Karan Talpade

Ajman Saray has brought Karan Talpade into its kitchen as executive sous chef. The luxurious resort is home to six dining outlets, as well as in-room dining.

These venues are the Mejhana Restaurant, Bab Al Bahr Beach Bar & Grill, Al Shorfa Lobby Lounge, Vista All Day Dining, Escape and Safi Restaurant & Bar.

Talpade joins the Ajman hotel from The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai - also part of the Marriott portfolio. Here he was chef de cuisine, handling culinary operations at La Baie Lounge and Palm Grill. This role demanded him to oversee a brigade of 14 chefs.

Before Dubai, he was at Marriott Marquis City Center Doha, first as a sous chef before moving up to chef de cuisine two years later. He has also spent six years with The Oberoi Group in India.
