Chef John

I’m an Executive Chef with 16+ years of experience leading kitchens across the United States and India, from luxury resorts and multi-unit restaurant groups to private dining and destination weddings. I currently lead culinary operations for a four-restaurant group across Arkansas, Ohio, and Virginia, and I’ve had the honor of cooking for Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

My cooking blends contemporary Indian, Italian, American, and global fusion flavors, built around fresh local ingredients and unforgettable guest experiences. I was a Top 5 Finalist in Favorite Chef USA 2025, a national competition supporting the James Beard Foundation—so whether it’s an intimate dinner or a major event, I deliver a refined, personalized experience from start to finish.

Plan your dinner with me

Chef John
For me, cooking is telling a story on every plate—each dish carrying memory, culture, and craft.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I tell a story on every plate

My cooking is about telling a story on every plate—each dish carries memory, culture, and craft, so your meal feels meaningful as well as delicious.

I bring global training to your table

I learned to cook in the kitchens of Nepal, then honed my craft across India, Europe, and the United States, which lets me create bold, balanced menus that feel both authentic and modern.

I cook with passion and intention

My secret in the kitchen is passion for cooking, fresh ingredients, and food made with love. I believe food brings people together and spreads happiness, and I bring that energy to every event I serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 150 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
