Our Story

Crafted with Passion

A family legacy, a culinary vision, a place called home.

Head Chef & Founder

Chef Arjun Mehta

Born in the kitchens of Jaipur and trained across Paris, Tokyo, and New York, Chef Arjun Mehta returned to India with a singular vision — to create a dining experience that honours classical technique while celebrating the extraordinary diversity of Indian ingredients.

After 15 years working under three Michelin-starred chefs, he opened Aurum in 2018. Today it is recognised as one of Mumbai's most beloved fine dining destinations.
