CAFE SPICE NAMSTEY BY CHEF CYRUS TODIWALA

CafĂ© Spice Namaste traces its roots to the day Chef Patron Cyrus Todiwala decided he wanted to become a chef, initially against his parents’ wishes. It was eighties Bombay and undeterred, Cyrus went on to study Hotel Administration and Food Technology at Basant Kumar Somani Polytechnic. Upon graduation, he began his professional career with the Taj Group in Bombay, where he met his wife Pervin, also a trained chef. 

Cyrus and Pervin moved to Goa, where Cyrus was appointed Corporate Executive Chef overseeing Taj Holiday Village, The Fort Aguada Beach Resort and the Aguada Hermitage. It was a big role, but in 1989 came a change of direction. Cyrus decided to leave the Taj to help restart a famous restaurant in Poona
