"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war." I'm stealing that.

[vaishnavikasturirangan]

no but the most Indian thing in this video is how they kept giving little snacks throughout the day <3

Shout out to the cook who fed the dishwashers. When I worked on the line a lot of managers got angry when we gave food to the dishwashers, which is not ethical when they demanded that we cooked something for them but I learned to give food to people regardless of their position in the kitchen and my old sous chef told me, “at the end of the day we’re all human.” That stuck with me so I really liked that detail from this video. Food looks amazing btw and the chef is very humble and a formidable person.

The fact that they actually made food for their workers at the end of the shift was really touching. I wish I worked in a kitchen like that. Really shows they care about the staff; it's not some token 'pizza party' or whatever.

Alvin getting fed throughout the video is just too wholesome 😄

[JithinJohn]

you know how legit this indian food is when you see Amul ghee, Amul cheese and MDH chilli powder

[ziyon]

"I'm going to make food for these guys, the dishwashers." 16:50

Now that is a sign of a good restaurant. Taking care of everyone, including the workers who never see down time.

The most Indian thing in the video is:
1: Alwin keeps getting fed snacks every while
2 : the use of red onions to all dish
3 : being unapologetic for the spicyness
Damn ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
My guys down here creating a vibe 👍😘

This guy has achieved the one thing that indians are destined to do. Feed people. And I don't mean jus the customer.
He fed the camera guy, the staff before the service, the dishwasher. You are a true Indian🇮🇳

"It says stuffed pepper, it doesn't say a stuffed strawberry." I feel you, homie.

[mattattack]

You know, I could never put my finger on it but he's exactly right. You dont get naan at home, you get paratha or more likely chapati. You dont eat with a spoon at home, you eat with your hands. You dont get an individual plated meal, you get an empty plate and a table full of rice and curry. Indian food is first and foremost a food to be shared and needs to be eaten like that. Thats why it always felt wrong when I went to an indian place and got served a perfectly portioned plate of curry and rice, thats not how indian food is supposed to be eaten and it really does affect the taste and experience.

just this Indian restaurant feeding Alvin something every hour shows you the hospitality all Indians show their guests <3

[Nathanielwarjri]

Him calling white onion fake is just amazing. I completely agree.

[imandidahanayake]

I was never heard of White Onion until I watch American Cooking shows.

[nishadkindre]

Man's not just giving indian food but also indian values!

[NickSquaredTV]

He said his dishes weren’t that sexy- but I literally couldn’t disagree more. Everything looked stunning

[bhavishkumar]

all the "indian" restaurants in the west serving cliched indian dishes and here comes this mahn showing the diversity of indian food. Respect my man

[haritaav]

As an Malaysian-indian who eats Indian food on a daily basis what he said about the onion is 100%

[chrisklark]

I ate at this restaurant twice now and it is absolutely amazing I mean I didn't even think he was Indian food because I was so ignorant of what Indian food was it was like opening a whole new cuisine to me it was amazing

"Instead of doing 100 things at 10% we do 10 things at 100%"
Love this man
