The Crossing Indian Bistro in Paris Expands to the French Riviera in Nice, France on 26 January

Signature dishes such as Butter Chicken, prepared with careful balance, and the historic Railway Lamb Curry, inspired by recipes once served on long-distance train routes, reflect this approach. Fragrant biryanis, chaat-inspired plates, and house-made chutneys invite guests to explore beyond the expected, supported by ethically sourced and GI-tagged ingredients that reinforce the brand’s commitment to quality and provenance.

Behind the concept is Chef Ankur Chakraborty, a chef-entrepreneur with over two decades of international experience across India, the Middle East, and Europe. Known for championing regional Indian cuisine in modern settings, he believes Indian food deserves representation on the global dining stage beyond familiar stereotypes. His work has also extended to select official events at the Indian Embassy in Paris, where The Crossing has presented Indian gastronomy in diplomatic and cultural settings.

Design remains central to the experience. Conceived by designer Mickaël Gouret, both locations blend contemporary French sensibilities with Indian craft traditions, featuring handcrafted brassware from Moradabad, artisan pottery from New Delhi, and bespoke furnishings that create warm, immersive spaces.

Part of LemonButter Investments, co-founded by Chef Chakraborty and Abhishek Joshi, The Crossing’s Nice opening marks an important step in the group’s European growth, reinforcing its mission to bridge Indian culinary heritage with modern global hospitality in some of Europe’s most prestigious destinations.
