We are looking for two Restaurant Managers to co-lead operations, ensuring smooth day-to-day management while fostering a positive, collaborative work environment. Darjeeling Express is not just a Michelin-listed restaurant; it is a movement rooted in social impact, community and the power of food to transform lives.

We believe strong leadership transcends industry experience.
