What do you do if you’re very rich and can’t find a good restaurant? You build your own, of course.
That’s what Sunil Mehra did.
He’s a property developer who owns chunks of real estate in Darras Hall, and was fed up with the absence of Indian fine dining restaurants in the North East.
By which he didn’t mean curry houses, of which there are plenty, or even the excellent regional dishes you find in Rasa, but the sort of food you can only find in a few top hotels in Delhi, or in London’s Michelin-starred Benares, Tamarind and Trishna.
He wanted beautiful food, with subtle blending of spices, colours and textures – painstakingly prepared, imaginatively intricate cooking. If you haven’t experienced modern Indian cuisine, you haven’t lived.
