March 2025: Fireback, part of EHV International, is bringing its authentic Thai flavours to the shores of Chennai with an exclusive pop-up at Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa, Mahabalipuram on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of March 2025. Available exclusively for dinner, this experience will showcase the rich heritage of Thai cuisine, crafted with Fireback’s signature fire-grilled technique and contemporary finesse.
Fireback is an exciting Thai restaurant and bar with the legendary Chef David Thompson as Culinary Director and Chef Kaustubh Haldipur as Brand Chef. Hidden behind an old Portuguese bungalow, Fireback serves authentic Thai food at a picturesque riverside setting in Siolim, Goa. The name is inspired by the Thai national bird, the Siamese Fireback, and reflects the fire-grilled cooking behind many of the dishes.
Nestled along the scenic East Coast Road (ECR), Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa, Mahabalipuram is a luxurious beachfront retreat that seamlessly blends elegance with coastal charm. With breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal, world-class hospitality, and award-winning dining experiences, it is the preferred destination for leisure getaways, weddings, and corporate retreats.
For three nights only, diners in Chennai will have the opportunity to savour Fireback’s celebrated menu, featuring a thoughtfully curated selection. The vegetarian set menu begins with Ma Hor, featuring pineapple, cherry tomato, and palm sugar, alongside Raw Papaya Som Tam and Grilled Sweet Potato with gorlae sauce. Guests can then savour the comforting Coconut & Galangal Soup before moving on to mains like Banana Leaf-Wrapped Tofu in red curry marinade, Dry Panaeng Curry of Raw Banana, and Green Curry, all served with steamed jasmine rice. The non-vegetarian set menu highlights Grilled Southern Lamb with gorlae sauce and Banana Leaf-Wrapped Seabass in red curry marinade. For a richer flavour, guests can enjoy the Dry Panaeng Curry of Pulled Pork. To conclude, the dessert selection features Cashew Nut Pudding with caramelized taro, Coconut & Jaggery Ice Cream, and Tropical Fruits with perfumed syrup and crushed ice.
A limited-time experience awaits at C Salt, the resort’s signature coastal restaurant, renowned for its fresh seafood, open-air ambience, and authentic Southern Indian grills. Nestled by the beach, it offers breathtaking ocean views alongside expertly crafted dishes made with the freshest catch and regional spices. Fireback brings the vibrant flavours of Thailand to Chennai, offering a one-of-a-kind culinary experience that transports you to the coasts of Southeast Asia—right by the Bay of Bengal. With limited seating each evening, early reservations are highly recommended.
