Born in southern India, a region rarely represented on Indian restaurant menus in the U.S., Chef Vijay Kumar was raised in rural poverty. His culinary aspirations surfaced early and he attended culinary school in India then worked on cruise ships and in restaurants in a variety of locations before coming to the United States and finding a culinary foothold in San Francisco, where he led the kitchen team at Rasa and earned a Michelin star for five straight years. He got a chance to open his own restaurant, Semma in New York in 2021, featuring his version of the Southern Indian food he grew up with, and has now won a Michelin star there, as well as being ranked the number one restaurant in New York for 2025 by the New York Times and being named the 2025 James Beard Award Outstanding Chef for New York state.
