From a wide-eyed girl in India sampling oysters and foie gras in Paris to the founder of Gaa in Bangkok, Garima Arora has been on a winning streak. After working with culinary giants globally, she established Gaa in 2017, aiming to bridge the connection between India and Thailand, crafting unique dining experiences that highlight the modern relevance of Indian cooking techniques. Gaa’s mission is to rediscover and reform the narrative surrounding Indian food.
In 2019, Gaa earned its first Michelin star, making Garima the first Indian female chef to achieve this distinction. Recently, Gaa secured two Michelin stars in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2024, placing her among three Indians with this honour. This achievement is especially significant as it coincides with another first — the birth of her son, Aham.
In an exclusive chat with HELLO! this master chef, who enjoys returning to Matunga for South Indian delights at Madras Café, shares her remarkable journey from India to her current pinnacle in the culinary world.
Garima, congratulations on the two Michelin stars in the Michelin Thailand 2024 edition. What does this achievement mean to you personally and professionally?
