Kuldeep Singh
Executive Chef- Origin India, Las Vegas
Origin India Restaurant and Bar’s Executive Chef, Kuldeep Singh, is a seasoned kitchen veteran who has extensive experience working for some of the world's finest resorts and restaurants in Ireland, England and India. Born in Meerut, India (about 40 miles northeast of New Delhi), Chef Singh’s expertise does not end with his knowledge of Indian cuisine, but is rather a reflection of his world experience, showcasing Asian-Indian food with a modern and refined flare.
Chef Singh has the finest training one can receive in India, graduating from The Institute Of Hotel Management in his hometown of Meerut (about 40 miles northeast of New Delhi) before going to work for two of the nation’s luxury five-star hotel and resort groups including The Oberoi Hotel & Resort Group and the Taj Group of Hotels. From India he moved to London where he worked in one of Raja’s fine dining restaurants, Origin Asia, and further practiced the art of preparing refined cuisine. His approach is one of style and flare, respecting his country’s flavor profiles and food, but presenting it with his own unique approach.
“I love the food from my country, its spices, herbs and flavors that are native to my hometown of Meerut and the other regions where I trained professionally including Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai,” Chef Singh said. “But what I serve is very different than other Indian food found in Las Vegas. I stay true to the flavors and spices I grew up with, though I tone down the heat, and instead focus more on taste and texture combinations to create a modern interpretation of Indian cuisine.”
Examples of these dishes include filo-wrapped fresh Atlantic ‘black pearl’ sea scallops in lime and chili, crisp fried with beetroot and olive chutney; roasted striped bass marinated in coriander, cumin and lime zest served on sautéed garlic spinach with coriander vinaigrette and red pepper extract; and Rogan Josh New Zealand lamb shank with sun dried ginger, tomato and Kashmiri chili served with saffron rice.
