Michelin-starred chef launches street food concept
Specialising in Indian comfort food, KoolCha is co-founded by Ghai and his business partner Abhishake Sangwan who together headed London-based restaurants Trishna, Gymkhana, Hoppers and Bombay Bustle.
They also ran Jamavar (X), which Rohit was awarded a Michelin star for after just ten months of opening.
He said: “I have had the great fortune to work with Abhishake Sangwan over the last decade and we both felt ready for the next challenge.
“KoolCha will be a new Pan-Indian restaurant concept that promises to reinvigorate the Indian food space. We are excited to launch KoolCha at Boxpark Wembley, which will provide a great platform for KoolCha to flourish.”
Offering an all-day menu “reminiscent of (executive chef Ghai’s) childhood memories,” dishes will include: North Indian ‘Kulcha’ flatbreads and family recipes given a ‘contemporary’ twist, alongside ‘exotic’ cocktails, hot and cold fruit teas and Indian beers.
Boxpark founder and chief executive, Roger Wade, added: “We’re thrilled to announce that KoolCha is launching at Boxpark Wembley.
“KoolCha’s chef Rohit has worked at an impressive number of world-class restaurants and we have no doubt that KoolCha will be no different.”
