KISMET was born from a desire to challenge expectations of Indian food in Germany. Rooted in South Indian culinary traditions and shaped by seasonal, regional ingredients, it brings a contemporary, individual perspective to Indian cuisine–in a relaxed bistro setting where thoughtful hospitality and wine are as much a part of the experience as the food itself.

As co-founder, I shaped the experience from the ground up, leading creative direction across the brand, interiors, menus, food presentation, photography, and communications. From the bespoke bilingual identity to the smallest details of the guest experience, the aim was to create something that felt distinctly Indian, yet entirely of its time and place.
