Gaja by Sashi
4/86 Pirie Street
Adelaide 5000
Hi guys! A few weeks ago I attended the Launch of Gaja by Sashi in Adelaide. Hands up all the Masterchef fans! You'll remember Sashi Cheliah as the Winner of Season 10 of Masterchef Australia, and what a deserving winner he was. Sashi had a vision of opening a small cafe in Adelaide, but after being crowned the winner, this dream changed to what we have today, a fully fledged restaurant with bar, in the heart of the Adelaide.
GAJA in sanskrit means 'elephant', which symbolises strength, wisdom, royalty and solidarity in Hindu culture. This is apt given that Sashi's food is bold and bursting with robust flavour! With dishes on the Gaja menu spanning Indian, Singaporean and Malaysian cuisines, there's sure to be something to suit all tastes. You can check out the menu here.
Sashi's background in law enforcement is evident, with the birdcage section of the restaurant dedicated to rehabilitation. Also on display is his famed Masterchef white jacket, a bit of nostalgia for you to check out when you go and visit! Gaja by Sashi is open for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday. Follow them on Instagram to keep up to date!
Also keep an eye out in Woolworths for Sashi's new line of Home Chef Kits called Sashi's Secret. The Sweet and Sour Pork and the Singaporean Chilli Prawn both sound delicious and I can't wait to give them a go!
Many thanks to Girl About Town for the invitation.
