A Culinary Legend with Heart, Heritage & Soul
With a lifelong passion for food, creativity, and community, our Executive Chef is far more than a
culinary professional — he’s a storyteller, an artist, and a cultural ambassador.
His journey with food began early in life and has blossomed into a legacy that has helped shape
Melbourne’s Indian dining landscape for over three decades.
A true pioneer, Mr. Jasmail is the legendary founder and creative force behind some of Victoria’s
most iconic Indian restaurants. For 15 years, he led the renowned Curry Club Richmond,
cementing its place as a staple in Melbourne’s food scene. His culinary journey also includes
founding or helming a distinguished lineup of restaurants, each infused with his hallmark
authenticity, warmth, and bold flavors:
1. Fiji Indian Restaurant – Footscray
2. Hot Gossip – Boronia
3. Curry Club – Richmond

4. South Melbourne, Clock Mount (South Australia)
5. Mumbai Masala – Doncaster
6. Suvera Indian Restaurant – Lilydale

7. Curry Bazar – Hawthorn
8. Cinnamon Club – Cheltenham
9. Curry Club – Achooka
10. Phulwari
11. Chatni Merry – Richmond
12. Curry Mancha – Richmond
13. Ghazal – Fairfield
Expert in both North and South Indian cuisine, Chef is celebrated for his ability to craft dishes that
are rich in flavor, heritage, and heart. But his talents extend far beyond the kitchen.
Outside the culinary world, he is a multi-dimensional artist — a poet, songwriter, and musician who
plays the traditional Tumbi. His creativity flows seamlessly from his recipes to his verses and
melodies.
A proud father of two and a devoted dog dad, Chef is cherished for his infectious laughter,
extroverted spirit, and magnetic personality. Whether he’s composing a new dish or penning a
heartfelt poem, his joy for life and love for his craft are at the heart of everything he does.
This is more than just a chef’s biography — it’s the unfolding story of a man who lives and breathes
flavor, creativity, and love. Every dish he serves is not just a meal — it’s a piece of his soul, his
history, and his journey.
