Ashok Bajaj

Ashok Bajaj is a restauranteur based in Washington, DC. He is head of the Knightsbridge Restaurant Group.

Bajaj was born in New Delhi and worked in London managing the Bombay Brasserie before moving the United States. He opened the Bombay Club, his first restaurant in Washington, in 1988 when he was in his 20s. His restaurant group has since expanded and now includes Rasika, for which chef Vikram Sunderam won a 2014 James Beard Award. Sunderam and Bajaj met in London working together at the Bombay Brasserie.

A 2013 profile in The New York Times headlined "Right This Way, Senator: A New Delhi-Born Restaurateur Brings Power Dining to D.C." describes Bajaj as "arguably the most successful restaurateur in Washington."
