Samosa Club Berlin is a project spearheaded by Muhammaad Suleman Thakar, the co-founder and executive head chef of Tiffin Berlin, Kukad Braca and Gully Burger. He is joined by Jan Linarić, the co-founder of Metropolitan Transportation Group, and Rohan Vitus Fernandes, an award-winning creative and entrepreneur.
They have combined their expertise to create The Samosa Club, a place where flavors from Pakistan and India meld together to create an enjoyable culinary experience unseen in Europe.
Samosa Club Berlin is unique in that it is influenced by the innovative culinary styles found in the narrow by-lanes of Pakistan and India, and made with a loving sentiment expressed best as Maa ké haat ka khana, a common phraseology in Pakistan and India meaning ‘Food made by one’s mother.’
This is the kind of flavour-rich food Suliman and Rohan grew up with, and Jan experienced and fell in love with when he traveled throughout India and Pakistan.
