Zorawar Kalra goes Asian with new restaurant

If you thought that Zorawar Kalra only had eyes for Indian food, think again. The makers of dining destinations like Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra, Made in Punjab and Farzi Café just added another restaurant to their repertoire. Pa Pa Ya, Kalra says, is a modern Asian bistro and tapas bar, using molecular gastronomy. What sets it apart? Kalra says, "Asian cuisine, like Indian, is robust.

It hasn't seen much innovation in India and is recognised through localised versions across the country. The places which offer innovative Asian food are restricted to five star hotels, at prices that are unaffordable. With Pa Pa Ya, we aim to reinvent the way Asian food has been looked at." Currently they are still doing food trials but Pa Pa Ya is set for a soft launch in the next few weeks at Palladium Mall in south Mumbai.
