According
to Michael Bauer, San Francisco
Chronicle, "Chef
Sachin Chopra has
made this elegant restaurant a destination. It's exciting
to see chefs paying homage to their native countries
in the context of their new home, trying to avoid being
a slave to the classics, yet using the traditions to
create exciting flavors and presentations”
Sachin Chopra began his culinary career
in his native country of India. His experiences have
led him to be professionally trained on two continents.
Sachin attended the celebrated Hotel Management and Catering
Institute of Pusa, in Deli. Upon coming to the States,
he studied at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America.
From there he worked his way through Manhattan, starting
with a stint with highly regarded Daniel Bouloud at Restaurant
Daniel. Sachin owned a small Indian Restaurant, but after
September 11, 2001 chose to come West to work in the
hot Bay Area culinary scene. Sachin spent over three
years with SF Chronicle top 100 restaurant Amber India.
Sachin’s passion is California cuisine with Indian
flavors. Moving to Mantra , Sachin is at a great point
in his career to showcase innovative dishes while balancing
the healthful side of California Cuisine with the intense
flavors of his homeland India.
