“We keep things simple but never ordinary,” the team added. “Our focus is on quality ingredients, bold flavours, and making sure every guest leaves happy. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or colleagues, we want everyone to feel at home.” Said Tushar Ahmed.
While Rickshaw & Co. and Raja Rani have distinct menus, they share a dedication to quality, consistency, and sustainability. Both kitchens take pride in reducing food waste and sourcing responsibly, ensuring that each meal is prepared with care — for the customer and the environment.
The awards are a proud moment for the team, who credit their success to loyal customers and hardworking staff.
“Our heartfelt thanks go to our guests for their continued support, and to every team member whose passion and effort make this possible. These awards belong to all of us.” Said co-owner Gulshan Soni.
