India Doris is the Co-Owner and Executive Chef at Markette, the modern European restaurant in Chelsea, and The Argyle, the cocktail lounge located directly below the restaurant. This fall, she was awarded the Young Chef Award at the 2025 Northeast MICHELIN ceremony – a top honor recognizing exceptional emerging culinary talent whose creativity, leadership, and vision are helping shape the future of dining.

Originally from London, India has lived and cooked throughout Europe at acclaimed restaurants in Spain, France and the UK, such as London’s La Trompette and Bibendum at the Michelin House, in addition to time spent studying butchery in Scotland. Upon settling in New York City over ten years ago, India worked as Chef de Partie at The NoMad before joining renowned, late Chef James Kent at his debut restaurant, NYC’s MICHELIN-starred Crown Shy, and later rising to Executive Sous Chef at sister concept, two MICHELIN-starred SAGA. At Markette, India’s seasonally-rotating menu is heavily inspired by her time spent in Europe and upbringing in the UK, as well as by her Caribbean heritage – showcasing her creative, yet timeless point of view.
