It is hard for a manager to shine in a chef-driven restaurant. But if
you ask me, the spirit of Diva, Ritu Dalmia’s flagship Italian
restaurant in GK II, is not Ritu herself but the quietly competent Niju
Varghese, Delhi’s best restaurant manager.
When I go to Diva now, I don’t care if Ritu is around (her kitchen runs on auto-pilot) but the evening is never the same if Niju is off. He runs the dining room with a silent flair, never drawing attention to himself but never relaxing either, always keeping a watch on tables to ensure that no guest goes home disappointed.
