Preeti Agarwal, an Indian chef born and raised in Uttar Pradesh, India has been quietly building a dedicated audience for her pop-up Indian dinners called Meesha, which bring modern Indian cuisine to the Seattle dining scene by using local and fresh seasonal ingredients. Through her work in food she creates and shares traditional Indian dishes with exciting flavours and ingredients that are reflective of her upbringing and heritage. Her approach to cooking is simple and enticing with the use of earthy spices, many of which have been part of her own family for generations.
Preeti has been doing these meals all over the city since 2018. She saw an opportunity to grow even further -- in June, she purchased Pomerol, a popular French restaurant in Seattle. She adjusted the menu to focus on small plates, starters and vegetables and infused selected Indian spices, flavors and dishes into the menu. She used this experience at Pomerol to learn the ropes before transforming it into her own space -- Meesha 127.
With a passion for elevated cooking, Meesha aims to bring contemporary Indian cuisine to the Seattle dining scene by using local and fresh seasonal ingredients. We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic to both their Indian origins and Pacific Northwest setting.
