Bastian Hospitality Private Limited (BHPL), the force behind popular dining establishments like Bastian and Bizza, has a new culinary maestro at the helm. They proudly introduce Suvir Saran as their Culinary Director, a name synonymous with gastronomic excellence.
Hailing from New Delhi, Suvir Saran brings an illustrious culinary journey to the table. He's not only the author of three revered cookbooks but also a global influencer in the world of F&B concepts, menus, catering, and culinary conferences. Suvir rose to fame as the standout star of the 3rd season of Top Chef Masters and holds the unique distinction of being the sole chef on the Nutrition Advisory Board at Brigham & Women’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School. His culinary passion shines brightest when it comes to the diverse flavors found in Indian homes and regions.
At BHPL, Chef Saran assumes a pivotal role in propelling the already-established homegrown F&B brand to new heights, particularly as BHPL expands its footprint across India. Collaborating closely with BHPL's senior management, he brings his unparalleled insights into the global F&B industry to chart out international growth strategies.
Ranjit Bindra, Founder & CEO of BHPL, expresses his confidence in Chef Saran's appointment, noting, “BHPL has always attracted the finest talent from around the world, which is what has helped us grow into one of the country’s most respected and exciting F&B brands. With Suvir joining to steer the culinary direction of the company, I am confident that we will cement our reputation, not just in India but also abroad.”
In Chef Saran's impressive culinary portfolio, he achieved a significant milestone by creating Devi in Manhattan, the first restaurant to earn a Michelin star when the guide made its North American debut. Devi also holds the distinction of being the first non-Northern European and Indian restaurant to receive a Michelin star in North America. Chef Saran also owned and operated Tapestry in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, before temporarily closing it to return to India for health reasons.
BHPL's future plans include launching the Bastian brand in two more key metropolitan areas and relocating Bastian Worli to a larger and more strategically positioned venue in central Mumbai. With Chef Suvir Saran steering the culinary ship, exciting developments await the world of gastronomy under BHPL's banner.
