Garima Arora, the Chef-Owner of Restaurant Gaa passion for the culinary world began in her family's Ghumble kitchen in Mumbai. Little did she know that one fine day she would become the first Indian female chef to earn a Michelin star.
Having studied to be a journalist, Arora made the switch to the culinary world with a short cooking stint in Paris, France. Today, Garima Arora is the Chef-Owner of Restaurant Gaa started on 1 April 2017 and the all-day modern Indian eatery & bar, HERE, in Bangkok, Thailand.
In her conversation with Women Fitness, Garima highlights how the restaurants got their name “Gaa was named after my initials (Garima Arora) to reflect a highly personal and unique cuisine we created. “ She adds” The idea of HERE came to me as I reflected on how we in India are big breakfast eaters and truth be told, also big lunch and dinner eaters! Our mission with this casual sister restaurant is to showcase a larger spectrum of Indian flavors and techniques but of course, with our own twist and in an easily accessible way to the Thai audience. It was crucial to us to strike this balance as HERE was born amid pandemic where we could only thrive if we managed to capture the hearts of the locals.”
This season for Gaa, the tasting menu highlights the spirits of the Street Food in India. “We create dishes which best encapsulate what and how we eat back home whether it be by way of memories, flavors or mannerisms like eating with hands. The goal is to offer familiarity while also surprises the guests with something they’ve never experienced before.”
