Kamal’s journey with Dishoom Café started with equal parts courage and creativity. He first approached the team by showcasing his personal portfolio — a mix of cinematic storytelling and visual flair that instantly caught their eye. Instead of pitching with big promises, he simply offered to do a free cinematography shoot, confidently saying, “Let me show you what Dishoom feels like through my lens.” Impressed by his enthusiasm, the team welcomed him in.

With his camera as the storyteller, Kamal captured the heart of Dishoom — chefs passionately crafting every dish, the clatter and rhythm of the kitchen, and the joyful faces of staff serving guests with genuine warmth. The final film wasn’t just a shoot; it was a visual celebration of Dishoom’s soul. When the team watched the finished piece, they were blown away — what began as a bold offer turned into a story so good, it almost deserved a spot on the menu.
