#242 Parmjit Singh Ahuja & Gurpreet Singh | Divine Darbar

I sat down with brothers, co-owners and chefs Parmjit Singh Ahuja and Gurpreet Singh to talk about their restaurant Divine Darbar. They made me a delicious chai and talked about growing up in New Delhi and how food was a central part of their family but that they had never intended to become chefs. Parmjit has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and Gurpreet has a Masters in IT. While studying, they got part-time jobs in kitchens and they felt drawn to hospitality in such an overwhelming way that they embraced it wholeheartedly, opening Divine Darbar in December last year. They want to share the food they grew up with and are passionate about creating a whole experience for diners. Parmjit and Gurpreet were nervous about talking to me, but they had so many great things to say and this was a lovely conversation.
