Barat is a place of deep-rooted philosophies and progressive shoots. Its roots extend to The Ganga Cafe, its neighbour on Lorong Kurau. Already firmly established for its wholesome Indian vegetarian cuisine, it is also owned by Barat founders Meeta and Prabodh Sheth; Barat is their newer vegetarian lifestyle restaurant facing firmly towards the Mediterranean region for flavour inspiration.
Barat can also trace its origins to executive chef Lingesh Dimitrus Joseph’s bold decision a decade ago, when he left a comfortable job as a pharmaceutical sales rep to become a farmer. With a friend, he leased a small plot of land in Rompin, Pahang and worked the land.
