I highly recommend Satya. He is one of my favorite chefs and an excellent restauranteur and manager. He is always very personable. He excels as a host and his hospitality skills put others at ease. He treats everyone like family and carries a light of joy with him wherever he goes. Satya is a team player and a pleasure with whom to work.

Sathya and I worked together to get a restaurant up and running in Nashville, and I also help him with bookkeeping for some other projects he has going. He is amazing at pulling in the right staff, quickly weeding out the bad ones and getting everyone to work together as one. His bright personality and quick wit made him great with the customers who came in. He never seems to get overwhelmed with everything he has on his plate, and he seems to always be juggling more than the average human

Guesthouse. I immediately felt so welcome and at home in his space. Sathyan is a networker and a community leader, he cares about his guests and makes us feel welcome in his home. What I appreciate most about Sathyan is that he shares his joy and success with others. He gives back to his community through work with his orphanage, organic farming, and is always ready to help plan or accommodate guests wherever he is. If you have a chance to meet him, consider yourself lucky. 🙂

To whom it may concern.. I can herewith confirm that mr Gopalan has proved to be an excellent host in his guesthouse in India. Not only did he create a very aesthetic and comfortable environment there but he has also been very attentive to support his guest whenever it was needed... (Like giving them lifts in his own private car and so on...) Last not least the conversations with him have always been very interesting and inspirational... So all in all he will be an excellent person to hire.

I have had the honor and luxury of being prepared countless meals by Satya and each one was prepared with a certain magic innate to his cooking. It's difficult to pinpoint the why or how his dishes are uniquely satisfying but it seems to come from a deep respect he has for flavors and years of experience perfecting how to pair them. His vast knowledge of Indian cuisine mixed with a curiosity for learning how other cultures prepare food has influenced a fusion of creativity in many of his dishes that excite and inspire anyone who has the opportunity to partake in his cooking. He has said many times while guiding me on how to prepare certain dishes that you must "feel" the food, and it's almost as if he can feel what the food needs and adjusts the "recipe" accordingly (I've never seen him follow a recipe). Whatever his magic is, I've never seen it dwindle or run out. And whether he's preparing for one or a group of 40, (with only half a stove, a few pots and pans and a half a day's notice) Satya cooks from the heart and wants little more that to see people enjoy the food he so deeply enjoyed preparing.

Dear Mr Satyam, Thank you again for you reception in your wonderful hotel. We appreciate very much all the help you gave us and your general management . Hope to see you again when that COVID story end, we will definitely come back at Sunshine Guest House.

I highly recommend Satya not only as one of my favorite chefs but an excellent restauranteur and manager with great hospitality skills. He is always very personable and treats all of his customers as friends instantly putting them at ease. In addition to all of his skills I find him to be a very decent human being who always carries an abundance of joy with him which makes him a pleasure to be around.
