Prasad
Chirnomula,
Before coming to the
United States in 1985, he had become director of
Food & Beverage at the Ritz Hotel in Hyderabad,
where he managed a work force of 250 employees at
the tender age of 22. Prior to opening the first
Thali® in New Canaan, CT, Chirnomula owned and
operated six restaurants (with partners) in Darien,
Litchfield, Stamford, Port Chester, New Rochelle and
Massachusetts. Now a 20-year Fairfield County
resident, Chirnomula has a commitment to the
creation of imaginative dishes based on traditonal
Indian standards. His vision and energy and his
committment to charitable institutions like the
Liver Institute have made him a star in the
Connecticut restaurant world. Chirnomula's
innovative and imaginative food has become the toast
of normally restrained suburban audiences and has
earned him ecstatic reviews in dozens of newspapers
and magazines. After successfully opening his third
Thali® restaurant in New Haven in June of 2006, he
was dubbed, "...the most exciting Indian chef in the
United States," by David Rosengarten in the
prestigious Rosengarten Report.Website -
