It’s a double celebration at Park Hyatt Chennai, as it announces the reopening of its signature-dining destination, The Flying Elephant, for its 10th anniversary month. After a hiatus of over two years, Chennai’s The Flying Elephant has opened in a bolder, innovative and unscripted new avatar offering guests a multi-sensory dining experience that remains unmatched in the city.
From its ground-breaking design, and innovative and exceptionally executed menu to its unscripted and personalized service, The Flying Elephant is the Food and Beverage and Entertainment epicenter of the hotel. It is a dining experience that measures itself with internationally acclaimed dining venues.
Tapping into the vast recipe library of Executive Chef Balaji Natarajan and Chef de Cuisine Abhijit Bitla, the new menu encompasses familiar signature dishes, served surprisingly differently, paying an evolutional tribute to the regions it represents. The food is passionately prepared, thoughtfully plated and interactively served right out of the various show kitchens around the dining floor. Ingredients have been carefully selected, while traditional recipes and preparation methods are respected and fused with modern techniques, textures and flavors.
On the menu you will find dishes from Southeast Asia, India, Italy and the rest of Western Europe with a twist. Some of their must-try’s include Salmon Paani Puri, Whipped Burrata, Wild Mushroom Croquette Curry, our signature Chiang Mai Chaat, Kimchi Chicken Tikka, Barra Kebab and a selection of delicious desserts.
The drinks menu is a curated selection of known classics with modern twists and is like the food menu, ever evolving. It celebrates fresh ingredients and simple preparation methods, focusing each drink’s key flavors. The music selection, delivered by resident DJ Ashish Nagpal, follows and compliments the creative direction of the F&B menus with remixes and versions of well-known classics and current hits.
The restaurant aims to speak to all senses, offering its patrons great food, service and breathtaking architecture. Underlined with a musical soundtrack and purposefully lit spaces the venue entertains and immerses guests as the evening progresses.
In the words of Sascha Lenz, General Manager Park Hyatt Chennai, “We are thrilled to bring The Flying Elephant back to the residents of Chennai in a new avatar and are confident they will love it. The upgraded venue is innovative, bold, dynamic and designed for fun-dining.
