With a culinary journey that spans continents, he blends the spices of Dubai with the finesse of Italian fine dining to create an unforgettable dining experience at Jerry's Restaurant in D'Arcy Ranch Golf Club.

Hari's passion for cooking took root in his childhood kitchen, where he spent countless hours learning the art of traditional Nepali cuisine from his mother. Inspired by his wife, Krishna, whose remarkable cooking skills have enriched both their home and Jerry's Kitchen, Hari proudly embraces his role as the Italian expert, while Krishna shines in her specialty.

His culinary journey expanded as he pursued studies in culinary arts and hotel management. From luxurious resorts to world-class kitchens in Dubai, Hari has gathered a wealth of experience that he now brings to Jerry’s Kitchen in Okotoks.
