Dishes of India has been everyone's favorite in India and that is why we had to bring it to the streets of Alexandria. It is a household name there because food is not just a daily routine. It is an experience, a feeling and a celebration. The moment you enter through our doors here in Alexandria, you will get a taste of family life, culture and grandeur. Read on to learn more about what makes Dishes of India more than just about flavours.
Learning to Cook Through Family and Tradition
Our chef, Ramanand Bhatt, did not gain formal training or became interested in cooking out of business purpose. He did so because of his love for family traditions that sprouted through food. Cooking techniques were learnt through observation, repetition and instinct. Moving on, spices were added by feel and not measurement and these gave rise to recipes that evolved through practice and not written instructions.
Food As A Way of Life, Not Just Profession
As time passed, cooking became something cherished deeply by our chef and he wanted the world to gain benefit from his experience. It is because of this that Dishes of India was opened in 1997. The heart of the food remained the same but what emerged were professional kitchens that allowed these traditional skills to grow, blending classic Indian methods with refined techniques.
Bringing Indian Flavors to the United States
Moving to the United States is definitely a big step and it has to overcome the bias that other Indian restaurants have. Many Indian restaurants adjust flavors to fit expectations but our vision was different. We have always wanted to stay true to the flavors because they are meant to be enjoyed. Alexandria felt like home because it valued culture, diversity and good food.
