When he is not cooking at one of his many restaurants or shooting for TV, he is setting records and creating experiences of a culinary kind. Most memorable was the trek up to the Everest Base Camp in June 2018 to set up a ‘pop-up restaurant’ for ten lucky diners that flew in via helicopter. In December 2019 he prepared a gourmet Indian meal each day on board the French cruise liner Ponant along with Chef Alain Ducasse’s team, for the ten day sail to Antarctica.

Fay Maschler, The Evening Standard

Despite all the advances made in Indian food, I think Vineet is still the finest modern –Indian chef anywhere. His ability to make complex flavours clear and harmonious, while keeping dishes light and fresh, is unmatched, and his seasoning is always pitch -perfect.

AA Gill, The Times

Each of the small, carefully crafted dishes are as refined as the setting, fusing complex flavour combinations that will tease your taste buds to try more. […] Bhatia’s menu is modern, refreshing and unlike any Indian food I’ve tasted before, so expect the unexpected.

Marie Claire

Dishes are deliciously nuanced and ideas bountiful; it is like being in the Indian version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Bhatia is a true food inventor.

Harpers Bazaar

This is cooking that is quite unlike anything else you will find in London, delivering combinations of originality and complexity that keep the senses alert rather than overwhelmed.
