Leela Ambience Gurgaon overhauls its kitchen team to add more flavours

Leela Ambience, Gurgaon has now overhauled its kitchen team to add more flavours in its kitty. The new team has been joined by Anurag Bhartwal as Executive Pastry Chef, while Executive Sous Chef, Neeraj Rawoot, one of the main stays in the Leela’s huge F&B operations, is now acting Executive Chef and will soon take over officially.

Speaking to one of the media houses, Bhartwal stated that from the past 16 years, he has been rendering his services to Oberoi Hotels. He has worked in various properties from the North to the South of India.

He has been taking classes for children as well as adults in his earlier jobs and now, he is planning to deploy his learning on the newly assigned job.

On the other hand, Rawoot who has been working with Leela from past two years will now take up executive chef position. Elaborating on his role, he commented that he has already been part of the system. Earlier, there was Chef Ramon around to guide him but after he left, Rawoot has been handling multiple operations.
