7 Village · Our story
A place in his heart.
From a village near Kolkata to a table in Canberra, Chef Sahit Sheikh’s story has always been about food and the people it brings together.
The beginning · Kolkata
It began
at home.
Chef Sahit Sheikh’s journey began in a village near Kolkata. The memory of home — its flavours, its generosity, the simple joy of a shared meal — still informs what he brings to the table.
