Celebrity Chef Richard Sandoval: ‘A restaurant is like an orchestra’

“I’ve been coming here for 17 years. Someone called me from Dubai and asked me if I would be interested in coming to open a Mexican restaurant. I have always liked to be part of current things, evolving things and Dubai to me was very intriguing. So they flew me to Dubai, I came and saw what was happening and I agreed to do Maya.

“My experience in Dubai has been amazing. We’ve been in business for 15 years now, so people have really embraced what we do. The city has been great to us. I like coming here, it just keeps evolving.”
