The story
At The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, Pincode by Kunal Kapur presents an Indian kitchen that draws from the country's rich tapestry of regional flavours. The restaurant’s name and concept pay homage to the iconic foodie destinations of India, each best identified by its own pincode. Here, the team borrows the nostalgia of treasured family recipes whispered through generations and the legendary food scenes of places from the lively North to the enchanting coastal South.
The atmosphere is designed to feel familiar yet endlessly inviting—a space where everyone finds a home. This welcoming ethos is matched by a menu that reinterprets classic Indian cuisine with a contemporary touch. Diners can expect dishes that tell tales of India’s humbling days, presented in a setting that blends modern comfort with subtle design cues.
Chef Kunal Kapur, a celebrated name in Indian gastronomy, leads the kitchen. His approach respects tradition while embracing innovation, resulting in a dining experience that has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction. This recognition underscores the restaurant’s commitment to quality and its place among Abu Dhabi’s noteworthy dining destinations.
Pincode is part of a broader collection of locations, including outposts in Dubai and Delhi, but the Abu Dhabi branch at The Galleria stands out for its refined yet relaxed approach to Indian food. Whether for lunch or dinner, the restaurant offers both air-conditioned comfort and outdoor seating, making it suitable for private parties or an intimate meal. The cuisine is Indian, but the execution is global in its precision and appeal.
