Our Story

The early days in Delhi

Sachin decided early on that he was going to be a chef. After all, he was the grandson of Sri Sadhu Ram Garg who started a restaurant near Kirori Mal College along Bungalow Road in Delhi. The restaurant named Ajanta was one of its kinds. Buoyed by its success, Sadhu Ram’s son Satish, enrolled himself in the Pusa Institute of Management, Delhi, in 1969 to train and augment the business.

The family trait did not skip any generation as Sadhu Ram’s grandson Sachin became a chef himself after studying hotel management at the R M Institute of Hotel Management in New Delhi in 1997 after finishing school from Modern School, Barakhamba, Delhi. And it was in Delhi that Sachin met Arun Chauhan, his teacher, who would become the inspiration for everything he does today.

Sachin not only topped academically but went on to work in some of the finest hotels of the world.

Migration To Melbourne

After a few years in London, he came to Australia in 2003. In Melbourne, he rekindled his relationship with Chauhan joining his iconic restaurant Shiva in Prahran which is nearing 30 years of operation.

At Shiva, Sachin grew his passion for delivering an authentic Indian dining experience that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression.

The restaurant specializes in traditional Indian cuisine, meticulously crafted using time-honored recipes and the finest ingredients. Sachin and Arun pride themselves on exceptional service and a dining experience that goes beyond just great food. Their partnership remains intact to date and with his guidance Sachin ventured into his own catering business which runs by the name of Sachin Garg Catering

SG Catering is born

In 2011, Sachin started his catering service which goes his name. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that you can build your own menu – from cocktail snacks to entrees to mains.

“It’s one of the first interactive catering websites where customers actually have the free hand of mixing and matching whatever they want and this menu is something that people in Melbourne have not heard of,” says Sachin. He believes people are sick and tired of the same old samosas and chicken tikkas. Thus he started hara bhara kabab, aloo dilnaz, malai tikka , soya achari tikka, tandoori kumbh, cheese cutlet, murg aftaab etc.

Sachin started the catering service to primarily change the face Indian cooking. “When I came out of India and came to this industry, I realised that Indian food was more about dinners. Today, we make a healthy version of Indian food. We use good oil, have healthy facilities and went to corporate boardrooms to tell people that Indian food can be eaten in the directors’ meeting or office lunch and is part of daily life, not just as weekend dinners or something you reserve for Friday nights.”

The business grows wheels

Sachin stepped up his own game by acquiring a state-of-the-art food truck at a cost of nearly 180,000 AUD. The customised and sophisticated truck fondly called Shiva II can cater up to 400 people at one time and has been the centre of attraction at many events, drawing thousands.

This customised truck which took six months to build has a full-fledged tandoor, wok burner, a hot plate for dosas, bain maries, two sinks, a fridge and is fitted with a 150 litre water tank. The truck weighs four and half tonnes.

As the demand for his services kept increasing, Sachin realised he could not cope with the pressure for high demand. At the same time, he was being approached by groups at the food truck parks to do things with them. “There was the constant demand for a tandoor in my catering business so I thought the most professional way of servicing my clients was by making a food truck. So, it is essentially an Indian kitchen outside the house catering the needs of the function.”

Practically every weekend Shiva II is on the move. “The Indian community has also given me so much love because of the truck. When my clients found out that I got this truck with the tandoor equipped with the latest gadgets everybody wanted it and booked it well in advance. “The truck has changed the face of my business and given me the adrenalin pump,” smiles Sachin.
