Known for his disciplined approach to ingredients, seasonality, and craftsmanship, his cuisine reflects balance, clarity, and refined elegance.

Naked & Famous, known as the first of its kind octagonal bar, is celebrating its first International Whiskey Day with a special showcase of two whiskey-based cocktails, The Showgirl and 3 Acts of Citrus.

The celebration begins with The Showgirl, a cocktail crafted using Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey, maraschino cherry, mandarin orange, and aromatic bitters. The drink carries a classic character with notes of sour mash, fruitiness, cherry, and zesty citrus, balanced by a bittersweet depth. While it stays true to traditional flavours, it also brings a subtle twist that adds to its appeal.

The second offering, 3 Acts of Citrus, is made with Jameson Irish Whiskey, blended with tri-citrus marmalade and green lime. This cocktail delivers a bright and refreshing profile, with tart citrus notes complemented by a clean malt and whiskey base, creating a smooth and balanced finish.

Together, these cocktails reflect Naked & Famous’s approach to reimagining familiar drink styles through refined technique and flavour. The bar presents a fresh yet approachable way for guests to experience whiskey without moving too far from classic preferences.

Marking the occasion, Naked & Famous invites guests to raise a toast with The Showgirl and 3 Acts of Citrus, celebrating whiskey through two distinct and thoughtfully crafted creations.


Nashville Fried Chicken Has Landed in Pune and the Crispy Revolution Is Here

Nashville Fried Chicken Has Landed in Pune and the Crispy Revolution Is Here

Pune's fried chicken scene just got a serious upgrade. Nashville Fried Chicken, the bold comfort food concept from Zorawar Kalra and Massive Restaurants Pvt Ltd, has officially arrived in the city, bringing the same crispy, flavour-packed experience that has already built a loyal following across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

This isn't your standard fried chicken chain. Nashville Fried Chicken has a very specific approach to getting it right, and the details matter. The chicken is massaged with robust spices and marinated for 18 hours before it's ever fried. The buns are proofed for 18 hours to achieve that soft, cloud-like texture that holds up to the fillings without falling apart. And the sauces, including Comeback Sauce, Secret Sauce, Honey Mustard, and Hot n Spicy, are all made in-house. Every element of the experience has been thought through, which is exactly what you'd expect from the team behind Louis Burger and Slyce Pizza.

The menu covers a lot of ground and does it well. The signature Fried Chicken Bucket with Peri Peri and Hot n Spicy sauces is the go-to for those who want heat and plenty of it. Glazed Chicken Tenders and Wings bring a slightly different texture to the table, while the Nashville Style Fried Chicken Burger, finished with spicy slaw and a dusting of paprika, is the standout sandwich on the menu. The Big Cluck Burger, Tandoori Fried Chicken Burger, and Hot American Summer round out the non-vegetarian options, while Pretty Boy Fries, Clucking Coop Wrap, and Fiery Double Chicken Wrap give you more reasons to order generously. Vegetarian options are also on the menu for those who want something from the spread.

For delivery, the packaging has been specifically designed to keep the chicken crispy throughout the journey, which matters more than it sounds when you're ordering fried chicken at home or at the office.

Zorawar Kalra shared his enthusiasm for the Pune launch. "Having seen the love from our patrons across India for Louis Burger, we are thrilled to now bring the bold flavours of Nashville Fried Chicken to Pune. Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a menu that combines global culinary expertise with the authentic indulgence of great fried chicken. With Pune's vibrant food culture and love for comfort food, we are excited to offer fried chicken enthusiasts a truly exceptional experience that they can enjoy from the comfort of their homes."

Nashville Fried Chicken is available on Zomato and Swiggy in Pune.
