In Abu Dhabi, Chef Kunal is taking traditional recipes to new heights, putting the spotlight on fresh, ingredient-driven dishes, and giving classic favorites a creative, modern twist that truly delights. Here, dining goes beyond just a meal—it’s an experience, with each space crafted to create layers of sensory moments.

"Abu Dhabi is a melting pot of cultures and flavours, making it the perfect location for Pincode. The city's vibrant culinary scene and appreciation for diverse cuisines align perfectly with our mission to showcase the richness of Indian heritage. I believe that the people of Abu Dhabi will resonate with our unique offerings, and we are excited to share our passion for food in a city that celebrates both tradition and modernity,” said Celebrity Chef Kunal Kapur.

Chef Kunal, known for showcasing the diverse flavors of India’s regions and states on the global stage, has crafted a menu that captures the essence of Indian cuisine while redefining familiar boundaries. Inspired by his travels around the world and secrets passed down through generations, the menu is a delicious mix of dishes that showcase the labour-intensive art of Indian cooking. Diners can expect a carefully balanced use of spices, ground in-house just like in traditional Indian kitchens, along with elegant presentation and distinct flavours in dishes. The Dal Makhni, for instance, takes 12 hours to prepare, while the Pincode Signature Biryani reflects Chef Kunal’s, ingredient-forward approach. Adding to the staples, playful dishes like the Spiral Chaat, a fresh take on classic street food, and Saag Burrata bring richness and warmth to the table.

"At Pincode, we are not just serving food; we are celebrating the rich tapestry of Indian culture that spans generations and borders. Each dish on our menu tells a story, reflecting the diverse flavours and traditions that make Indian cuisine so unique. Our design is a visual homage to this heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics to create an inviting atmosphere that resonates with both nostalgia and contemporary vibrancy. We aim to connect our guests to their roots while embracing the dynamic influences that shape the culinary landscape today. Pincode is a space where everyone can come together to experience the warmth of Indian hospitality and the joy of great food,” said Chef Kunal.

Pincode Abu Dhabi is an eclectic mix of artifacts and accessories that personalize the environment, telling stories that resonate with the heritage and global influences of the Indian diaspora. Striking a balance between a relaxed atmosphere and visual stimulation, Pincode features plush seating and strategic lighting that invite guests to unwind and enjoy their meals.
