Hi, I’m Tabrez Shaikh.

I'm beyond thrilled to welcome you to the Stew Store.

You know, there's something truly magical about a perfectly crafted stew, especially when it's made with love and a touch of worldly inspiration.

Over the years, I've had the incredible privilege of working with some amazing kitchens, but my heart has always been in creating unforgettable flavors that transport you to different corners of the globe. It's not just about cooking; it's about crafting an experience, a story that unfolds with every savory bite.

I've been fortunate to draw from my travels and experiences in hotels and resorts worldwide, but it's the passion for food that has always been my guiding star. I believe in the power of a well-made stew to not just satisfy your hunger, but to take you on a journey of taste and texture, with every ingredient singing in harmony.

What excites me most is the idea of sharing this passion with you, our incredible customers. I want each visit to the Stew Store to be a culinary adventure, a chance for you to savor flavors from far-off places right here in Cork. Whether it's the hearty warmth of a Moroccan Tagine or the bold spice of a South Indian Curry, every dish carries a piece of my heart and a taste of my culinary journey.

So, come on down to the Marina Market or Douglas Village. Let's embark on this flavor-filled adventure together, and let the Stew Store be your gateway to a world of taste and delight.

See you soon!
