Tejal Choksi
Head Chef

My food journey reflects my life—a kaleidoscope of flavours, geographies, and experimentation leading to unexpected but delicious outcomes.


I was born in Hong Kong into a family that lived to eat, travel and most of all to share. At an early age, I wanted to recreate the essence of the places I had visited, and so I taught myself to cook, to bring variety, discovery and sometimes a chance coming together of ingredients to surprise my captive family and friends with unexpected successes.


Moving to Bombay in my 20s, I longed for the flavours from home and wanted to share them with those around me. This turned into my first venture, The Cantonese Kitchen, bringing the essence of Hong Kong using locally sourced ingredients to create dishes to intrigue and excite.


In parallel, The Secret Supper Project, an underground supper club, was my opportunity to continue the experimenting with no limits. People paid to show up without knowing what they were going to eat, who they were going to meet and where this was going to take place until the very last minute.


I bring complex and diverse flavours and textures together to create unexpected delectable mouthfuls, with a high level of attention to detail and a willingness and desire to seek out new and unusual options tailored to my clients’ specific needs. No dietary restriction is too difficult and no ask is too unusual.
