Riding on the success of his flagship UAE concept, celebrated chef, author and actor Ranveer Brar unveils the next chapter of Kashkan, a vibrant tribute to storytelling, rooted traditions and the shared language of food.
Kashkan Kissaghar marks the evolution of a brand that has redefined Indian dining in Dubai, blending soulful culinary heritage with contemporary design and global technique. Located at One Sheikh Zayed Road, H Hotel, this new opening cements Brar’s vision in the heart of the city, creating a culinary landmark for residents and visitors alike.
A House of Stories
Kashkan Kissaghar isn’t just a restaurant. It’s Brar’s personal love letter to Dubai. “Food has always been a giver,” says Brar. “Dubai reflects that spirit, layered, inclusive and endlessly inspiring. We are calling this the Kashkan Kissaghar, the house of stories. A space where flavours tell stories, where every dish carries a memory, and every guest becomes part of the narrative.”
Every detail of the design is intentionally layered: the Banyan Tree feature symbolises connection and resilience; the Mandala Wall channels Himalayan serenity; the Wishing Wall invites guests to weave hopes into acts of kindness; and traditional Lippan art celebrates craftsmanship and community. Together, these elements reflect Dubai itself, a place where heritage and modernity live side by side.
A Culinary Journey Across India
With over 20 million followers worldwide and a career that spans iconic kitchens from Goa to Boston, Brar has long been recognised for reimagining Indian culinary heritage for a global stage. At Kashkan Kissaghar, he continues this mission with a menu inspired by the length and breadth of India, celebrating regional diversity, forgotten classics and ingredient-led storytelling.
The menu features a dedicated cocktail programme that mirrors the culinary philosophy, weaving spice, seasonality and storytelling into every pour.

A Conscious Culinary Vision
An ambassador for millets and sustainable cooking, Brar’s collaborations with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, World Wide Fund for Nature and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics reflect his commitment to conscious gastronomy. This ethos is woven into Kashkan Kissaghar, from thoughtful sourcing and ingredient provenance to the design philosophy.
