Chef Jay Bhatt

I’m Jay Bhatt, an Amsterdam-based international chef and culinary consultant with more than 10 years of professional experience across India, Poland and the Netherlands.

I currently work as a Food Consultant for Satkara Indian & Nepali Fine Dining in Amsterdam, supporting modern Indian and Nepali cuisine through menu development, recipe refinement, culinary R&D, presentation and consistency.

My culinary journey has taken me through fine-dining restaurants, luxury hotels, private dining and international kitchens, including Michelin-starred environments in Amsterdam. Through my own business, JB Gastronomy, I also create personalised private dining experiences for guests who appreciate quality ingredients, creative flavours and beautiful presentation.

My cooking combines Indian and Nepali roots with international influences, including Japanese, Thai, Mediterranean, Italian and French cuisine. I also have a strong background in seafood and raw-fish preparation. At Secret Garden in Amsterdam, I worked in the raw-fish section, including fish filleting, ceviche, tataki, Bluefin tuna and oysters.

I enjoy creating contemporary dishes that balance flavour, texture, technique and presentation. Vegetarian and vegan cuisine are also important parts of my cooking, and I am happy to adapt menus to individual preferences and dietary requirements.

For private dining, I believe every menu should feel personal. Whether it is an intimate dinner, celebration, tasting menu or special occasion, I create the experience around the guests, their preferences and the atmosphere they want to enjoy.

My goal is simple: to bring the quality and creativity of a fine-dining restaurant into your home, while making the experience relaxed, personal and memorable.

I look forward to creating something special for you.
