Jamil Ahmad’s passion for the culinary arts arose from humble beginnings early on in his life in Afghanistan. His repertoire first blossomed during his tenure as the chef for DIA USAID in Kandahar City, Afghanistan. He then transitioned to chef at AECOM/SIKA South USAID, where he further amplified his skills and began venturing into western cuisine. Chef Jamil's career then took him to Virginia, where he served as Chef at Saffron, one of Virginia’s sought after Indian restaurants. It was there where he refined his culinary techniques, landing him a year later with the opportunity to become the Head Chef at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Today, Chef Jamil can be found making traditional Afghan dishes and revamping existing concepts with the opportunity to deepen and delight the palettes of the many who are invited to dine in the historic Afghan Embassy. Chef Jamil's goal is to transport those who taste his food to Afghanistan, a land rich in flavor and culture, and introduce them to the foods that first inspired him to pursue his dreams as a chef.
