the divine hima standalone restaurant and the boutique bungalow wrapped around it
is my baby.
this baby has had its support in its fledgling years
from my supportive mother
an eager wife and a son and a daughter.
my father, who probably is sipping wine with good old god right now
wanted me to be an electrical engineer, like himself.
but as things would have it, there were some aberrations in the genetic code
which led me to become a geologist.
i am sure he must be turning happy in his grave today.
i was always an outdoor kid.
being a geologist took me to wilderness
for months on end for twenty five years
and on most evenings i’d end my day hunched over a wood fire
cooking, improvising, experimenting, a couple of rums warming my gut…
and then, after all them years, i hung up my worn-out boots
to lead my life’s experiences to the divine hima.
this audacious menu is a labor of love and took years in the making.
it is ever evolving and never quite complete.
it embodies a whole lot of passion
and is my personal pursuit towards excellence.
there will be,
in moments of restaurant rush
a few minutes here and there in delivering your order
but remember, we cook from scratch.
waiting for your order?
walk up to the terrace, go to the library.
see the photography. go through the poetry.
talk to me…
breathe in the divine hima.
other than the food
the vibes will fill up your tummy!!
bon appétit!!
