Fireback, the renowned Thai restaurant and bar from EHV International, is bringing its distinctive flavours to Chennai with an exclusive pop-up at Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa, Mahabalipuram. Taking place on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of March 2025, this special event will offer an unparalleled dining experience, featuring authentic Thai cuisine prepared with Fireback's signature fire-grilled technique and contemporary finesse.
With the legendary Chef David Thompson as Culinary Director and Chef Kaustubh Haldipur as Brand Chef, Fireback has established itself as a go-to destination for Thai cuisine in Goa. Tucked away behind an old Portuguese bungalow in Siolim, the restaurant is set along a picturesque riverside, offering an intimate and immersive dining experience. The name Fireback is inspired by Thailand’s national bird, the Siamese Fireback, a reflection of the fire-grilled cooking techniques that define its culinary approach.
Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa, Mahabalipuram, located along the scenic East Coast Road, is a luxurious beachfront retreat known for its world-class hospitality and award-winning dining experiences. The resort provides the perfect setting for this exclusive collaboration, offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal and an ambiance that seamlessly blends elegance with coastal charm.
The three-day pop-up will showcase a thoughtfully curated menu, highlighting Fireback’s celebrated dishes. The vegetarian set menu begins with Ma Hor, a vibrant combination of pineapple, cherry tomato, and palm sugar, accompanied by Raw Papaya Som Tam and Grilled Sweet Potato with gorlae sauce. Guests will then indulge in a comforting Coconut & Galangal Soup before moving on to mains such as Banana Leaf-Wrapped Tofu in red curry marinade, Dry Panaeng Curry of Raw Banana, and Green Curry, all served with steamed jasmine rice.
The non-vegetarian menu includes Grilled Southern Lamb with gorlae sauce, Banana Leaf-Wrapped Seabass in red curry marinade, and Dry Panaeng Curry of Pulled Pork. To end the meal on a sweet note, diners can enjoy Cashew Nut Pudding with caramelized taro, Coconut & Jaggery Ice Cream, and Tropical Fruits with perfumed syrup and crushed ice.
This limited-time experience will take place at C Salt, the resort’s signature coastal restaurant, which is known for its fresh seafood, open-air ambiance, and authentic Southern Indian grills. Overlooking the ocean, C Salt is the ideal venue to host Fireback’s culinary showcase, bringing the vibrant flavours of Thailand to Chennai in a setting that transports diners to the coasts of Southeast Asia.
With limited seating available each evening, early reservations are highly recommended. Guests looking to embark on this extraordinary gastronomic journey can make reservations by contacting Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa at +91 7824010209.

Chinese Wok, India’s largest home-grown Desi Chinese QSR brand, marked its 10th anniversary with a celebration rooted in joy and community spirit. Instead of limiting the milestone to its restaurants, the brand chose to give back by serving more than 10,000 freshly prepared meals to school children across 10 cities in 10 days.
The initiative spanned major cities including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, and Lucknow, reaching underserved communities with hearty Desi Chinese meals. Each event became a celebration of togetherness, with children enjoying not just the food but also moments of laughter, games, and branded merchandise that made the experience memorable.
What made the initiative truly special was the hands-on participation of hundreds of Chinese Wok employees from restaurants, regional offices, and the corporate team. They came together to cook, serve, and spend time with the children, ensuring the celebration went beyond food to create genuine connections.
Reflecting on the milestone, Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Director, Lenexis Foodworks, shared,
“Completing 10 years is a proud milestone for all of us at Chinese Wok. We wanted to celebrate not just within our restaurants, but by bringing joy to children and communities that inspire us every day. This initiative reflects our long-term belief that food can be a force for good, and we will continue to build on this commitment as we grow.”
This initiative also underscores the larger vision of Lenexis Foodworks, the parent company of Chinese Wok, Big Bowl, and The Momo Co. By focusing on food as a force for good, the group continues to expand its footprint across India while making a lasting impact in the communities it serves.

At Yuki, sipping tequila is no longer just about salt and lime, it’s about exploring bold flavours, subtle aromas, and creative twists inspired by Pan-Asian flair. This stylish spot isn’t just a feast for the palate with its cuisine, but now also delights with a cocktail menu that’s bursting with personality.
Whether you’re a tequila enthusiast or just cocktail-curious, Yuki’s mixologists have designed a lineup that balances classic notes with playful innovation. Here’s what’s pouring:
Pandan Teq-Tea
This one’s a game-changer. A gentle blend of tequila, pandan syrup, and a hint of lime creates a smooth, slightly sweet drink with a vanilla-like aroma. It’s soft, fragrant, and a total crowd-pleaser for those who like their cocktails a little off the beaten path.
Summer in Osaka
If summer had a signature drink, this would be it. Imagine tequila meeting creamy toasted coconut, refreshing coconut water, earthy matcha crème, and a dusting of beetroot. The result? A layered, tropical cocktail that feels like a warm breeze with every sip.
Tuk Tuk Tom
This one’s for the bold-hearted. Inspired by Southeast Asian street flavors, it brings the iconic zing of Tom Yum into your glass. Tequila mingles with chilli heat, parsley freshness, and a citrusy lift from lime, giving you a spicy, herby hit that lingers in the best way.
The Classic Margarita
Some things never go out of style. Yuki’s take on the Margarita keeps it clean and crisp, premium agave, a splash of orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It’s a simple reminder of why this cocktail became a global favourite in the first place.
Yuki Picante
Think tropical meets spicy. Pineapple juice, lime, and agave nectar form the base, while coriander and jalapeño bring a zesty punch. It's lively, bold, and designed to wake up your taste buds.
Yuki doesn’t just serve cocktails, it curates experiences in a glass. Whether you're out with friends or just winding down after a long day, their tequila range adds the perfect spark to your evening. So the next time you’re at Yuki, raise a glass to flavour, flair, and a sip-worthy adventure.
