Dinner at Marigold Eastchester: Chef Ravi, Incredible Food & The Vibes We Live For
If you’ve ever wondered where to find unforgettable Indian food in Westchester, the kind that hits your soul, feels elevated, and still somehow feels like home. Let me put you on to Marigold in Eastchester. I’ve been here multiple times, even hosted a media dinner, and every single time I leave thinking, yup… they did it again.
But what really makes Marigold special isn’t just the stunning plating or the cozy ambiance — it’s Chef Ravi
Chef Ravi: The Heart & Flavor Behind Marigold
Marigold has a mission: make Indian cuisine feel authentic, approachable, and seriously delicious. And that vision comes straight from Chef-Entrepreneur Ravi.
He grew up surrounded by the aromas of real Indian kitchens — spices being toasted, dough being rolled, stories being passed down. After years of training with culinary masters, traveling across India, and getting hands-on with every regional flavor (North, South, East, West), he brought that passion right here to Eastchester.
And honestly, you can taste the love in every bite.
What Chef Ravi brings to the table:
Authenticity with a twist — traditional recipes upgraded with modern techniques
Real ingredients — fresh herbs, high-quality spices, slow-braised meats, house-made breads
Balance — heat, richness, texture, aromatics… nothing is ever overpowering
Creativity — familiar classics elevated in a way that feels new, fun, and totally addictive
He’s not just “a chef.” He’s a storyteller. And Marigold is his canvas.
must try! Beet arancini – crispy, vibrant, and basically the definition of a perfect starter
Butter chicken – silky, rich, and honestly… top tier
Lamb chops with pineapple chutney – tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated
Smoked eggplant burrata – a genius fusion moment
Fresh naan & hand-rolled breads – soft, warm, and impossible to resist
And don’t leave without dessert. Trust me. Whether it’s mango panna cotta, malai kulfi, or a seasonal special, it always hits the spot.
This is the kind of spot where you order one thing… then immediately start planning your next visit so you can try the rest.
