Chúfáng Asian Kitchen & Bar, the acclaimed Pan-Asian culinary destination, is thrilled to announce its grand debut in Pune. Derived from the Mandarin and Cantonese word for ‘kitchen,’ Chúfáng embodies the heart of culinary artistry and promises to deliver an authentic Pan-Asian cultural and gastronomical experience to the vibrant city of Pune. Conceived by actor, model, and restaurateur Arvin Tucker, Chúfáng Asian Kitchen & Bar first captivated diners in Mumbai’s bustling Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Inspired by his extensive travels, Tucker envisioned a restaurant that would transport patrons through a journey of dynamic flavors and thoughtfully curated dining experiences. In a remarkably short span, Chúfáng established itself as one of Mumbai’s top destinations for Pan-Asian cuisine, winning hearts with its inviting ambiance and innovative dishes.
“With just 72 covers, we would be sold out in advance on weekends, often having to turn away 8-10 tables,” shares Arvin Tucker, highlighting the overwhelming demand and the restaurant’s immediate success in Mumbai. Recognizing the constraints of limited space and high rental costs, the strategic decision was made to relocate to Pune, paving the way for an even grander culinary experience.
The new Chúfáng Pune is a spacious 200-seat restaurant, offering a seating capacity three times larger than its BKC predecessor. This expansive new venue features two private dining areas and an upper floor dedicated to exclusive celebrations, providing the perfect setting for intimate gatherings, corporate events, and special occasions.
Located just 0.5 km from Pune International Airport, Chúfáng Pune benefits from being at the heart of East Pune’s most vibrant locality, Viman Nagar. This area’s culturally rich and diverse population, combined with a thriving community of professionals, makes it an ideal setting for Chúfáng Asian Kitchen & Bar. Viman Nagar is a dynamic mix of residential and commercial spaces, boasting premier shopping destinations like Phoenix Market City, upscale lifestyle centers, esteemed educational institutions such as Symbiosis Institute of Design and Symbiosis Law School, IT parks, business complexes, and renowned five-star hotels. With over 100 organizations and a workforce exceeding 30,000 professionals, Viman Nagar remains one of Pune’s most bustling and strategically significant business districts.
At Chúfáng, the focus is on curating refined yet vibrant culinary experiences, bringing the artistry of the kitchen directly to the table. “Our flavors pay homage to tradition while embracing the modern palate, ensuring each dish resonates with depth and innovation,” says Tucker. The serene ambiance, set against a tranquil backdrop, enhances the harmony between time-honored recipes and contemporary craftsmanship. From impeccable service to exquisite cuisine, Chúfáng invites guests to immerse themselves in a celebration of flavors and elegance.
