Signature Restaurant<\/p><\/div>\n

Franchise News India<\/a><\/strong>,Franchise In India<\/a><\/strong>,Ask celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor what his latest Abu Dhabi restaurant<\/a><\/strong> serves, and his answer is simple: \u201cJoy and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kapoor, who is famous for his signature<\/strong> Indian food around the world as well as his appearances on television cooking shows, launched Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor<\/strong> at the Nation Galleria on the Corniche on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is his first in the capital, and the second Signature in the UAE (there is one in Dubai at the Melia Hotel).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of food, what we do here is we give people a taste of India through my eyes. It is food that I\u2019ve grown up with, and it is skewed more towards the north of India but it is Indian food the way India eats today. The roots are traditional but the interpretation is very relevant to today,\u201d Kapoor told tabloid! at the launch.<\/p>\n

Signature, one of many brands by Kapoor, includes all his signature dishes and personal favourites. If you\u2019re visiting for the first time, we highly recommend the lalla mussa dal \u2014 a slow-cooked creamy black lentil stew, which is guaranteed to please vegetarians and carnivores alike.<\/p>\n

Follow that with some butter chicken, and thank us later, as this is not your everyday butter chicken; it\u2019s not greasy at all, the sauce is not too heavy, and it is perfectly seasoned.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can take recommendations from Kapoor himself.<\/p>\n

\u201c[If someone is visiting for the first time,] I think they should try our prawns cooked in coconut, they should try our lamb chops, and biryanis. Our starters from tandoor are also very good,\u201d the chef said.<\/p>\n

But the restaurant is not all about the food. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable about each dish, and there is outdoor seating where the view of the Corniche is absolutely scenic.<\/p>\n

With the launch of his first restaurant in the capital, Kapoor said he was considering bringing some of his other brands to Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever we do one [restaurant]<\/a><\/strong>, it\u2019s not that we want to stop at one, so we may bring other brands into Abu Dhabi. We have The Yellow Chilli, and we have Khazana, among other brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we opened our first restaurant in Dubai, that was 18 years ago, and it has taken us this long to reach Abu Dhabi. I don\u2019t think it will take that long for the next brand to come here. I see that in the next couple of years we would definitely have one more brand here easily,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kapoor added that he has already signed a master franchise to bring The Yellow Chilli<\/a><\/strong> to the UAE.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response in the UAE to our food has been fantastic. We started with one, and now we have five restaurants in Dubai, and we\u2019re opening one more in the next two months. We\u2019re also opening 11 [outlets] for The Yellow Chilli, and people always ask us to [open in new locations],\u201d the Masterchef India host said.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the secret behind Kapoor\u2019s success? He said it was simply about delivering what he believes in and committing to it.
