Chef Ramesh Devangodi immigrated to Winnipeg from India in 1998. His interest piqued by the opportunities in Alberta, Ramesh made the move to Edmonton in 2000 and soon fell in love with two things: the New Asian Village restaurant and Sonia Kapur, the owner’s daughter.
Sonia’s father, Harmeet Kapur, and his family run the New Asian Village restaurants, Haweli, Naan-o-licious and The Cheesecake Café, with franchised locations throughout Alberta. “I married into the family in 2001,” Ramesh says. “It has been great; The Cheesecake Café is different from the other restaurants, so it’s a good challenge and change.”
The distinct, family-oriented atmosphere of The Cheesecake Café really appealed to Ramesh, who is now head chef at the popular dining spot. “In the beginning, Harmeet bought the café to diversify and experience new restaurants,” says Ramesh. “When I married Sonia, I took a larger role within the restaurants.”

Alberta’s chief cheesecake baker is The Cheesecake Café. A good restaurant for lunch or dinner, it’s a cheesecake lover’s dream. They always have a ton of flavours on hand and seasonal specials like eggnog and After Eight. The Cheesecake Café only uses Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese and Callebaut chocolate in their cakes. Popular flavours include cookies and cream, salted caramel apple, very berry, Rolo, sour cherry, raspberry, wild blueberry and strawberry.
View this Smart ListThis restaurant is, of course, serving their namesake dish: Cheesecake – a salted caramel apple cheesecake, to be exact. But, they’ll also offer chocolate pretzel cookie sticks, Creole mussels with focaccia and a braised beef short rib in a blueberry demi glaze. If all that food is making you a bit sleepy, try some of their Canterbury coffee – it’s a fair-trade dark roast.
