Chandigarh: The passion project of Rajan and Deepika Sethi, Ikk Panjab now opens its doors at Chandigarh after a successful launch at Connaught Place in Delhi in January this year. Ikk Panjab is more than just a restaurant—it’s a heartfelt celebration of Punjab’s rich culture, deep history, and unbreakable spirit. Bringing the flavors and soul of Punjab to Chandigarh, it invites you to experience its vibrant culinary and cultural magic like never before. Inspired by the stories of a Punjab - a state that once flourished as the cradle of empires and the meeting ground of diverse traditions, Ikk Panjab pays homage to a legacy fractured by partition but united in spirit through its timeless cuisine and traditions.
The essence of Ikk Panjab lies in its storytelling. It celebrates the vibrant culture of a land blessed by the five rivers—Ravi, Jhelum, Chenab, Sutlej, and Beas—where food was more than sustenance; it was a way of life, an expression of love, and a reflection of an unbroken lineage of flavors. At its heart lies the poignant story of migration and resilience, shaped by the experiences of a generation who carried their heritage across borders, rebuilding lives while keeping the soul of Punjab alive in every bite and memory.
“After witnessing the overwhelming love and success that Ikk Panjab received in Delhi-NCR, we felt that it was time to bring this experience closer, to the heart of Punjab. Chandigarh, being a city that beautifully preserves Punjabi culture and traditions, felt like the perfect choice. The people here have a deep connection to their roots, and we wanted to create a space where they can relive the rich flavours and warmth of Punjab. Opening in Chandigarh is not just an expansion for us, rather, it feels like a homecoming.”
