Years of Culinary Experience

LED BY CHEF ANIL CHAUDHARY AND HIS TEAM, KAFAL BRINGS TOGETHER EXPERIENCE FROM SOME OF CORK’S MOST ACCLAIMED AND AWARD-WINNING RESTAURANTS, DELIVERING A REFINED INDIAN DINING EXPERIENCE ROOTED IN PASSION, QUALITY AND AUTHENTIC FLAVOUR.

Our Story

Two Chefs. One Passion. A New Chapter

Kafal Cork is the latest chapter in the culinary journey of Chef Anil Chaudhary, alongside Chef Kumar, bringing years of experience, passion and a shared love for Indian cuisine to the heart of Cork.

Anil’s career began in India in 2006, where he worked with respected hospitality names including The Bristol Hotel and The Western Group in Gurugram. In 2013, he moved to Dublin and continued his journey with the Jaipur Group, gaining valuable experience in Ireland’s evolving Indian dining scene.

In 2022, Anil opened Ritu in Cork, establishing his own presence in the city and building a reputation for bold flavours and quality Indian cooking.

Now, together with Chef Bomb Kumar, he opens Kafal Cork — his second restaurant, bringing a new identity, new dishes and a fresh expression of Indian cuisine.

At Kafal, the philosophy is simple: respect the roots, embrace the fire and create food worth remembering.
