Anand relaunched a slightly altered version of his restaurant in a new location in late 2019 following multiple incarnations of his Bangkok eatery, which had previously been voted No. 1 in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants a record four times. In 2023, the restaurant triumphantly returned to the list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, exhibiting Anand’s ever-changing and innovative cuisine.
Gaggan’s modern Indian cuisine presents a riotous explosion of colours and textures on its more than 20-course menu. The menu brings hints of street food and traditional dishes as well as global inspirations from Thailand, France, and Japan. Sommeliers dispense natural wines to enhance the immersive experience, which seats just 14 people at a counter facing an open kitchen. The dining experience is a spectacular culinary adventure not to be missed in Bangkok. Here, promptness is rewarded with pre-dinner cocktails and communal dining encourages a sense of shared delight. It takes place amid thumping music and interactive surprises like fireworks and unplanned challenges.
Chef Anand’s culinary philosophy revolves around pushing boundaries, challenging preconceptions, and inviting guests on a gastronomic journey like no other.

Located in the heart of Bangkok, Gaggan has long been a beacon of innovation and excellence, captivating diners with its avant-garde approach to food. His culinary creations are not merely meals but stories told through food. With familiar flavours, Chef Gaggan has a talent for presenting them in novel ways. An instance of this ethos was embodied in the meal’s lively and interactive “Lick It Up” dish.
Moreover, the newest Gaggan at Louis Vuitton is the ultimate luxury brand Frankenstein’s creature. It recently threw open its monogrammed doors in central Bangkok and features a Thai x French cuisine designed by the chef.
What still makes him unique is his penchant for pushing limits, questioning conventions, and forging emotional connections through food. As diners from around the world flock to experience the magic of Gaggan, Chef Anand’s culinary legacy continues to inspire and delight.
