As an executive chef, I have a very hands on approach to food, getting involved with the nuts and bolts, possessing great business acumen, full of passion, creative air, and an excellent understanding of the Kuwaiti market and its consumer needs. With outstanding culinary experiences and very strong interpersonal skills, I’m engaged and lead with consistency, integrity and teamwork ensuring that the food and beverage P&Ps are known, understood and maintained. As a team leader, I have the ability to establish, maintain and promote strategic relationships that extend the horizon of the business with various divisions, departmental directors, franchises, business partners and associates. Through my experience, I have received great international exposure, gained an appreciation of world ethnic cuisines, diverse food cultures using fresh, healthy and seasonal produce. I bring a fresh approach to food, eager to imprint new avours, developed and implemented new business concepts, attractive o erings and products which have translated in increased sales and better revenue channels.
My life revolves around people of di erent cultures who are just as passionate about food as I am. I have a constant commitment, desire, enthusiasm and interest to produce delicious food. My goal is to be part of an engaged and successful team that focuses on the use of premium quality ingredients and ensuring that the tradition of great cooking continues. COVID-19 & FOOD
The e ects of the COVID-19 pandemic on food services and systems worldwide have been unprecedented. No aspect of food systems has been left una ected. I am deeply committed to support our industry more than ever for a better transition and for positive change through this crisis. Actively engaged in rich conversations and collaborations with other chefs from businesses that have been deeply impacted by this pandemic and worldwide shift. As a chef I have taken a leading role during the global impact of COVID-19, to educate my team for the reopening of our restaurants, about Community service, systems change and knowledge.
I hope what comes out of this is we build more respect for all the people involved in the food and agriculture system and that we realise how important they are. This time gives us a lot of opportunity to gure out how to put more emphasis on a sustainable food and agricultural system that is resilient. Food although sustenance and nutrition has a connective social and economic force. The repercussions of COVID-19 have deeply illuminated how indebted we are as individuals and communities to people across the spectrum of food production and services. A leading international franchise operator, Alshaya Group brings great shopping, dining and leisure experiences. Alshaya Group is a dynamic multinational business and family owned enterprise with a consistent record of growth and innovation.
Ishreen is the restaurant for all the associates of the Alshaya community. With an average 1000 covers for both breakfast and lunch, Ishreen also o ers retail and freshly prepared healthy grab and go items. My responsibilities are to oversee Deli & the Burj catering facilities, for the various divisions and the executive oors.
20 Ishreen is not just a new sta restaurant, it is a new dining experience. From the moment the guest enters they will be greeted by the team with the sights, sounds and smells of a busy food court with an open kitchen and lots of di erent o erings including live theatre cooking stations covering Asian, Western, Arabic, Italian and Indian. Together with my team of 40, we are very passionate about what we serve to the community.
