Guru is known for its authentic Indian cuisine, and their new eatery promises to bring a “fresh, premium experience to Belfast’s vibrant restaurant scene”. Gourav Barot & Davinder Malik are the figures behind the venture which is located at Wellington Place in the city centre, with the restaurant space designed by local designer Ann Hamilton of Hamilton Interiors. At the helm of the kitchen is chef Dhingra, whose resume includes a decade with the Oberoi Hotel group, where he honed his craft in both India and Egypt.
The chef has curated a menu that promises to be authentically Indian but with a modern twist. Classic dishes like Chicken Bhuna and Jalfrezi sit alongside a variety of vegetarian options, while diners can also savour lesser-known, authentic dishes rarely seen in Northern Ireland, such as 'Kala Chana Samosa Chaat' and 'Awadhi Nalli Gosht.' Complementing the food is an extensive wine list and a signature cocktail menu.
Speaking about the Belfast launch, founder and director Gourav Barot expressed his excitement: "We are absolutely thrilled to finally open our doors in Belfast. "It’s an exciting time for the city, and we’re proud to be joining such a prestigious dining community in this side of the city, alongside restaurants like Home, Edo, and Yugo. "Our vision has always been to bring a premium Indian cuisine offering, and we believe Guru will be a wonderful addition to this part of the city.
" Gourav went on to discuss the decision to expand into Belfast:.
