In conversation with Exec Chef Nikhil Rastogi, presently working with Eros, Nehru Place



Some people believe in destiny, and when they sense it the life is taking turn towards it, work it out wholeheartedly to achieve success...... Chef Nikhil Rastogi is one of them who says he had been a Chef as he got interested in cooking while in School days, is very passionate about his job which intern is his hobby too.

His interest in cooking started as he hated to eat the food, he had to heat it up which his mom used to cook in the morning before going for her job, hence he started cooking for himself rather then eating the leftover food.

Not very keen on joining a catering collage as his perception was that he won't be able to make a good career after doing that at that age. So very reluctantly he filled the form for PUSA, Delhi and luckly got the admission too, as was not at all interested to go to any other state to do the course.

After completing the course, he got facinated for food production and joined, Taj Management Trng Program, went to Australia for further studies. Spent two years there and then had to come back to India as his father had expired.

Joined Park, Delhi and worked for one and a half year. Then joined 9X Channel TV and did too hundred Cookery Shows which then aired on Zee Khana Khazana. Worked for restaurant named LAP at PARK Hotel for one year. For two years worked at Airport Catering Company where he was heading thirty two outlets. Continued growing up as a Chef, joined  Radisson Blu Kaushambi as Exec S Chef and then became Exec Chef there.

Now for two years working at Eros, Nehru Place as Exec Chef. Sixteen plus years in the Hospitality Industry and growing day by day, taking up challenges and meeting them enthusiastically, taking the cuisine to next level with a lot of research.

Wishing him the very best for his culinary journey onwards !!!
