Chef Vineet Bhatia is the world's first Michelin-starred Indian chef and is largely considered to be the father of modern Indian food. 

His culinary vision has transformed Indian cuisine, taking it to new heights and placing it on the world platform with a modern and creative twist, making him one of the most respected and recognised names in the industry.

Indya by Vineet at Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa takes a contemporary approach to all-time favourite Indian street delicacies in a fun and vibrant, colourful and eclectic backdrop inspired by the culture, spirit and vitality of the motherland.

"Indya is an opportunity to have fun with Indian food, to challenge perceptions and introduce new ingredients to age-old dishes. I guess you could liken it to an expression of my roots and respectfully breathing new life into the food I grew up with" says Chef Vineet.
