From Liquor Store To Fine Dining Restaurant | Family Food

Heena and Paresh Patel run one of San Francisco’s most exciting restaurants – Besharam, a Gujarati Indian fine dining establishment. The name Besharam means “shameless”, a trait that the family has used to great benefit in their journey. Moving from London to California in the 1990’s, they worked for over 20 years running a liquor store/flower shop, before finally earning a chance to run their dream restaurant, all the while raising two successful children and maintaining the family. Today they’re proudly shameless, serving an exclusively vegetarian menu that’s exciting and delicious. Subscribe to Munchies here: All Munchies videos release a full week early on our site: Hungry?
