"A Two MICHELIN Star restaurant in Bangkok, led by Chef Garima Arora, the first female Indian chef to achieve this honor." - admin
"Garima Arora of Gaa restaurant is perhaps the most successful female Indian chef today. She became the first Indian woman to receive a MICHELIN Star in 2018 and won the MICHELIN Guide Young Chef Award in 2023. Recently, she made history as the first female Indian chef to lead a team to achieve two MICHELIN Stars. She is involved in Food Forward India and is a judge on India's MasterChef show. She manages all this while being a new mother." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng
"Gaa's setting reflects Chef Garima Arora's culinary style: blending tradition with modern techniques. Garima personally serves a tasting menu inspired by her Indian heritage, featuring inventive street food reinterpretations. Her assured and skilful cooking showcases precisely balanced spicing, remarkable flavour combinations, and delightful texture and temperature contrasts." - Michelin Inspector
"Rank: #93 "Garima Arora, the first Indian female chef to earn a Michelin star, is on a mission. Applying Indian techniques to Thai ingredients, her restaurant Gaa is home to showstopping dishes – crab served with warm macadamia milk curry, and chutoro betel leaf with green chilli chutney from the coast – and is changing perceptions of Indian food."
"Rank: #46 "Inspired by her father’s home cooking as a child, Mumbai-born Garima Arora recognised her calling as a chef at a young age. Most notably, she spent two years in Copenhagen cooking at one of the world’s most respected restaurants, Noma. Prior to opening Gaa, she was ensconced at Gaggan Anand’s now closed Bangkok restaurant, which held the No.1 position in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants for four consecutive years. Gaa’s debut on the list in 2019 was a double success for Arora, who was voted as winner of the Asia’s Best Female Chef Award, while her restaurant also received the Highest New Entry Award."
