About Our Leader

Daniel Chandan Gomes’ culinary career began in early 1996, inspired by his Executive Gardmeger Chef father Michel Nirmol Gomes and his family’s love and respect for quality and tradition. After completing his training on Food & Beverage and Food Safety from NHTTI (famously known as Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation) and HACCP, ITT Sheraton Hotel Dhaka respectively, Mr. Daniel sought opportunities to further develop his own passion and creativity.

Dhaka Culinary Institute (DCI) is the country’s leading Culinary Institute that is steeped in the history of the Bangladeshi culinary industry since 2015.

Our story begins when Master Chef Daniel C. Gomes realized the need for a private intervention in the culinary setting in Bangladesh apart from the existing Government measures. His vision soon resulted in an opening of a Cookery School that attracted much publicity in no time from national and international media houses.
