The city has a lot of potential with the Chennai consumer carrying a lot of spending power and wealth. Chennai is maturing and it’s the right time to enter and give the consumers what they have been searching for elsewhere. We have invested Rs. 2..5 crore on just the interiors of the restaurant to create an lavishness for fine living; our collaboration with Manish Malhotra further emphasizes our commitment to bring Chennai the best.”
