The Chef
A lifetime
in kitchens.
Rohit has spent decades behind the pass — from five-star hotel restaurants to intimate cafés, from Australian classics to the Italian kitchens of Ritu Dalmia.
When he arrived in Melbourne in 2023, he brought with him a deep archive of technique and one obsession: proper, unhurried, clay-pot Handi Chicken that he felt Melbourne had been quietly missing.
Rohit's Kitchen is a single-dish cloud kitchen built around that obsession. Every order is made fresh, slow-cooked in a traditional handi, and delivered directly to your door. No shortcuts. No compromises.
