We’re incredibly proud of our Howdy’s Chefs, Chef Aayush Kafle and Chef Degaldoruwe Walauwe Kasun Udayanga, as they step into the spotlight at the 28th Emirates International Salon Culinaire.
Taking on this challenge for the first time already speaks volumes about their courage, passion, and drive. To us, that makes them winners from the start.
All the best, chefs—you’ve got this! #chefs #chef #hotels #middleeast #movenpickgrandalbustandubai #emiratesinternationalsalonculinaire #dxb
Welcome to the Family, Chef Milon!
We’re thrilled to welcome Chef Milon Anthony Rozario as the Executive Chef of Mövenpick Grand Al Bustan Hotel & Convention Centre Dubai!
Originally from Kolkata, the City of Joy and the home of Mother Teresa, Chef Milon brings with him not just a wealth of culinary experience—but a name that truly reflects his spirit. Milon, meaning friendship and meeting people, perfectly suits a chef who has dedicated his life to bringing people together through food.
Chef Milon began his journey with a formal three-year catering diploma, followed by a prestigious apprenticeship at the iconic Oberoi Hotel, Mumbai. In 1992, he moved to Dubai and joined the legendary Chicago Beach Hotel—now known as Jumeirah Beach Hotel—marking the start of an incredible culinary journey in the region.
After a successful stint in Bahrain with the Dilmun Group overseeing multiple properties, he returned to Dubai and served as Executive Chef at Marco Polo Hotel for 12 years. He later brought his expertise to Citymax Hotels and played a pivotal role in the pre-opening of the Gevora Hotel, recognized as the tallest hotel in the world.
His most recent role was at Canal Central Hotel before joining our Mövenpick family.
- Over the years, Chef Milon has been recognized with several prestigious awards:
- Best Restaurant Awards – Indian (2006), Tex-Mex (2012), Chinese (2013)
- Senior Member and Judge with Emirates Culinary Guild
- Participant in Guinness World Record culinary events with ECG and DTCM
- TV Cookery Shows & Features in multiple food and lifestyle magazines
He also holds certifications in Advanced Hygiene (Level 4), Fire Safety, Chemical Handling, and Tourism Awareness from Dubai Police.
With such a passionate, seasoned, and community-minded chef on board, we are incredibly excited for what lies ahead for our culinary offerings.
Please join us in giving Chef Milon a warm welcome to Mövenpick Grand Al Bustan Dubai!
