I create modern, story-driven dining experiences that blend fine-dining technique with warm, home-style hospitality—right at your table.

Akshat Chawla

I bring Michelin-level technique to modern Indian dining—personal, interactive, and unforgettable.

I grew up immersed in Indian flavors, and I turned that lifelong fascination into a career across India, Dubai, and Toronto. My training began in India and took me to JW Marriott New Delhi, before I moved to Dubai to work alongside Chef Himanshu Saini at Trèsind—where I learned to reinterpret traditional dishes through a modern fine-dining lens, balancing heritage with innovation.

In Canada, I studied hospitality at Seneca and Humber College and worked as a Sous Chef at Farzi Café in Mississauga. I also built my own ventures, from Indian cloud kitchens to my upscale-casual restaurant Carnival in Toronto, and my full-service catering company Toronto House Party. Today, I bring restaurant-quality food into your home with tasting menus, chef’s table experiences, and fully customized events—from an intimate dinner for two to celebrations for 200 guests.

Plan my event with you

Cook like a scientist, plate like an artist, and season like my mom is watching.

What you can expect when you book with me

I tell stories through flavor

For me, cooking is storytelling on a plate—turning memories, spices, and warmth into moments you’ll never forget.

I’m trained in luxury and Michelin-level kitchens

I learned to cook at home in India, refined my craft at JW Marriott New Delhi, and sharpened it in Michelin-level kitchens like Tresind.

I obsess over details, without losing soul

Cook like a scientist, plate like an artist, and season like my mom is watching.
