Executive Chef & Culinary Visionary
Guided by Chef Rahman, whose 32 years of experience mastering world cuisines shape every creation, Loya brings a refined and modern expression of Indian flavour to life. His deep knowledge of traditional techniques, combined with a flair for innovation, ensures each dish is crafted with precision, balance and a global perspective.
Chef Rahman’s dedication transforms every plate into a composed, memorable experience — one that reflects both his mastery and his lifelong commitment to the art of cooking.
Born in a small village near Kolkata and shaped by kitchens across India, Dubai and Ireland, Chef Rahman brings more than three decades of experience to Loya. His cooking is grounded in discipline, memory and a precise understanding of flavour.
Every plate reflects A Modern Expression of Indian Flavour. Traditional techniques learned throughout his journey are refined with modern precision, creating food that feels honest, balanced and deeply focused.
A defining chapter in Rahman’s growth came under the mentorship of Chef Sandeep at The Westbury. Working beside him sharpened his technique, discipline and approach to contemporary Indian cuisine. Those lessons continue to shape the calm, purposeful style that defines Loya.
His philosophy is simple: respect the ingredient, trust the fire, and add nothing without intention. The result is an experience shaped by heritage, delivered with clarity and quiet confidence.
