Our story is shaped by passion, heritage, and a vision to redefine how Indian cuisine is experienced in the UK. Led by our Head Chef, Amit Kumar Sharma, The Lansdowne brings together decades of international culinary expertise with a deep respect for authentic flavours.
Chef Amit’s journey began in India in 2000, where he developed a strong foundation in traditional cooking techniques and regional Indian gastronomy. Throughout his career, he has worked across Dubai, France, Turkey, and India, gaining global experience that influences his refined yet authentic approach to cooking. He has collaborated with prestigious hospitality brands including Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts and Jal Hotels in Dubai, Oberoi Hotels in India, Park Plaza in India, and Jaypee Palace Agra, shaping his high standards for quality and innovation. For the past 15 years, he has also been an important part of the renowned Mother India family in Glasgow, further strengthening his creative vision for modern Indian dining.
Now settled in the UK, Chef Amit leads The Lansdowne with a clear mission: to transform and elevate Indian cuisine while staying true to its roots. Since opening our doors in 2019, The Lansdowne has become a destination where tradition meets innovation — offering guests refined dishes, bold flavours, and a contemporary dining experience inspired by Chef Amit’s remarkable journey.
At The Lansdowne, every plate tells a story — of travel, culture, and a lifelong dedication to the art of Indian cooking.
