OUR CHEFS
VRINDABAN MISRI (“V”) is a Northern California and Bay Area local who has travelled all over the world learning international vegetarian delicacies. What to speak of being the son of two amazing chefs! He has cooked for yoga and spiritual retreats at Mandala Springs for over 5 years and does private catering for birthdays and special occasions all over Northern California. He has visited and appreciated many of the vegan and vegetarian restaurants and food hubs in the Bay Area over the years, yet growing up, he remembers that it was always a challenge to find good vegetarian options. He is eager to share unique dishes that the San Francisco Bay Area has yet to experience.
PRAN KRISHN DAS (“Pran Ji”) has over a decade of experience cooking vegan and vegetarian Indian specialties. Since he moved to the USA, apart from serving friends and family restaurant style at home, he has worked at two vegetarian restaurants in the East Bay as a head chef and is excited to start his own venture. Pran is a lover of Indian street food (chaat) and tasty delicacies himself, and he is excited to add some spice and flavor to the San Francisco Bay Area culinary world.
