The cuisine has also evolved as an undisputed sub-culture that is their own. House Of Mandarin is a subtle homage to the glorious ancestry of Chinese food in India. You will find the distinct nuances of the very authentic taste that has become an integral part of their cuisine today. And what’s more? House Of Mandarin is spearheaded by the well-renowned and gifted restaurateur, chef, author, and founder & CEO of The Chocolate Spoon Company, Rachel Goenka who runs a series of award-winning restaurants and patisseries in India, namely Sassy Spoon and Sassy Teaspoon.

Shedding a light on the vision for HOM in the upcoming years and the determination behind making it a national brand, Rachel Goenka, elaborated, “There has been an increase in fun pan Asian dining spaces, with small plates becoming more of a focus creatively. So, we wanted to establish an innovative Pan-Asian, high-energy dining space where there’s a focus on craft cocktails and delicious food.
