Dawa Bhuti is the chef and co-owner of Dawa’s restaurant in Queens. Her family is originally from Tibet, and she was born in Nepal and grew up in Tibetan refugee boarding schools in India. In school and college she learned about different cultures and cuisines. She realized that many cultures share the same concept of a dish but prepare it differently according to the availability of ingredients and local traditions. In this sense food creates familiarity and unites us.
