This June in India, an Abu Dhabi restaurant pops up with Arabian bites

Watch out for a cultural exchange of the delicious kind – a new pop-up is coming to Mumbai and Gurgaon. Australian-born Chef Jack Jarrott, who has been trained under Chef Gordon Ramsay at his London restaurants and now works in the UAE, is coming to India with his signature open-fire cooking and Arabian-inspired flavours.

Chef Jack heads Sand & Koal, Abu Dhabi’s Michelin Guide-listed open-air beachfront restaurant, which is inside the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental. Known for his open-fire dining concept, Jarrott has also worked at Sucre, The Guild and more award-winning restaurants. 

For his second trip to India (after last year’s Bengaluru pop-up), the Ramsay alumnus is doing a four-day-long pop-up!

What’s on the menu?

On the menu are dishes like charred boneless chicken, saffron rice dolma, dry-spiced seabass, roasted pineapple dessert, and more. Grilled delights and more! Think seasonal, responsibly sourced ingredients with smoky, char-kissed elements and fresh flavours. The Indian curation leans heavily on the chef’s signature Arabian-inspired dishes.
