FOUNDERS
Shivika Kothari is from the 5th Generation of KGK Group. Having an established diamond business, she is the first person from her family to have ventured into hospitality with an intention to not only add a new vertical to a much-established business, but also as an avenue of her own where she can add value.
Meraaki Kitchen is Shivika’s first business venture post her graduation. She personally feels that the Indian F&B market is going to go through a huge transformation over the coming years with a transition towards finer ingredients and gourmet food.
By venturing into Meraaki Kitchen she wants to create a space that is above and beyond ordinary and deliver a true everlasting experience for its patrons.
Shivika has been awarded as the Young Female Entrepreneur of the year, Jaipur by Business Insider and Future Leader Award by Coutts Bank London. Her culinary inspiration comes from travelling to new places regularly and exploring different dining experiences.
Neha Deepak Shah’s tryst with cooking began at the young age of 7 (no surprise that her favourite past time was to read cook books). Her culinary passion further evolved when she had the position of first runner up on MasterChef India Season 4!
With less than 1000 flavorists in the world, Neha is one of the very few to have worked with International Flavours and Fragrances (IFF). Her passion for culinary delights is not only a result for her fervour to eat good food but has also been inherited from a childhood spent in her mother’s kitchen. Masterchef India gave her the opportunity to groom her skills finely.
She draws inspiration from Chef Anotonio Bachour, Ferran Adria, Manish Mehrotra, and Heston Blumenthal and loves to experiment with a fusion of techniques and flavours that map out a progressive culinary story. Also infected by a travel bug, Neha loves to travel and research on new culinary trends across the world and capture all the interesting and culinary moments and possessions. Her strength lies in the food innovation, concepts and flavours that she brings into the food.

Bringing the world on a plate to Jaipur
Get swept away to an idyllic world with Meraaki Kitchen – your personal tranquil retreat in the
heart of the pink city. Inspired by nature and set against contemporary rusticsurroundings,
Meraaki Kitchen resonates across cultures for a soulful experience that transforms your time
there.
Meraki [may-rah- kee] (adjective) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing
something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what
you're doing, whatever it may be.
The above definition lies at the depth of this concept brought together by Masterchef India
finalist, Neha Deepak Shah and entrepreneur, Shivika Kothari. Working from the ground up,
they have envisioned a ‘space for your soul’ which is not only minimalistic, subtle and spacious
but also a place beyond just its food and environment. It is your personal refuge – a haven from
the frenzy of the outside world.
The ambience invites you to connect with your surroundings – the low-lounge seating of the
loft, a section for books and board games, or even verdant outdoors that puts you at ease with
yourself. Every space at Meraaki Kitchen is a sanctuary of comfort embodying mind, body and
spirit, whether it is a meal with family, an evening with friends or a celebration of a special
occasion.
This philosophy extends into the menu as well, which reanimates cuisines in vogue - a delight
not only for the palate but a visual treat as well. Your dining experiences are a culmination of
handpicked culinary delights from across the world with a contemporary interpretation.
Apart from being an innovative, young space, Meraaki Kitchen strives to create a personalized
experience for guests - whether it’s through the space or the food that is plated. Going forward,
and keeping in mind its theme, it will also be a space for wellness workshops, art and movie
screenings, connecting communities, and even a platform to raise awareness on causes guided
by values of nurturing and collaboration as a synergistic whole.

5 Reasons to include Wine in your Meal

Not that you need convincing, but here’s why you may consider uncorking a bottle of wine more often. Several studies support the benefits of wine, especially the red one. Overconsumption can be hazardous, but drinking wine in moderation will improve your life and health in a number of ways. Here's how:
Good for your heart
Moderate consumption of wine including white wine lowers the risk of heart failure and improves blood pressure. The plant-antioxidants present in the skin of grapes used to make wine efficiently reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Sharpens your mind
Wine is not only good for your heart but the brain too. The flavanols in wine support healthy blood vessels, leading to an improved blood flow to the brain. This prevents any harmful plaque from developing. Those who drink wine quite regularly are at a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
No fatty liver issues
Drinking wine reduces the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases by half. However, moderation is the key here. Don’t drink too much!
Protection from the sun
According to research conducted by scientists from the University of Barcelona, drinking wine can protect you from severe sunburn by lessening the effects of UV rays. The flavonoids found in wine protect skin cells from damage.
Look fit
Moderate drinkers are less likely to be obese as wine may encourage your body to burn
extra calories for as long as 90 minutes after you are down with a glass of it. People
who drink in moderation daily have lower body mass than those who drink occasionally.
Drink responsibly and enjoy the benefits!
Live longer
Drinking wine is quite relaxing, which lowers stress levels, enhances mood and helps you lead a happier, longer life. Many long-term population studies have linked moderate alcohol consumption to longer life. You also develop healthy behaviours when you drink moderately.
So what's stopping you, stop by for a meal at Meraaki Kitchen with your friends and pair it with a swirly glass of red or white wine of your choice. See you!
