Wiki/Biography
Ryan Tham was born on Sunday, 18 April 1982 (age 39 years; as in 2021) in Mumbai. His zodiac sign is Aries. He attended GD Somani Memorial School and HR College in Mumbai to complete his schooling. Subsequently, he moved to Griffith University, Australia to pursue graduate studies in Business and Restaurant Management (2004). Growing up in a family of top-tier restaurant owners, Ryan wanted to run his own restaurant since he was a teenager. When Ryan returned from Australia, his grandfather’s 45-year-old restaurant, the Mandarin, was closed (2003), and his father, Henry, was setting up a fine dining resto-bar in its place. The restaurant was launched in 2005 and named ‘Henry Tham’. Ryan suggested his father add a bar to ‘Henry Thom’, an idea imported from Australia.
