In the early 1970s, Kamal and Sudha Mehra established their first restaurant in Canada, which later evolved into the East India Company Restaurants, known for exceptional fine-dining experiences and a dedication to North Indian cuisine.
The Mehra family’s culinary legacy includes a unique Garam Masala spice blend and dishes crafted from recipes dating back five generations, served in an atmosphere enriched with South Asian art and antiques. The family’s commitment to hospitality is carried on by Sudha Mehra and her children, who manage the restaurants’ operations and uphold the tradition of serving high-quality Indian cuisine. Key family members, including Sachit, Anish, Divya, and Nitin Mehra, contribute their diverse skills to the business, from management to culinary arts, ensuring the continued success and growth of the East India Company. The Mehras and their dedicated staff invite diners to experience the rich flavors and cultural heritage of India through their restaurants in Winnipeg and Ottawa.
