Abu Dhabi is now home to the newest outpost of Pincode, the brainchild of celebrity chef Kunal Kapur, a celebrated figure in the global culinary world known for elevating Indian cuisine to bold new heights. Following the triumph of Pincode’s Dubai Hills location, Chef Kunal brings his latest culinary experience to The Galleria, Al Maryah Island, where innovation and heritage come together in a unique gastronomic journey. Every dish here not only reflects the heart of India but also adds a global twist that pushes boundaries, designed to satisfy both traditionalists and adventurous food lovers.

At the heart of Pincode’s appeal is Chef Kunal’s meticulous attention to the art of Indian cooking.

Each plate is crafted to be an immersive experience, layered with flavors and aromas that bring diners closer to the authentic yet evolving spirit of Indian cuisine.

The setting of Pincode Abu Dhabi matches the artistry of the food, with an ambiance designed to capture the spirit of India through a modern lens. Under the creative direction of Chetana Vij and Vikram Sharma from IDAG, the space is filled with lush, inviting colors—saffron, indigo, ruby, and emerald—that pay homage to Indian heritage. Artisanal woodwork and a striking veil installation at the entrance create a welcoming and intriguing space, beckoning guests to explore each carefully designed nook and cranny.

Chef Kunal shares, “Abu Dhabi’s diverse and vibrant culinary scene makes it the ideal location for Pincode. Our mission is to celebrate the richness of Indian heritage, and we believe the people here will resonate with our offerings. Each dish and design element is crafted to connect guests with Indian tradition while embracing the evolving culinary landscape.”
