Tilak

History

Tilak's decades long career has spanned a delectable saga across many countries. Tilak loved to cook as a teenager, and opened his first restaurant in his native Nepal before sojourning to work at an Indian restaurant in Korea. Chef Tilak then journeyed over to the States, where he honed his craft, capping his culinary journey off with stints at tech giants Apple and Dropbox. While at Dropbox, Tilak cooked for many celebrities including Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Condoleeza Rice, and Jon Ying. And today, he works to bring together everything he's learned in his worldly travels in order to serve you the best Indian food you've ever had.
