Ritual x HAŌMA: The Neo-Indian Culinary Revelation in California

This August, California’s Ritual at Manresa welcomes one of Asia’s most visionary restaurants: Bangkok’s HAŌMA, honoured with both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star. Led by W50B Champion of Change Chef Deepanker Khosla, HAŌMA is the world’s first Neo-Indian, zero-waste, urban farm restaurant — and it’s now crossing continents for a rare, intimate residency in California.

HAŌMA’s cuisine defies categorisation: bold yet refined, rooted in Indian tradition yet interpreted entirely through Thai-grown ingredients and ancient techniques. Whether omnivore or vegetarian, guests are led on a sensorial journey across India — from land to sea, or garden to plate — in dishes that reflect ancestral wisdom and modern sustainability.

More than a restaurant, HAŌMA is a philosophy. Its Bangkok home produces nearly all its own vegetables, herbs, and proteins, and sends zero waste to landfill. During the pandemic, it served over 300,000 meals to those in need and created jobs for hundreds of displaced workers. This is cuisine with conscience, flavour with intent.

And the accolades follow: Michelin Star. Green Star. Asia’s Most Sustainable Restaurant (50 Best, 2024), World’s Best Wine List (Star Wine List Grand Prix 2024) including awarded as the Most Sustainable Wine List globally as well.

At Ritual, HAŌMA will bring the fire, the garden, and the story to California’s coast — for a fleeting series of evenings where every detail reflects a better, bolder future for fine dining.
