“We were supposed to re-open Masala Library at this location, but after my meal at Gaggan a year ago in Bangkok, I was convinced that this is another level of food, which must be brought to India.”

“Not to recreate Bangkok. Not to bring back the greatest hits. And definitely not to play by the rules.”
