Riding on the success of
his flagship UAE concept, celebrated chef, author and actor Ranveer Brar
unveils the next chapter of Kashkan, a vibrant tribute to storytelling, rooted
traditions and the shared language of food.
Kashkan Kissaghar marks
the evolution of a brand that has redefined Indian dining in Dubai, blending
soulful culinary heritage with contemporary design and global technique.
Located at One Sheikh Zayed Road, H Hotel, this new opening cements Brar’s
vision in the heart of the city, creating a culinary landmark for residents and
visitors alike.
A House of Stories
Kashkan Kissaghar isn’t
just a restaurant. It’s Brar’s personal love letter to Dubai. “Food has always
been a giver,” says Brar. “Dubai reflects that spirit, layered, inclusive and
endlessly inspiring. We are calling this the Kashkan Kissaghar, the house of
stories. A space where flavours tell stories, where every dish carries a
memory, and every guest becomes part of the narrative.”
Every detail of the
design is intentionally layered: the Banyan Tree feature symbolises connection
and resilience; the Mandala Wall channels Himalayan serenity; the Wishing Wall
invites guests to weave hopes into acts of kindness; and traditional Lippan art
celebrates craftsmanship and community. Together, these elements reflect Dubai
itself, a place where heritage and modernity live side by side.
A Culinary Journey Across India
With over 20 million
followers worldwide and a career that spans iconic kitchens from Goa to Boston,
Brar has long been recognised for reimagining Indian culinary heritage for a
global stage. At Kashkan Kissaghar, he continues this mission with a menu inspired
by the length and breadth of India, celebrating regional diversity, forgotten
classics and ingredient-led storytelling.
The menu features a
dedicated cocktail programme that mirrors the culinary philosophy, weaving
spice, seasonality and storytelling into every pour.
Signature Dishes:
Kaddu Kachori (K2
Special)
A playful reimagining of
a beloved classic. Sweet and sour pumpkin paired with crisp, deep-fried breads,
transformed into a pie and topped with whipped feta and a spiced lentil
crumble.
Saag Burrata (K2
Special)
A modern fusion dish
that celebrates the earthy, bold flavour of traditional North Indian saag
paired with the luxurious creaminess of Italian burrata.
Naga Black Chicken Curry
with Sticky Rice and Bamboo Pickle

cooked in a fermented paste of black sesame seeds and chillies, served with
sticky rice and fresh bamboo pickle for a striking balance of flavour and heat.

Kunafa, Chocolate Mava Cake, Badbi Pudding
A trio of indulgent
desserts inspired by the city’s multicultural palate, blending tradition with
innovation.
A Conscious Culinary Vision
An ambassador for
millets and sustainable cooking, Brar’s collaborations with the Federation of
Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, World Wide Fund for Nature and
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics reflect his
commitment to conscious gastronomy. This ethos is woven into Kashkan Kissaghar,
from thoughtful sourcing and ingredient provenance to the design philosophy.
