REUNITE MAHESH AND HIS FAMILY!!!

Mahesh and his family have been separated since the end of February 2020. His family currently staying in Sri Lanka, their country of citizenship as they could not continue to live without Mahesh in Dubai, their home of 15 years (it takes a minimum of 30 years to receive citizenship in Dubai unless marrying someone from there). This means that his wife and children now have no family as his wifes family are still in Dubai but due to Mahesh not being with them they could not stay. This causes Mahesh and his family a huge amount of stress. 

Having Mahesh with us since March 2020 we have really formed a great working relationship and a bond with him, he gives so much love to all the he does and really treats the business like his own. We have seen the business thrive even more with him as head chef, even with the strain of covid-19, so that speaks volumes on its own. We are fortunate enough to see the business to continue to grow in the last financial year even with the strain of covid and level changes. We wouldn’t have been able to thrive the way we have without the skillset Mahesh brings the Talisman kitchen and continue to grow the business.

To loose Mahesh for us would be absolutely devastating and after being in the industry for the last 12 years I can honestly say we wouldn’t be able to find someone else like him.

Mahesh is an award winning chef and we are so grateful to have him in our community!
