Adhira Swamy’s kitchen takeover Curate at On The Rocks features intriguing dishes that highlight luxurious produce sourced from all across India
It is rare for Adhira Swamy to helm a restaurant’s lunch or dinner service. The 25-year-old culinary consultant, who helps caterers plan menus and pairings, has taken over the kitchen of On The Rocks, kicking off the second edition of the restaurant’s Curate series on Thursday.
