Celebrated chef, author, and actor Ranveer Brar unveils the next chapter of Kashkan, a vibrant tribute to storytelling, rooted traditions, and the shared language of food. Kashkan Kissaghar marks the evolution of a brand that has redefined Indian dining in Dubai, blending soulful culinary heritage with contemporary design and global technique. Located at One Sheikh Zayed Road, H Hotel, this new opening cements Brar’s vision in the heart of the city, creating a culinary landmark for residents and visitors alike.
“Food has always been a giver,” says Brar. “Dubai reflects that spirit, layered, inclusive, and endlessly inspiring. We are calling this the Kashkan Kissaghar, the house of stories. A space where flavours tell stories, where every dish carries a memory, and every guest becomes part of the narrative.”
Every detail of the design is intentionally layered: the Banyan Tree feature symbolises connection and resilience; the Mandala Wall channels Himalayan serenity; the Wishing Wall invites guests to weave hopes into acts of kindness; and traditional Lippan art celebrates craftsmanship and community. Together, these elements reflect Dubai itself, a place where heritage and modernity live side by side.
With over 20 million followers worldwide and a career that spans iconic kitchens from Goa to Boston, Brar has long been recognised for reimagining Indian culinary heritage for a global stage. At Kashkan Kissaghar, he continues this mission with a menu inspired by the length and breadth of India, celebrating regional diversity, forgotten classics, and ingredient-led storytelling. The menu features a dedicated cocktail programme that mirrors the culinary philosophy, weaving spice, seasonality, and storytelling into every pour.
An ambassador for millets and sustainable cooking, Brar’s collaborations with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, World Wide Fund for Nature, and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics reflect his commitment to conscious gastronomy. This ethos is woven into Kashkan Kissaghar, from thoughtful sourcing and ingredient provenance to the design philosophy.
