🍛 Chef Wanted — Delhi to Mumbai on One Menu, Diemen (Amsterdam Area)

🍽 Opportunity Delhi-cious is hiring four Independent Chef-I roles at once for its restaurant on Dalsteindreef in Diemen, just east of Amsterdam, to cook a menu that deliberately spans the country rather than sticking to one region — Delhi street food, Mumbai market flavours and countryside dishes all on the same table. Four seats opening together points to a kitchen scaling up service, not replacing one departure, and the breadth of the menu means whoever joins won't be repeating the same handful of dishes on rotation. 👨‍🍳 Role & Responsibilities Independently prepare lunch and dinner dishes drawn from across India's regional cooking Carry out mise en place and preparatory tasks — cutting, mixing, portioning Ensure the quality, taste and presentation of every dish that leaves the kitchen Apply and comply with HACCP and food safety regulations Manage inventory: ordering, receiving and checking incoming products Clean and maintain kitchen equipment and workspaces Contribute ideas for recipes, menu updates and more efficient processes Supervise compliance with regulations and the work of kitchen assistants 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Diemen is its own municipality tucked against Amsterdam's eastern edge, connected to the city centre by metro but a notch quieter and more affordable than living inside the ring — a practical home base rather than a postcard one. What makes this kitchen worth a second look within its category is the menu itself: instead of committing to a single regional Indian cuisine the way most competitors in this market do, Delhi-cious is built around covering the country's range in one place, which means more variety for a chef to actually cook and more room to move between styles rather than mastering one dish list on repeat. For a cook who wants breadth over specialization, and doesn't need to be in the thick of central Amsterdam to feel settled, that's the real trade on offer here. ✅ Best Fit Chefs who want to cook across India's regional cuisines in one kitchen rather than specialize in a single style Cooks joining a kitchen that's expanding its team (four roles at once) rather than backfilling a single vacancy Chefs who'd rather live in a quieter, more affordable town just outside Amsterdam than pay for a central-city postcode Those comfortable running lunch and dinner service independently, start to finish, without close supervision Cooks who want a hand in shaping recipes and menu updates, not just executing a fixed list Candidates willing to put in a proper application — a cover letter alongside the CV, not just a CV Not a fit for chefs expecting a fine-dining pace or plating standard — this is everyday, from-scratch Indian home-style cooking
