Our story

One chef,
one journey
across Italy.

Favourite was established by Chef Girish Mathai in February 2009 to bring the finest Italian cuisine to our guests.

Driven by a deep passion for authentic flavours, Chef Girish travelled across Italy — from the bustling trattorias of Rome to the coastal kitchens of Naples — to understand the true soul of Italian cuisine, and to master the art of handmade pizzas.

Today, our team continues to work with the same passion, keeping the dining experience at Favourite warm, honest and full of the simple joys of Italian food.
