 Simran Singh Thapar has been appointed as executive chef at JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort and Spa. He is on a quest to offer guests an extraordinary dining experience. Staying true to his roots, he is an expert in Indian and regional cuisines and enjoys cooking the same for his guests. His forte lies in crafting innovative creations and successfully infusing different cuisines to create the perfect blend of unique flavours in conventional dishes.
Thapar started his career in the Merchant Navy as a navigation officer, and soon discovered that being a sailor was not his true calling. He realised he was deeply inspired and influenced by his maternal uncle who was a chef, and decided to follow in his footsteps. Starting off as an assistant kitchen manager to achieving the position of executive chef at The Oberoi Motor Vessel Vrinda, Kerala, he has truly come a long way.
With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, this is his principal association with Marriott International, and he plans to apply his skill set to consistently maintain guest satisfaction. Prior to his recent positioning, he headed the culinary operations at The Roseate - Bird Group New Delhi, in the capacity of an executive chef.
Thapar’s keenness to provide gourmet experiences through personalised attention, appeals to his diverse audience and his outstanding guest reviews are a testimony to the great foundation he has set.
While at The Roseate, he bagged an award in the Luxurious North Indian Cuisine in a Five-star category for Kheer by Hindustan Times Hall of Fame 2019. Additionally, he was felicitated for Exceptional Fine Dining Restaurant in a Five-star (also at The Roseate) for Chini, by Hindustan Times Hall of Fame 2019.
Thapar’s culinary skills has been appreciated by many national and international dignitaries. During his tenure as the executive chef at Maidens Hotel by The Oberoi Group, he was applauded by Congressman Jack Kingston from Georgia First District after he had crafted a lunch experience for the Council team at The Curzon Room.
On the chef’s appointment, Sunil Kumar, the property’s director of food and beverages, said, “We are very glad to have such an experienced chef taking on the reigns of all our restaurants at JW Marriott Mussoorie.”
“We would like to welcome him on board and are excited to witness the modifications he brings about at the hotel. Our property can use his leadership skills, effective planning, unique approach to guest management and tactful execution skills that have ensured his benchmark performance as a chef. We extend our full support, and under his expert guidance, we are sure to excel,” he added.
Thapar’s work philosophy is all about the right ingredients and the right cooking techniques. On the new development, he said, “I am eagerly looking forward to work closely with the Marriott International family.”
“And being a nature lover, using the fresh and organic ingredients in the in-house green house at JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort and Spa, is what I am looking forward to the most,” Thapar added.
In his spare time, he ardently enjoys gardening and believes and not only acts as his stress-buster, but also immensely contributes to his culinary innovations. Thapar has a huge collection of Kishore Kumar’s albums, and his preferred choice for karaoke is any of his hits.
