Satbhag "Paul" Warraich, president of the Moti chain, is, like his restaurants, somewhat of a Tokyo icon.

A long-term veteran of Japan, Paul Warraich has spent nearly 30 years taking care of the restaurant chain his brother, Sunny, began in 1978 with the Moti Akasaka branch.

The chain currently boasts four Tokyo branches and two in Yokohama, all serving Punjabi North Indian food. Warraich is in charge of all operations, including marketing, purchases, accounts, and policies on food and service.
