Culinary Arts Group’s new group executive chef-partner will work alongside group culinary director Tristin Farmer to curate Revolver’s Bullet menus and lead its overseas expansion plans
From Delhi to London, Dubai and Paris, esteemed chef Jitin Joshi locks on to Singapore’s exciting culinary scene. Renowned for recently claiming two Michelin stars when he served as executive chef at Gymkhana—one of London’s finest Indian gourmet restaurants—he now joins modern Indian grill Revolver as the latest group executive chef and partner. Following the appointment of group culinary director with Tristin Farmer, the Culinary Arts Group is beefing up its already star-studded fold with the induction of Joshi.
Thrilled to reunite after working alongside each other at Gordon Ramsay’s, Farmer says he is confident in Joshi. “His wealth of experience coupled with his shared commitment to culinary excellence makes him the perfect fit to lead our team at Revolver,” adds Farmer. From earning his stripes in classical French cuisine under French chef Eric Chavot to rising up and becoming Atul Kochhar’s right-hand man at one-Michelin-starred Benares in London, Joshi is no stranger to working with titans of the culinary industry.
Joshi’s new frontier with the Singapore-based restaurant group will see him lead the Revolver concept globally, where he also serves as culinary director of Dubai-based food and beverage startup Lemonbutter Group. Expressing his excitement, Joshi expounds, “The concepts in the Culinary Arts Group have always been rooted in innovation, boldness, and rich culture. Revolver, especially, captivated me with its beautiful concept of an open-fire grill that merges Indian cooking sensibilities with international flavours and world-class produce.”

Bringing to the table his in-depth knowledge, people management skills and mastery of modern Indian cuisine, Joshi will complement Farmer’s creative input to elevate the fiery South Asian-spiced cuisine at Revolver. Come July, Joshi will load up his inaugural menu with Bullet 14, promising a hand of irresistibly spiced, fire-kissed dishes. He teases us with the likes of bincho-grilled Saba mackerel on toast with a Goan spice paste; basil tiger’s milk marinated Hokkaido scallops; smoked eggplant kulchette; and Naga chilli & roscoff onion rock lobster stir fry. And now, we wait.
