With Besharam, Chef/Owner Heena Patel’s culinary voice is on display with a plant-based menu that showcases her personal journey as a chef, rooted in the traditional dishes and techniques she absorbed from her mother and aunt during her upbringing and localized through seasonal California ingredients that reflect Heena’s adulthood in the Bay Area. The menu is a marriage of these experiences, continuously evolving with new inspirations while showcasing Heena’s nuanced approach. Guests are invited to join Heena on a tour through Gujarat, a lush region with a strong culinary lineage grounded in vegetarian cuisine. This heritage is showcased at Besharam through menu sections named for the major cities within: Ahmedabad, Surat, and Mumbai. The wine list and beverage program are thoughtfully composed to complement the menu with cocktails drawing inspiration from the kitchen spice cabinet. Mirroring the creative spirit of the Minnesota Street Project, Besharam features custom artwork from HateCopy pop artist Maria Qamar, who depicts the life and times of first generation Desi diaspora in her pieces.
