Chakra Get Their Global Gong

Paddington, Jay & Shan SUN15OCT23

t must get a little dizzying for the Chef Dinesh and the rest of the Chakra crew down at Greystones whenever they get a new award.

Dizzying because there have been so many over the years, and even GG sometimes has to hit good old Google to find out who, what, where and why the latest has arrived.

Campbell’s scoop

This week, it’s the Global Cuisines Award 2023, winging its way to Greystones from food critic Georgina Campbell, the president of the Irish Food Writers’ Guild, and the brains behind Ireland’s longest-running Hospitality Awards.

So, this one’s a big deal, kids.

“Every one of these awards is a big deal,” says Chef Dinesh. “It’s an increasingly crowded market out there when it comes to places to eat – just look at the growth of restaurants in Greystones alone.

“So, to be recognised at such a competitive time is indeed an honour.”

All that gang’s here…

Having won just about every major award available, it’s good to see the Chakra gang still genuinely thrilled with a new gong. And clearly so very, very grateful.

“We have a deep love of what we do,” finishes Dinesh, “and we take great pride in our food too. So, we’re always striving for better, always pushing ourselves to reach new heights…”

It’s a cunning plan that seems to be working. You can find out more about Chakra here.
