AARKUL – Kulbeer Bhandari’s Culinary Success Story
After graduating with a degree in Life Science, Kulbeer Bhandari’s journey took an unexpected turn in 2004 when he took a temporary job in a restaurant kitchen. What began as a simple way to earn a living soon turned into a deep passion for cooking. Captivated by the art of culinary creation, Kulbeer decided to pursue formal training and enrolled in a culinary school in India, where he earned his Diploma in Food Production.
Over the years, Kulbeer honed his skills by working in various restaurants and prestigious star-category hotels across India. His dream, however, was always to open his own restaurant—a place where he could share his love for the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine.
Destiny led him to Cedar, where he realized this dream by opening AARKUL. Drawing on his vast experience and deep knowledge of regional Indian dishes, Kulbeer now brings the rich and varied flavors of India to Nanaimo, offering a culinary experience that showcases the best of Indian cuisine from every corner of the country.
