Praveen was born and brought up in a rural village in India, where every meal of the day is freshly-made using ingredients grown in local fields. At Tabla, he strives to do the same, sourcing meat, seafood and vegetables from Perthshire wherever possible. His links back to his birthplace are strongly reflected in his carefully-prepared dishes, exclusively using spices grown in his family’s fields in India.

Praveen has gained a great wealth of food and restaurant management skills from his 15 years working at Gleneagles and Turnberry Hotels in Scotland, Sandals Resort in Jamaica and Park Hotels in India.

The hard work from Praveen, his wife Swarna and their team is well recognized by the food and drinks industry, with recent awards including “Outstanding Curry of the year 2018” at Scottish curry awards and “World Cuisine Chef of the year 2018” at Scottish food and drinks awards.
