Mar21236 CGA Catering Best Customised Wedding Catering Food Provider – New York clients. Pleasing a diverse, international clientele requires hard work and dedication, which CGA tirelessly offers. Chef Gaurav Anand is one of the youngest restauranteurs in New York City and owner of three critically acclaimed and internationally recognised restaurants within the city: Bhatti Indian Grill, Moti Mahal Delux and Awadh. He has been named the “Best Caterer in New York” by NY Magazine in 2021 and praised by numerous media outlets for the authenticity and innovation he brings to Indian cuisine, including two Star reviews by The New York Times. He has created sold out dinners at the prestigious James Beard Foundation and Awadh was rated the best Indian restaurant in NYC by Village Choice. Chef Anand has also been featured on numerous television appearances, including Good Day New York (Fox5), Dining Deal with Tony Tantillo (CBS NY), The Best Thing I Ever Ate (Cooking Channel), Neighborhood Eats with Lauren Glassberg (ABC 7) and many more. A spark that ignited on his first trip to visit his then girlfriend, now wife, in New York City in 2006 created the realisation that it was the place to build his career as it was at the epicentre of a multi-cultural hotspot, a city that has numerous Indian restaurants, but nothing that would set them apart in the way that he had envisioned. He had a lot to learn about the envi-ronment, the culture and above all, the food and hospitality industry, which is very competitive. He kept his head down, his chin high, and kept moving on. He had high goals ahead of him and knew the sky was the limit. The look on people’s faces when they tuck into one of his creations is priceless, and it makes all of his hard work and struggles worth it.
