The Authentic Greek Head Chef, Dimitrios Chartavelas
From humble beginnings, to following the American dream, falling into a job that quickly became his passion.
Dimitrios’ culinary career has taken him across the globe, from Miami, to London and most recently Saudi Arabia. Although inspired by modern and innovative Western cuisine, the authentic flavours of home, soon had Dimitrios running towards his roots.
From heading up the kitchen in fine dining Aegean restaurant Okto (in Riyadh), to launching Hovarda, London’s successful Aegean cocktail restaurant, not to mention his years at Yosma, a famous Turkish Meyhane in London, Dimitrios’ experience has only furthered his passion for the faraway flavours of the Orient.
Eastern Promises, Djunah Delights.
Since 2021, Dimitrios’ talent and passion adds extra zest and vibrancy to the already distinctive Villa Djunah menu.
Infusing the two culinary worlds, modern Mediterranean and traditional Arabic, Dimitrios delights in creating authentic experiences, with fresh, honest food, falling perfectly in tune with the essence of Villa Djunah, fresh, vibrant with a touch of spice.
Enchanting gardens, seductive cocktails and eclectic musical nights: life in the South just got a lot more interesting.
