Far from the hustle of modern city life, a new chapter in Chennai’s culinary story has begun, The New Punjab Club is now open in Anna Nagar East, inviting guests to relive a bygone era of refinement, indulgence, and Northern royal kitchens.

Inspired by the timeless charm of old-world gentlemen’s clubs, The New Punjab Club brings together the sophistication of English-style club culture and the depth of Punjabi culinary heritage. The ambiance, decked in emerald greens, aged gold, vintage brass accents, and chandeliers, evokes an atmosphere where everything, from the silver on your table to the folded napkin, whispers elegance.

But the real star is the food. And not just food - an experience, curated with care and presented with flair. Rooted in North West Frontier cuisine, each dish is a carefully orchestrated balance of nostalgia, finesse, and artistry.

Whether it’s the crispy Aloo Tokri Chaat, reminiscent of Kanpur streets, the creamy, slow-cooked Daal Makhani drawing from Punjabi hearths, or Raan-e-Nishat, a 17-hour-marinated lamb wonder, each dish sings of place, memory, and mastery. For meat lovers, the Mutton Rogan Josh pays homage to royal Lucknowi and Kashmiri traditions.

Chef Peter Tseng, Culinary Director, Pricol Gourmet who leads The New Punjab Club shared that,

"What makes The New Punjab Club truly special is its commitment to quality, sourcing ingredients from trusted local producers and embracing a farm-to-table philosophy that respects the land, the farmers, and sustainable practices"

The servers, poised and polished are more than just staff; they are custodians of the experience, carrying forward the energy of the room with grace and precision. Each course flows into the next like a perfectly composed symphony, supported by a backdrop of heritage, hospitality, and hushed opulence. To enrich the experience further, Chef Rajat Gurung, Brand Chef at The New Punjab Club, will also be available for a one-on-one interaction during your visit.

With its intimate setting and attention to detail, The New Punjab Club caters to all couples, families, friends, and even solo diners looking for a quiet indulgence.

In a major win for India’s Alco-Bev landscape, DŌAAB India Craft Whisky has been crowned ‘India Whisky of the Year 2025’ at the Berlin International Spirits Competition, bagging a Gold Medal with 95 points. This recognition marks a milestone for Indian single malts on the global stage, spotlighting DŌAAB as a symbol of bold craftsmanship and storytelling.

Produced by Globus Spirits Ltd., DŌAAB’s debut release, titled "01 Six Blind Men and the Elephant," is a limited-edition single malt aged exclusively in 100% ex-bourbon barrels. With only 500 casks ever produced, the whisky offers a unique tasting journey — bursting with tropical fruits, honey, vanilla, dried dates, toffee, and oak on the nose, and delivering barley malts, cinnamon, toasted almonds, and mellow oak on the palate.

DŌAAB’s award tally doesn't stop at Berlin. The whisky also earned Silver at the International Spirits Challenge 2025 in London, and Bronze with 89 points at the London Spirits Competition, along with a national honour as Indian Single Malt Whisky of the Year 2025.

"To be named India Whisky of the Year and win at the world's most respected spirits competitions is an extraordinary honour," said Mr. Shekhar Swarup, Joint Managing Director, Globus Spirits Ltd.
"DŌAAB is our bold statement to the world about Indian craftsmanship — rooted in tradition, elevated by innovation, and ready for the global stage."

Blending Indian heritage with modern expression, DŌAAB is reshaping global perceptions of Indian whisky. Each bottle reflects a narrative of artistry, rarity, and refined flavour, aligning perfectly with the brand’s mission to create contemporary spirits that remain deeply Indian at heart.

France's cult-favourite gourmet hot dog brand, Frank Famous Hot Dog, has officially touched down in India — with its debut outlet now open at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Hyderabad.

Known for its signature Roll-Dog, a premium twist on the classic hot dog, Frank has been reimagining fast food since its founding in France in 2020. With a bold European aesthetic, gourmet ingredients, and a cult-like following across France, Switzerland, and Belgium, Frank is now expanding its bite-sized revolution into the Indian market.

The Hyderabad outlet, located in the Arrival Terminal of RGIA, aims to give travellers a taste of global street food right after they land. From their iconic gourmet Roll-Dogs to loaded fries, refreshing beverages, and vegetarian options tailored for Indian palates, Frank is ready to spice up India’s QSR scene—one bun at a time.

With India’s appetite for fast-casual international brands on the rise, this debut marks an important step in Frank’s global expansion. Plans are already underway for more outlets at major airports and on high streets across the country.

"We’re not just selling hot dogs; we’re creating an experience—bold, fast, and gourmet. India is a key part of our growth story, and Hyderabad was the perfect city to kick things off," said a representative from the brand.

Frank Famous Hot Dog is setting a new standard for airport dining — one Roll-Dog at a time.
