Hi there! I’m Krishna. I created Petite Île as a way to pay homage to my mother’s food and the island we all call home. To me, Mauritius is the most beautiful place on earth, ridged with tall peaks, rapids and dense forests. The whole island sits on crystal blue waters. It’s like nothing else you could imagine.

Growing up in Mauritius, life revolved around food, and my mum, whose grandchildren lovingly call Machetti, was Head Chef. She made simple, unpretentious food that was always delicious, full of rich flavors drawn out with time and love from a tiny kitchen and a two-burner tabletop stove.
