Being a part of a culinary school, we have witnessed the rise of many successful food entrepreneurs who took their baby steps to the world of culinary at ICCA Dubai.
However, we see people join the school to learn the culinary basics and not people with successful careers. We usually get students who are either aspiring chefs or entrepreneurs who want to get their fundamentals right to work towards their dream.
So, when Mohammed Bineesh – the founder and owner of Ustad Hotel,Dubai – came to join ICCA for the Professional Program, we were all curious to know why the owner of multiple restaurant outlets wanted to take up a culinary program.
For Bineesh, it has always been about his love for cooking despite not having many chances to do any actual cooking while growing up. He hails from a family where the kitchen is dominated by women and men are not encouraged to do the same. Coming from such a background, it was difficult for him to pursue a career in the culinary industry. In the present, he is a proud owner of multiple restaurants with hard work and passion, so he decided to fulfill that old dream of him learning to cook from an accredited culinary school.
Bineesh began his professional journey as a hospital administrator soon after his graduation. However, he did not forget to take his love for cooking with him there. He started small in the culinary world with occasional small-scale catering along with the hospital job and grew that into a full-time catering business. His growth was fast but consistent because of his determination and hard work. It did not take much time for him to open up Ustad Hotel, his restaurant that is popular among the Keralites in the UAE.
Currently, Bineesh owns five restaurants in Dubai and Abu Dhabi together, which include three outlets of Ustad Hotel and two Japanese restaurants.
We are glad we had someone like him as a student in ICCA because he is more than an inspiration to the young minds here. Bineesh is a perfect example of sustained passion and he has proved that wonders can happen when determination, hard work, and passion come together.
