Working in close collaboration with the team behind Rooh, the Grewals later joined as partners to help open and grow newer concepts such as Fitoor, Alora Social, and the Pippal restaurants rather than as the original creators of Rooh. Within their own Rivaaz Hospitality portfolio, they now guide concepts including Pippal, Cafe Tazza, and Baithak, bringing a refined combination of design focus and measured Indian hospitality to each address. Their latest project, Pippal Dublin, stands as a major new opening in their Northern California circuit and reflects the most current expression of their vision. Pippal Dublin opened this fall at the expanded Waterford Plaza, with interiors customâ€'built by Mumbai architect Simran Chana and a menu guided by Chef Munish Rana, previously of Rooh Delhi. The space features a private room for events and a dinner menu built around regional Indian dishes and prominent flavors from across California. Cafe Tazza, an Indian bakery, Indian sweet shop, and QSR streetâ€'food restaurant, and Baithak, which serves Indian kebabs and curries, round out the group's presence in Dublin, giving guests everyday and specialâ€'occasion options under the same umbrella. Guests can book group celebrations, private tastings, or midweek gatherings at Pippal Dublin, enjoying plates such as panâ€'seared chicken momo, Bihari lamb chops, and mango Alleppey fish and prawn curry, along with crafted cocktails and spiritâ€'free drinks. Across Rivaaz Hospitality, teams are trained to guide guests through regional dishes, spice levels, and pairings, ensuring that both regulars and those new to Indian regional cooking feel comfortable and well looked after. The Grewals' expansion builds on their intent to share lesserâ€'known Indian specialties while framing each meal with design and attentive service. Their portfolio now stretches across the Bay Area, drawing praise for its ability to offer hospitality and creative flavor in equal measure at Pippal, Cafe Tazza, Baithak, Fitoor, and Alora Social. Regular updates, including menu changes and seasonal pacing, support their goal of creating spaces where community guests feel welcome, whether they are stopping in for mithai at Cafe Tazza, kebabs at Baithak, or a regional dinner at Pippal Dublin, and set the stage for planned growth into nearby states such as Nevada.
