India is their World: Episode 2- A Slice of France, featuring the story of L’Opera

[@manashdas4247]

Wow! Sandeep, had you not been a diplomat you could have easily been a television journalist....or an actor! Dr. Samandari and his family's fabulous journey is so inspiring, and somehow, liberating. He is as chic as the L'Opera chain that he has created. Fantastic episode! Congratulations.

[@shumonsengupta2789]

A remarkable story, beautifully presented! Mr. Kazem Samandari who I have known personally, is a wonderful gentleman. To me, he represents the quintessential Bahai - gentle, conscientious and utterly humane. As to L'Opera - having been to some of the finest patisseries and cafes in Europe and elsewhere, I would rate it among the best that I have been to, anywhere in the world. L'Opera is truly of global gourmet standard. And I was delighted to learn that they source their chocolate, butter and cream entirely from India (had assumed that their chocolate and butter were imported, given the outstanding quality of L'Opera's products). Surely this says a lot about the quality of products in India, and in a way, it is not surprising given that certain cheese, chocolate and alcohol produced in India have now made their global presence felt, winning prestigious international competitions lately. It is India's gain that people like Mr. Samandari and his family have made it their home. And this is hoping that India continues to attract the best minds and the best workers - the best talent from rest of the world, to make our glorious country their home.

It is a wonderful tribute to the extraordinary Samandari family

Such an inspiring story. I have had the honor of working in L'opera. And it has been a wonderful time. My heartful love and gratitude to Dr. Kazem Samandari, Christine Samandari & Laurent Samandari.❤️🙏

[@arnabghosh8376]

Amazing story. Impactful life decisions, despite what we think, are almost always impulsive. For the love of India and croissants!

[@DPKPillayDr]

Mr Kazem is an amazing man . His love for India and his passion for doing what he doing in the way he is doing is an inspiration

Mouthwatering 😀 That croissant looked so good, I wanted a bite! Another interesting episode, Sandeep! Looking forward to more...

[@yashaskirti]

Lopera has a major part to play in my life. I literally made my career sitting in Lopera while working on my dream. The beautiful dates I had with my loved ones and the beautiful memories I will carry for the rest of my life. Blessed to have Mr Kazam in India.

[@sandipmukherjee6708]

Lovely story, well told. Dr Samandari his family and L'Opera deserves great appreciation for their knowledge of India and bringing to us tremendous French patisserie. Here's wishing Sandip all the very best for bringing forward this story👏👏👏

[@pravinpatil4768]

Sandeep, congratulations! This is great work. I also heard your interview with Adrian Mutton. It’s a niche not too many have explored. Cheers & All the best..!!

[@monabartar2024]

As much as we love L'opera, we loved to know more about the story of the Samandari family. ❤

[@NaserEmtesali]

Is he a descendant of Taraz'u'llah Samandari?

[@michellemahabat21]

What an incredible journey it has been for the Samandari’s! In a matter of fifteen minutes they decided to relocate from Paris to India. The Samandari family are an inspiration, they are so warm and genuine. The interview was been beautifully captured by Mr. Sandeep. Tuba Mahabat

What an amazing story and great enterprise. We are indeed lucky to have the best French patisserie here in India and it is indeed the best.

Excellent episode and very refreshing. Nice heart warming story told in a most succinct manner. Must visit L'Opera. Don't know how I was unaware of it all these years! Please keep it up Mr Chakraborty 👍. Look forward to the future episodes.

[@shwetalamba3654]

Love the selection of music!

[@walkingbones88]

Wonderful story of the Samandaris. Have to visit L'Opera again soon! Also the production value and quality is so good this should actually be on TV or OTT! Great concept.

[@NaserEmtesali]

Sandeepji, thank you for this excellent tribute. When you meet this family next time please ask them some questions about the Baha'i faith, may be something about the Orthodox Baha'is and the court case between the Orthodox and the Haifan Baha'is in Chicago.

[@matejavodebghosh]

Thank you Sandeep for bringing forward the positive stories about India!

[@Chakraview0]
