, Atul began his culinary career with the Oberoi Group of Hotels before moving to London in 1994, where his passion and talent quickly set him apart.

In 2001, Atul made history as the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star, a milestone followed by a second star in 2007. His cooking is defined by a seamless fusion of Indian flavours and culinary heritage with the finest seasonal British ingredients, presented in a contemporary and refined style.

Today, Atul is the founder of the Atul Kochhar Hospitality Group, which includes acclaimed restaurants such as Kanishka in Mayfair, Sindhu and Vaasu in Marlow, Riwaz in Beaconsfield, Masalchi in Wembley and Indian Essence and Essence in Kent. Beyond his restaurants, he is a familiar face on television and radio, an author of multiple bestselling cookbooks.

Committed to giving back, Atul actively supports numerous charitable causes and continues to inspire through his innovation, leadership, and dedication to modern Indian cuisine.

Feasting Experiences

See full Feasting Experience FAQs HERE

  • All menus are designed nut-free (unless specified otherwise), but please be aware food is prepared in kitchens where nuts, gluten, and other allergens may be present.
  • Feasting Experiences can only facilitate dietary requirements as outlined on the individual chef's booking page.
  • Where alternative dishes are available, the same dish will be used for vegan and dairy-free.
  • While we aim to keep all dietary alternatives as close to the original menu dish as possible, in some circumstances, where a direct substitute is not possible, there may be changes to the entire dish.
  • Available alternative menu options must always be requested in advance via the dietaries form. Do not forget this if booking for a group, we are in a field so alternatives are not readily available.
  • Banquets - unless specified otherwise on the chef's page, there is a vegan alternative for all our larger banquet restaurants (long table and woodland), but they must be requested in advance via the dietaries form.
  • Banquets - are served sharing style, so, if you have a dietary requirement, your dish will likely be served individually plated instead.
  • The Chef's Table cannot accommodate any dietary requirements other than those outlined on the individual chef's page, due to the style of the experience.
  • The Woodland Banquet will take place come rain or shine as we have a beautiful canopy in the woodland to use in the event of rain so you don’t miss your meal!
  • Little ones can sit on parents' laps at all restaurants except for The Chef's Table. If they're in a pram please ask on arrival to be seated at the end of a table. Unless available at the point of booking, we don't have a dedicated children's menu, so if you’re planning for them to eat with you they’ll need to be booked as an additional seat.
