For 32-year old Hitesh Keswani, who owns a chain of restaurants of various formats, success lies in finding the right locations & working with the right people while maintaining a consistently high quality of food and service. For him it's all about interacting with guests over a period of time.
A simple down to earth person, he started as a base-line manager with brands like Mocha and Hawaiian Shack in Mumbai before launching his first outlet called Silver Beach Cafe in Juhu (Mumbai) in 2010. He subsequently went on to open Nom Nom - Versova and Bandra, followed by Copa in 2013, Sirocco and Radio Bar in 2015. Soon after this, Ministry of Salads & The Terrace (both in Mumbai) launched in 2016 followed by his magnum opus project - Estella in Dec 2016; Mumbai's most premium beach facing restaurant and bar. There was no stopping him & he launched Basanti (Mumbai) & The Lazy Goose (Goa) in 2017 followed by Silver Beach Cafe Dubai & Lokhandwala (Mumbai) in 2018.
By the end of 2018, he launched one more ambitious project namely Toro Toro (Goa) and is due to launch Basanti (JBR, Dubai) by mid April. The team is excited & looking forward to launching Basanti this summer at JBR in Dubai & their next mega opening in the third quarter of with a new bar & eatery in South Bombay.
