Our team shows up with the same love in every single dish: a standard set right from the top. 🙏
Our founder Aman is still hands-on behind the scenes, making sure the standards, systems and little details that keep everything running smoothly are never overlooked, rain or shine.
And in the kitchen, that same standard carries through to every plate. Every dish is carefully prepared and presented to ensure it meets the quality and consistency we expect, with Chef Jolly bringing his signature touch to every plate we serve.
At The Great Indian, we don’t just serve food: we serve our community, one plate, one smile and one “welcome back” at a time.
That’s the standard Aman built this place on, and one our whole team carries forward every single day. 🍛✨

Chef Jolly still remembers the exact moment he got this recipe right — the aroma, the crunch, the first bite that made the whole kitchen stop and take notice. 😌
In this episode, he’s taking you back into that kitchen to relive it all: the spices, the technique, and the one small secret that makes our Chicken Lollipops nearly impossible to stop eating.
New episode of Chef Jolly’s Food Diaries is out now. 🎬🌶️

Chef Jolly’s Onion Bhajias are inspired by the kind of food that brings everyone to the table. Thinly sliced onions are mixed with fragrant spices and gram flour, then fried until beautifully crisp and golden.
Crunchy, savoury and full of flavour, they’re the perfect way to start a meal at The Great Indian.
Best enjoyed with chutney, good company and absolutely no sharing required. 👀
