Pullman Chennai Anna Salai introduces Up North, an elevated rooftop dining experience that brings the bold, authentic flavors of North India to the heart of Chennai. With breathtaking city views, a vibrant alfresco setting, and a menu that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, Up North is set to redefine the city’s culinary landscape.
Designed for those who appreciate fine dining with a contemporary twist, Up North offers a meticulously curated menu that pays homage to the rich culinary heritage of North India. Guests can savor small plates like Kadak Murgh Seekh Kebab, Bhatinda Chicken Pops, Truffle Edmame Patti Samosa and Khubani Hara Bhara, alongside signature dishes such as Patiala Murgh Biriyani, Up North Nalli Gosht, and Murgh Beliram, each crafted with premium ingredients and bold spices. Every dish tells a story, honoring time-honored recipes while incorporating modern techniques to elevate flavors. Complementing the menu is an exquisite selection of India-inspired cocktails and premium spirits, carefully curated to enhance the dining experience.
“In a city known for its deep-rooted culinary culture, Up North is an exciting addition to Chennai’s evolving gastronomy landscape,” said Chef Deepak Dangde, Director of Culinary, the visionary behind the menu. “While Chennai is famous for its vibrant South Indian flavors, we see a growing curiosity for bold North Indian dishes with a modern touch. At Up North, we respect the authenticity of classic recipes but reinterpret them using global techniques.”
Set against the stunning Chennai skyline, Up North offers an ambiance that is both warm and sophisticated. The red brick walls, inspired by North India’s timeless architecture, provide natural insulation and soundproofing, ensuring a cozy and intimate setting. A glass canopy allows guests to dine under the open sky, making it the perfect venue for everything from romantic dinners to lively rooftop gatherings. The taste of North India meets rooftop elegance, where friends & families can savor bold flavors, sip on inventive cocktails, and soak in panoramic views of the city skyline for the ultimate rooftop experience. As day transitions to night, the space transforms with warm lighting and progressive music, creating an enchanting atmosphere where every meal becomes a celebration.
“Globally, diners are seeking more than just great food—they crave immersive experiences, where flavors, ambiance, and storytelling come together,” said Soumendra Chakrabarty, Director of Food & Beverage at Pullman Chennai Anna Salai. “Up North brings that vision to life. North Indian cuisine is often associated with heavy gravies and rich flavors, but we’ve designed a menu that’s lighter, more refined, and perfect for Chennai’s climate. Our Bhutte ke Kebab, for example, is made with sweet corn sourced from local farms, ensuring freshness and a regional connection, while our cocktails incorporate ingredients like raw mango, saffron, and rose—flavors that resonate with both Indian palates and global mixology trends. Every element of Up North is curated to engage the senses, offering guests a dining experience that is indulgent yet refreshing.”
Beyond the exceptional cuisine, Up North elevates the dining experience with curated wine pairings and exclusive tasting menus, designed to take guests on a journey through the bold and diverse flavors of North India. Whether it’s a casual outing or a special occasion, every visit is designed to be immersive and unforgettable.
