He has also worked alongside Michelin-starred Chef Atul Kochhar in the UK\u2026
The idea for The Crossing was born out of Chef Ankur’s childhood travels across his native India with his family, who worked for the national railways.
He came to understand the richness and diversity of the culinary culture that India had to offer, and drew inspiration from this to develop the many recipes at The Crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThe name is an ode to the complex network of the Indian railways which intertwines and connects one corner to the other and bringing closer – this great diversity of our nation.<\/em>\u00bb<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A love story between a chef and the flavours of his home country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A genuine invitation to explore his native land, The crossing invites us to taste his revisited dishes, such as his Chaat, an emblematic street-food dish for which he creates a perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Also worth discovering is Chhena Khandvi, a fresh cheese roll subtly seasoned with a dhokla-based sauce for a sweet, tangy and slightly spicy flavour: the quintessence of Indian cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
