Our story
Our story
80er – 90er
Sound of Music…begins in the Alps
Our story has its gastronomic beginnings in the Gastein Valley, in a quiet and remote place called Laderding – more precisely in the Laderdinger Hof. The traditional inn marked the first milestone of our history, after our family father had gathered experience in the gastronomy and tourism industry all over Austria for several years. This is where everything began: with hearty cuisine and finest locally prepared farm dishes – so convincing that even Falco and Pavarotti were enchanted by it.
90er – 2000
Lasciatemi Cantare e I cuochi cusano
From the Gastein Valley, we continue to the second chapter: The Italian inspiration leads us to Ristorante – Pizzeria Antonio in Zell am See. The restaurant is newly furnished and exudes Venetian vibes. A fishing net stretches across the ceiling, Italian statues adorn the interior, and in every corner stands a decorative wine bottle. Rome, Florence, and Tuscany – united in one place.
The family has also grown in the meantime, and even at a young age, the descendants soak up the diversity of the industry. No one suspects yet that the foundation for their future is already being laid here.
At Antonio, we pamper both locals and tourists with the finest Italian cuisine. Here, we also dare to introduce our “Indian Weeks” for the first time, which not only conquer the palates but also the local district newspapers. Even a Bollywood film crew stops by.
2007 – 2017
Basmati – The Origins
At the foot of the Areitbahn with a view of the Kitzsteinhorn, we are drawn into the center of Zell. The view changes – and so does the establishment. We are opening the first Indian restaurant in the region, with a name that speaks for itself: Basmati.
Here we bring authentic Indian cuisine to the Alpine region – seasoned with familial hospitality and traditional recipes from home. The concept is well received: The locals are excited and even adopt the name of the previous restaurant. One can hear: “Let’s go to Antonio’s Basmati.”
Tourists also show great enthusiasm – especially English curry fans, who head straight to Basmati after a day of skiing. In summer, countless guests from the Middle East find their way to the only establishment in the region that serves their beloved Indian cuisine.
2018 – 2024
Indian cuisine – newly interpreted.
The young boys of the family have now grown into adult men. Through academic stages at WU Vienna and Modul University Vienna, they have come to love the city. Numerous international and professional experiences – from Brazil to the USA and England to the Middle East – eventually lead the family to the federal capital.
The diverse insights into international gastronomy are now combined with decades of experience – and a new concept is born: In-Dish.
The idea: to reinterpret the already established Indian cuisine in Vienna. This challenge is met with enthusiasm – and successfully mastered.
We are the first to succeed in modernizing Indian cuisine in Vienna. From the Federal Chancellor to Bollywood stars to Iron Mike – everyone is thrilled.

In-Dish – Redefined.
The idea of continuing to shape our offerings creatively calls for an operational update. We are closing our doors – temporarily – and redefining the existing, successful concept.
The modern backdrop gives way to the charm of an Old English Style Bombay Café. The comfort increases – and so does our culinary creativity.
In-Dish is establishing itself as a key player in the Vienna gastronomy scene. We are building on what our guests say – and are increasingly hearing the phrase:
“If Indian, then In-Dish.”
Future
Now and tomorrow?
We like to reflect on our journey – as a reminder, as a thank you to our guests, and as a motivation to continue to pamper them culinarily in the future.

Our story has its gastronomic beginnings in the Gastein Valley, in a quiet and secluded transit location called Laderding – to be precise, at the Laderdinger Hof. This traditional inn marked the first milestone of our history after our family father had gained several years of experience in the gastronomy and tourism industry throughout Austria. This is where it all began: with hearty cuisine and finest locally prepared farmer's dishes – so convincing that even Falco and Pavarotti were enchanted by it.

Launched this course
Nachdem ich Freunden und Kunden geholfen hatte, dasselbe zu tun, beschloss ich, alles, was ich gelernt hatte, zu verpacken. Dieser Kurs ist die genaue Roadmap, die ich mir gewünscht hätte, als ich anfing - damit du die Erschöpfung überspringen und direkt damit beginnen kannst, deine eigene Freiheit aufzubauen.
