ABOUT THE CHEF
Chef Rahul Mo.Seyon, aka SpiceBoy, is the mind and heart behind UNDERGROUND.
His food philosophy is simple: fun, fearless, and full of personality.
Each tasting menu is a story! Part culinary adventure, part playful experiment.
SpiceBoy cooks with intention.
Every spice, every ingredient, every move in the kitchen is deliberate! Designed to surprise, comfort, and stir a little chaos. Driven by a lifelong love for flavour and a commitment to creative authenticity, he fuses global techniques with his own culinary identity to create dishes that are both comforting and exciting. More than just cooking,
Rooted in a lifelong love for flavour, his cooking blends global techniques with a deeply personal culinary identity. The result? Dishes that feel familiar, yet unexpected.
At UNDERGROUND, the chef isn’t hidden in the kitchen.
He’s part of the experience, guiding, narrating, and revealing just enough to keep the night alive, dynamic, and always spice-forward.
SpiceBoy Underground started as a simple idea: what if dinner wasn’t just dinner, but an experience that feels like a secret you’re lucky to be part of? What if a tasting menu wasn’t locked into one cuisine, one style, or one rulebook, but free to shift, remix, and tell stories? That’s the heart of SpiceBoy Underground a traveling supper club that blurs the line between fine dining, art, and community.
At its core, this is a one-chef show. I’m SpiceBoy a chef, storyteller, and consultant who believes food can be both playful and powerful. For me, cooking isn’t just about plates and flavors; it’s about creating a moment that sticks with you long after the night ends. SpiceBoy Underground is my way of opening the kitchen, not just to feed people, but to build connections, spark curiosity, and remind us that meals are memories in motion.
The structure? Think of it like a tasting journey with 5–7 courses. Some dishes are deeply rooted in South Asian traditions, others jump borders and pull inspiration from global kitchens, and a few are born purely from late-night experiments. The menu is cuisine-agnostic, which means there’s no box to fit into one night you might be eating a raw mango + mustard oil ceviche, the next it’s a reimagined comfort dish, or maybe even a surprise course I don’t announce until you’re sitting down. The only constant is that it’s never boring, and it’s always layered with flavor, texture, and story.
The vibe? Underground, intimate, and a little mischievous. Right now, I host in Chennai out of my own studio a space that feels more like a creative playground than a restaurant. It’s cozy, it’s unexpected, and it transforms into a dining room built for conversations, laughter, and that “you had to be there” feeling. But SpiceBoy Underground isn’t meant to stay in one place. The plan is to take it on the road Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, maybe even beyond India. Guests can even request their city through the website, and if enough voices rise up, I’ll bring the knives, the stories, and the spice.
What makes SpiceBoy Underground different is that it’s not just about food. It’s about energy. It’s about gathering people around a table, sometimes strangers, sometimes friends, and creating a one-night-only cultural commune. Each event is limited, exclusive, and designed to feel alive not a restaurant shift, but a ritual.
At the end of the day, SpiceBoy Underground is more than supper. It’s a reminder that the best meals are never just about what’s on your plate. They’re about the people you share them with, the conversations you didn’t expect, and the stories you carry out the door.
This isn’t dining. This is underground. And you’re invited.
