What Trishna does

Trishna is a Michelin-starred Indian restaurant located at 15-17 Blandford Street in Marylebone Village, London, founded in 2008 and operated under JKS Restaurants Holdings Limited (UK company number 09667844). The restaurant specialises in contemporary Indian coastal cuisine, drawing on Southwestern Indian coastal traditions including Malabar, Chettinad, and Kerala regional preparations, prepared using tandoor and coastal cooking techniques. Executive Chef Sajeev Nair has led the kitchen since 2012, having joined as Sous Chef, been promoted to Head Chef in April 2013, and to Executive Chef in 2017. The restaurant has held a Michelin Star continuously since 2012, complemented by recognition from the Sustainable Restaurant Association (One Star, Food Made Good Standard 2025) and charitable initiatives including a partnership with St Jude India that has raised £9,733.

The restaurant generates revenue through multiple streams: in-restaurant dining (à la carte, Lunch and Early Evening menus from £35, and four- and five-course Taste of Trishna tasting menus), private dining (the Koliwada Room for 6–12 guests and exclusive hire for 13–60 guests with bespoke menus), home delivery via Deliveroo, takeaway through Slerp, gift cards and curated experiences via GiftPro, and large-scale event catering. Pricing spans £35 for a two-course lunch to £115 for special occasion menus (e.g., Valentine's Day five-course coastal feast). Marketing is event-driven around seasonal campaigns (Diwali, Easter, Valentine's, Kerala Summer, Western Ghats, Mango Festival) and cultural collaborations with partners including Diaspora Spice Co., anatomē, Grandirosa, and Tanqueray 10.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer across dine-in reservations through SevenRooms, delivery via Deliveroo, takeaway via Slerp, and gifting through GiftPro. The restaurant targets affluent diners, food enthusiasts, private event hosts (corporate and celebratory), and seasonal occasion bookers. Customer concentration is distributed across thousands of individual covers; there is no anchor enterprise account. Trishna operates a single site in London with 11–50 employees, led by a long-tenured team including General Manager Preeta Nair, Senior Restaurant Manager Richard (10 years), and Beverage Manager Razvan Dumitrescu (11 years, Harper's Top 50 Sommeliers). Growth is organic and menu-led rather than unit-led, with expansion activity in the data set concentrated on seasonal menus, charity partnerships, and brand collaborations rather than new locations.
