We are conducting a search for an ambitious and visionary Executive Chef to join a growing, chef-driven hospitality group redefining modern Indian cuisine in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is a rare opportunity for a culinary leader ready to own the kitchen—not inherit it—with full creative license over menu development and the ability to shape the culinary identity of an emerging concept.


We are seeking a driven, entrepreneurial chef with a deep respect for Indian cuisine and a bold point of view. The ideal candidate is hungry to lead, eager to build a high-performing team, and motivated by the pursuit of culinary excellence, recognition, and long-term brand impact.


What you bring to the table:

  • Previous culinary leadership experience within an elevated Indian cuisine concept
  • Strong command of inventive menu development rooted in technique and creativity
  • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire kitchen teams while setting high standards of execution
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build, evolve, and elevate a culinary program from the ground up
  • Passion for excellence with long-term aspirations toward Michelin-level or nationally recognized accolades
  • Strong understanding of how culinary vision intersects with brand storytelling
  • New restaurant opening experience is a plus
  • Prior experience working under a Michelin-starred or James Beard Award–recognized chef is highly valued


Why you’ll love working here:

  • Full creative ownership of the menu and culinary direction
  • Opportunity to build a kitchen culture and culinary identity from inception
  • A platform to pursue national recognition within a modern Indian dining concept
  • Supportive ownership group that values ambition, innovation, and chef-led leadership
  • The chance to leave a meaningful culinary legacy while growing alongside the brand
