Banker turns restaurateur to bring Latin America cuisine in Mumbai

A Marol resident gives up the corporate ladder, backpacks around Latin America and lands in a Bandra kitchen to serve you true-to-street arepas

The arepa, which started it all, is a Colombian burger and is available at rates starting at Rs 349
Ujwala Bhat's transition from banker to chef to restaurateur began the same way most perfectionists start doing chores that would be easily done by others - the "I-can't-trust-anyone-else-to-do-it-right-so-I-will-do-it-myself" start plug. Fortunately for us, Bhat, 29, was craving an arepa inside a glass building in Mumbai.
Realising that the craving couldn't be satisfied in this city, which hasn't moved beyond burritos, at least where Latin American cuisine is concerned, Bhat in 2017, did the next best thing: quit her job and travelled across Latin America to learn their cuisine and bring it back to Mumbai. That's cutting the long story very short, but we will add some details.
