From 2015 until now, Karyna Bajaj has made four trips to Thailand, each proving to be more intriguing than the last. "Thai cuisine has whet my appetite like no other. It's enough reason to warrant another overseas journey," laughs the 24-year-old executive director of KA Hospitality. It was back in 2011, that the group made its debut with Hakkasan Mumbai becoming the city's first Michelin-starred eatery followed by Yauatcha, a London-based dim sum teahouse. Now, they are set to open Nara Thai, one of Thailand's premier restaurants, in BKC. "There was no other place I could think of," she says when we meet her ahead of the September 11 launch.
