Your Journey Begins Here
Central is a love letter to India’s golden age of railway travel. Chai steaming on platforms, tiffins passed between train windows, stories shared across compartments that warmth and wonder is what we bring to Salt Lake City. Founded by Lavanya Mahate, who has been shaping the food culture of Utah for 16 years, Central blends tradition with modern flair. It’s not just a restaurant. It’s a journey and every guest is part of the story.
