JIMMY & DEEPTI
HOSPITALITY
One of the best decisions he made in life, says Jimmy, is entering the world of hospitality. The man behind Tandoori Flames, the flagship restaurant he opened in 2009, says the reason he is a success in his business is because he always had the support of his family, especially his wife Deepti.
Jimmy first came to Australia in 2003 to do a Master’s in IT from Victoria University. He then worked at a few IT companies before switching over to the world of hospitality and establishing his own business in 2008.
“I was in business with my friend where our main focus was hospitality and automobiles. That was how I developed a love for food and the idea of being a restaurateur,” says Jimmy.
Tandoori Flames is different from other restaurants, says Jimmy. “It’s not just that we promise the best hospitality and food quality, but the team works closely with clients to ensure they have a good time from the moment they step in,” he adds.
“We have many live performances in the restaurant and even arrange for belly dancers twice a week,” says Jimmy.
The idea is to keep the fire alive, laughs the restaurateur. “The way the Indian population is growing, butter chicken will become national dish of Australia.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
