About Us - House OF India
At House of India, our story is one of passion, perseverance, and a deep-rooted love for traditional Indian cuisine. Founded by Vijay, whose journey in the food industry began in a small village in Uttarakhand, India, our restaurant is a testament to his lifelong dream of sharing the flavors of his homeland with the people of Canada.
Vijay’s culinary journey started at home, where he discovered his knack for cooking and received praise for his delicious creations from family and friends alike. As word spread about his culinary skills, he began receiving offers to cook at weddings, receptions, and other small events, igniting his passion for the food industry.
With a newfound confidence in his abilities, Vijay embarked on a quest to pursue a career in the culinary world. After completing his schooling in Uttarakhand, he ventured to Chandigarh, Punjab, where he kickstarted his career as a chef’s assistant in a bustling restaurant. It was here that he honed his skills and gained invaluable experience, laying the foundation for his future endeavors.
In 2009, Vijay received a life-changing job offer from Germany, prompting him to leave behind his family in India and embark on a new chapter abroad. Despite the challenges of being away from home, Vijay’s passion for cooking remained unwavering, fueled by his desire to share the rich flavors of Indian cuisine with a global audience.
Today, Vijay’s culinary journey stands as a testament to perseverance, passion, and the universal language of food. From the humble kitchens of Chandigarh to the heart of Germany, his restaurant has become a beloved destination for those seeking an authentic taste of India. Every dish that leaves his kitchen carries with it decades of experience, cultural pride, and a deep respect for traditional recipes passed down through generations. As Vijay continues to innovate while staying true to his roots, the restaurant remains not just a place to dine, but a place to experience the soul of Indian cooking — one plate at a time.
This Recognition from Restaurant Guru reflects our continued commitment to authentic Indian cuisine, warm hospitality, and consistently high standars. Being recommended in 2025 is an honour made possible by our dedicated team and the continued support of our guests.
In 2013, another opportunity arose, this time in Canada. Determined to reunite with his family and pursue his dreams in a new country, Vijay seized the opportunity and relocated to Canada with his loved ones. After securing his permanent residency, he wasted no time in bringing his vision to life, thus House of India was born.
Today, with over 25 years of experience in the culinary industry, Vijay continues to pour his heart and soul into every dish served at House of India. His dedication to preserving the authenticity and integrity of Indian cuisine shines through in each flavorful bite, captivating the palates of diners across Canada.
