About this listen

Chef Ashwin Vilkhu opens his dream restaurant - The Kingsway - in New Orleans. It is a modern prix fixe restaurant that features the chef’s interpretation of the foods of Asia. We discuss opening a restaurant in these times. When and how you know it’s right for the restaurant, the staff, and the diners.

Born in India, Chef Vilkhu grew up in New Orleans, absorbing not only the vibe and flavors of the city, but the eclectic culinary attitudes of his family. His father, Chef Arvinder Vilkhu and his mother, Pardeep Vilkhu, have been exciting the taste buds of New Orleans for years. They opened Saffron NOLA, with Chef Ashwin. It is twice nominated for James Beard Foundation awards. Listen, it’s on Tip of the Tongue.

Arvinder and Ashwin Vilkhu
