Bengaluru 2025: Think Cambodia, and what often comes to mind is the majestic Angkor Wat. What’s less known—but equally remarkable—is Cambodia’s rich and diverse culinary heritage, shaped by centuries of cultural influences. Changing that perception is Chef Ros Rotanak, widely known as Chef Nak — celebrity chef, bestselling author, and Cambodia’s leading culinary ambassador. In a groundbreaking moment for both Indian and Cambodian gastronomy, Chef Nak is bringing her celebrated cuisine to India for the very first time, with a two-day pop-up at Zen, The Leela Palace Bengaluru on June 13 and 14, 2025.

This exclusive pop-up marks the first-ever Cambodian culinary showcase in India, hosted at Zen, The Leela Palace Bengaluru — a restaurant that has long been at the forefront of the city’s fine dining scene. Known for its innovative Pan-Asian offerings and numerous accolades, including Best Pan Asian Premium Dining Restaurant by NDTV Food Awards and Times Food & Nightlife Awards, Zen continues to lead the way in introducing new and authentic culinary experiences to Indian diners. Chef Nak’s appearance further cements The Leela Palace Bengaluru’s position as a trailblazer in global culinary innovation.
