-- Carolina and Jatin Grewal, with backgrounds in global fashion and film, mark a new chapter in Northern California dining through Rivaaz Hospitality, their regional Indian restaurant group now spanning eight Bay Area locations. Their properties, from Emeryville and San Francisco to Dublin, welcome guests into rooms that balance glamour with restraint, grounding each visit in atmosphere and measured service as much as culinary craft. Menus at each address celebrate regional Indian traditions, prepared by chef-led teams who blend classics such as Delhi chaats and Punjabi curries with California produce and seafood, supported by attentive, polished service.
Within the group, each concept fills a distinct role in the portfolio. Cafe Tazza in Dublin functions as an Indian bakery, Indian sweet shop, and quick-service street-food restaurant, offering mithai, savory snacks, and everyday comforts in a casual setting. Baithak centers on Indian kebabs and curries, serving skewers, grilled specialties, and slow-cooked dishes designed for sharing, giving guests options that range from quick bites to long, convivial dinners. Together with their full-service restaurants, these concepts widen access to regional Indian flavors while maintaining the couple’s standards for hospitality and design.
Carolina and Jatin began their public lives in India, with Jatin starring in Bollywood films, national television series, and music videos, and Carolina leading large-scale initiatives in fashion and events. After relocating to the Bay Area, they helped open Pippal in Emeryville in 2023 and later joined the team behind Rooh, collaborating on projects that would pave the way for new concepts. The group’s continued growth now includes Pippal Dublin, which opened in 2025, along with Alora Social and Fitoor, each property carrying its own visual and culinary identity while still reflecting the couple’s creative touch.
Jatin’s sense of story and composition adds cinematic polish to every dining room, influencing layout, timing, and a guest’s evening. Carolina’s eye for fabric, color, and detail guides choices in lighting, artwork, and table settings, encouraging comfort and visual clarity. Their shared attention to staff training ensures consistent pacing, informed guidance through the menu, and a warm welcome whether a quick stop at Cafe Tazza or a lingering celebration at Pippal Dublin.
Seasonal changes in California guide menu updates, with guest feedback helping to refine spice profiles, seafood choices, and presentation across the group. Local coverage often focuses on the experience in these rooms: carefully arranged tables, curated playlists, and interiors that frame both food and conversation. Carolina and Jatin invite guests throughout the region to discover a Bay Area dining portfolio defined by clear vision and inviting spaces, using film, fashion, and food to create Indian dining experiences that feel both grounded and cinematic at the same time.
