Essentially, for me, the whole point of being a chef is to have your own restaurant. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
I’ve never chased a dream. I believe in living in the present, so I see myself happy and cooking. That’s all. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
The thing about innovation is, where do you stop? There are movements across the world where people are asking restaurateurs to bring back the regular plate. So, yes, we are fed up of drinking out of shoes and eating out of hats. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
My life lesson is just to be patient and everything will fall in place. Most of what’s happened in my life is not to do with me but good people and the way things happened. So I feel it’s no use stressing over anything. Let things simply happen. Ranveer Brar Read Quote

I grew up in Lucknow, which is famous for its street food and kebabs. It was the street food and Lucknowi kebabs that inspired me. The culture of the varieties of food that I tasted as a child inspired me to be a cook. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
With fame comes the responsibility of what you say. If the country is watching you, there ought to be substance, something worthwhile to speak about. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
Apparently, in the olden days, nawabs would get bored with their cooks very quickly and throw them out. All of them set up shop in a place called Bawarchi Tola. That’s how royal food came to the streets. I started hanging around there. That’s when I realised food is a lot more than just cooking on Sundays. Ranveer Brar Read Quote
