Chef Prateek Sadhu to Bring Mountain Flavours to JW Marriott Kolkata

JW Marriott Kolkata, in collaboration with Conosh and NAAR, is delighted to host the renowned Chef Prateek Sadhu for a two-day exclusive culinary event on November 8th and 9th, 2024. Chef Prateek Sadhu’s NAAR takes its name from the Kashmiri word for fire, and the restaurant is a culinary playground where the spirit of the Himalayas is brought to life. NAAR offers what Sadhu calls Himalayan-forward cuisine, a blend of ancient traditions and modern techniques that encapsulate the diversity of the mountain regions, reflected through his signature playful yet respectful approach.

Chef Prateek Sadhu will present a nine-course dinner, offering guests a journey through the Himalayas. Each dish will reflect his deep connection with the mountain regions and his expertise in using ingredients and techniques. JW Marriott Kolkata is at the forefront of setting a trend in the city's dining scene by pioneering culinary pop-ups and restaurant takeovers. As one of the first luxury hotels in Kolkata to curate such exclusive, immersive dining experiences, we have established ourselves as the go-to venue for events that push boundaries and celebrate innovation.

Our pop-ups not only bring renowned chefs from across the globe to showcase their culinary expertise but also allow guests to engage with diverse flavours and

cooking styles in a unique, intimate setting. The collaboration with Conosh, Chef Prateek Sadhu and his restaurant NAAR is the latest example of how JW Marriott Kolkata is reshaping the dining culture in the city, making each event an exploration of authentic, regional, and globally relevant cuisines.

At the core of JW Marriott’s culinary philosophy is a commitment to promoting local produce and advocating for sustainability. By collaborating with chefs like Prateek Sadhu, who source ingredients directly from local farmers and foragers, JW Marriott ensures that the spotlight remains on India’s rich agricultural heritage and its vast biodiversity.

For this event, Chef Sadhu will highlight ingredients sourced from the Himalayan region, championing both the forgotten treasures of the land and the sustainability practices that are integral to the future of Indian cuisine. JW Marriott Kolkata is proud to be a platform where local farmers, foragers, and artisanal producers can showcase their work to a discerning global audience.

At JW Marriott Kolkata, we are committed to curating unique experiences that not only showcase the best of local flavours but also promote sustainability by working closely with local producers. By hosting pop-ups like Chef Prateek Sadhu’s ‘Mountain Flavours,’ we’re not just bringing diverse, innovative cuisine to our guests, but we’re also championing the rich, diverse heritage of India’s culinary traditions. Our focus is on making an impact both locally and globally, and it’s exciting to see how these efforts are being embraced on an international scale.” says Sunil Kumar, General Manager, JW Marriott Kolkata
