The Westin Mumbai has appointed Chef Mohd Faisal Qureshi as its new Head Chef, bringing over 14 years of experience across India and overseas markets.

Qureshi specialises in Awadhi and Mughlai cuisine alongside menu development and kitchen management, a profile that signals a possible push toward refined North Indian programming at the hotel. The Westin Mumbai competes in a dense luxury-hospitality corridor where food and beverage identity increasingly drives repeat footfall.

Qureshi has stated his focus will be on innovation, authenticity, and guest-centric dining. Whether that translates to a revamped menu or a new concept at the property remains to be seen, but the hire is a clear statement of intent.
