We are hiring: Head Chef / Brand Head Chef – Sorano Mumbai

Sorano is opening in Mumbai, and we are looking for a robust culinary leader to head the kitchen for our new restaurant.

This is a serious opening role.

We are looking for someone who can lead a premium Italian / modern European kitchen with discipline, taste, calmness, and ownership.

The role requires someone who can:
Lead the opening kitchen for Sorano Mumbai
Execute and evolve a strong Italian-led menu
Maintain consistency, prep discipline, plating, hygiene, and service standards
Work closely with the Group Culinary Director and founders on menu, product development, training, and guest feedback
Build, train, and lead a strong kitchen team
Understand food cost, wastage, recipe cards, ordering, and kitchen systems




Bring contemporary thinking without losing comfort, generosity, and flavour
Handle high-pressure service without chaos

We are not looking for only a “creative chef” or only an “operations chef”.

We are looking for someone who can do both: cook beautifully and run a kitchen properly.

Prior experience in premium restaurants, Italian / European kitchens, high-volume service, restaurant openings, or robust independent restaurants will be valued.
