How it all started : My idol and inspiration behind cooking was ignited by my grandmother. She was a fantastic cook. I was always fond of all Gujrati desserts she used to make as Prasad for God.
?m\It all started when I was 12 years old and my grandmother asked me to make Dosa for her and serve her hot. It wasn’t round but had enough love and focus to be greeted with joy by my grandmother and that is how it all hp[started.
I started taking interest in cooking and understanding the food and its flavours. Despite completing my graduation, I still had a soft corner for food as a career.
My parent’s encouragement helped me in attempting B.Sc. Hospitality studies and I succeeded very well and my career as a hotelier officially started.

Pizza:
After 18 trials of pizza dough recipes, we were able to develop a pizza base dough which is super light and fluffy on the inside and deliciously crusty from the outside.
This dream pizza base is a banger made from authentic Italian flour also known as 00′ flour.
Staying true to our motto of authenticity, our pizzas are baked on a limestone to develop the earthy flavour which adds a key richness to it.

I am Dhairya Shah, a chef by passion, an adventurer of flavours and owner of Thew Pueblo Gourmet. Like any Gujarati boy, my journey started in Commerce but soon I found my calling.
After completing graduation in B. Com & Diploma in GNIIT Business management, I started pursuing the Hospitality course at Kohinoor College. I was fortunate to then do my industrial training from Vivanta By Taj at Cuff Parade.
My hunger of exploring global culture food took me to the UK where I completed my MA in Culinary Arts Management. With my studies I decided to gain some industrial experience. I started working at NOVOTEL (Accor group of hotels).
The 18 months I worked here and exploring food in UK with different culture and people, it taught me the necessary skills with which I was able to open my own cloud kitchen named Thew Pueblo Gourmet (TPG).
