Chefs on the Move: Gaurav Bathla
“This former head chef at Ambassadors Clubhouse in New York has moved over to Passerine, the elegant Indian restaurant in the Flatiron district. He will revamp the menu and craft a more “bistro style” of service with composed plates instead of the usual Indian family style presentation with dishes to be shared.”

— Florence Fabricant, Off The Menu, The New York Times

“Passerine 2.0: Flatiron’s vibrant Indian destination, Passerine is undergoing an evolution, with Chef Gaurav Bathla (formerly of Ambassador’s Clubhouse) taking over the kitchen starting September 10. The restaurant will open seven days a week, and feature an à la carte menu of creative Indian bistro-style dishes.”

“One week after receiving a New York Times review, Gaurav Bathla, the head chef of New york’s very difficult-to-get-into Ambassadors Clubhouse, is leaving the restaurant to move to Passerine, where he’ll overhaul the menu.”
