At age 15, he cooked rajma the first time. His dad’s praises for his cooking sealed the deal. The first time he cooked rajma his father was the only other person in the house so he had no one to impress. Still, his father praised him for a job well done and that was all it took for him to take cooking seriously.

Ranveer Brar stated, “I evolve every day and with it, my food evolves as well. My food is an expression of me. Adding to it, the cuisine that I serve is a sum total of what I feel, what I see, and what I learn which I try to put across in a very humble and subtle way,”
Ranveer Brar is a very successful entrepreneur and restaurateur in India. He has opened more than a dozen restaurants in the country, including some very famous ones such as The Flying Elephant, The Rummana Lounge, Jaipur House and many more. His dream restaurant would have to be a 50 to 60-seater with an open kitchen and unique name.
There is more to the man who spends his spare time painting, sculpting, photographing and writing than meets the eye. More than a self-assured man, he is an artist with a rare and remarkable sense of creativity.
