Taj corporate chef Hemant Oberoi wants to break the myth that Indian food is heavy and rich. Through his masala cuisine concept, Chef Oberoi reinvents authentic Indian cuisine, and is faithful to the diverse homemade dishes of India. The masalas (mixtures of ground spices) are used judiciously to complement rather than overshadow the other ingredients.
Taj Hotels have four Masala brand restaurants – Masala Art in Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi, Masala Kraft at Taj Mahal Palace & Tower in Mumbai, Masala Bay at Taj Lands End in Mumbai, and Masala Klub at Taj West End, Bangalore.
