Chef Samaira

Born and raised in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, in India, Chef Samaira is no stranger to her home country’s cuisine. The Mumbai-native is keen to celebrate her heritage through her cuisine. The Portuguese arrived in India in 1500s, and for centuries the country’s cuisine has undergone the influence. Samaira’s Indian cuisine is inspired by her Portuguese-Indian descent, as her cuisine is inspired to cherish family recipes and the art of hospitality and entertaining. She moved to Hong Kong with a profession in the commercial sector. As her passion for cuisine grew stronger, Samaira started to host special pop-ups and wine dinners, presenting a colourful scope of Indian cuisine beyond the stereotypical spice-laden dishes. Drawing on her years of experience as a private chef, she brings a distinctive perspective of Indian cuisine unknown to many, but often beloved.
