Twice Michellin-starred chef Atul Kochhar is opening his latest restaurant in Wembley Park, the globally renowned entertainment district and 365-day neighbourhood.
The pioneering chef from Jamshedpur, North India who has redefined how people experience Indian cuisine in the UK, will open Masalchi – which means ‘The spice master’ – later this year. The fifth restaurant in the Atul Kochhar Restaurant group, Masalchi celebrates the exotic abundance of India’s spices with a healthy street food menu in a relaxed and sociable setting.
Masalchi will open seven days a week from noon – 10pm with a Pan-Indian menu of the wonderful dishes that Atul discovered at street markets during his gastronomical travels of India. The new restaurant takes pride of place on the corner of Olympic Way and Wembley Park Boulevard, standing between the Olympic Steps, the elegant new entrance to the National Stadium, and the Boulevard’s world-famous retail and fashion brands.
Alongside luxury desserts restaurant Haute Dolci which opened in June, Masalchi represents a further elevation of dining options at Wembley Park, as symbolic of the destination’s transformation under Quintain as that of the Olympic Steps, which replaced a 1970s’ pedestrian walkway that was built to span a coach park that no longer exists.
Atul Kochhar said: “The energy and vibrancy of Wembley Park makes it one of the most exciting places in London right now. Opening my new dining concept in this neighbourhood and destination – a place that benefits from thousands of workers, tens of thousands of residents, and millions of visitors and people living nearby – makes a lot of sense and will be a thrilling next chapter. I can’t wait to see how this neighbourhood inspires what we make in our kitchen.”
