A passionate food lover turned restauranteur. Got into the business of opening and running restaurants just because of the pure love for food!

Hello, I'm Prem, founder and chef behind Kumar's group of restaurants. With a lifelong passion for the culinary arts, my journey in the world of gastronomy has been a flavorful adventure.
.
Ever since I first set foot in a commercial kitchen in 2015, I knew that creating exceptional dishes was my calling. The artistry of combining ingredients, flavors, and techniques to craft memorable meals is what drives me each day.
.
My culinary journey started with bringing the most authentic and traditional food from back home (South India), but over time, it has taken me through diverse kitchens and cuisines, enabling me to dive beyond the authentic dishes to create fusion concepts. From honing my skills in building unaplogetically authentic food joints to exploring global flavors, every step has shaped me to build more brands such as Eastern Pizza Co (an Indian Italian fusion), Biryani Bhai (an experiment to make several versions of one particular dish), etc. I believe in the power of food to bring people together and create lasting memories.

At Kumar's, we are dedicated to excellence in every aspect. From sourcing the finest, locally-sourced ingredients to delivering impeccable service, our goal is to exceed people's expectations in all areas. We take pride in offering a menu that reflects both creativity and tradition, ensuring a delightful experience for every palate!
Restaurants opened and counting...
Started in May 2015, Kumar's revolutionized the Indian restaurant industry. First ever Indian restaurant to acknowledge the fact that every state in India has a cuisine of its own, and without any fear brought a very regional ethnic food culture (from the state of Tamil Nadu) to the US. I can proudly boast about being the first to initiate the banana leaf meals concept - a tradition that was started in south India decades ago! The restaurant survived the pandemic and is still successfully running creating record revenues year after year.
