Badam Malai Broccoli
The Art of Unpredictable Comfort
Stepping into PHURR to experience the new menu feels like watching an artist return to a familiar canvas with a bolder, more mature palette. The foundational philosophy remains unchanged—vegetarian food should comfort the soul while constantly surprising the palate—but the execution has evolved dramatically. The kitchen has cleverly bypassed the trap of overly complicated fusion for the sake of shock value. Instead, regional classics and beloved street staples are reexamined through a refined lens, elevating humble ingredients through unexpected textural pairings, slow-cooked depth, and artistic presentation.

The culinary journey begins with appetizers that instantly redefine expectations. Take the Badam Malai Broccoli, a dish that transforms a humble green vegetable into a luxurious star course. The broccoli retains a delightful, smoky char from the tandoor, which cuts cleanly through the velvety richness of a slow-cooked almond malai glaze, finished with the satisfying crunch of toasted nuts. Equally compelling is the Potato Salli Chole Chaat, a vibrant homage to street-food culture that strikes a delicate balance between crunch, heat, and tangy sweetness. Spicy, slow-simmered chickpeas are layered beneath cooling mint chutney and topped with a generous mountain of golden, crisp potato salli, creating a harmony of textures in every single spoon.

For those who crave nostalgic comfort elevated by gourmet craftsmanship, the Bombay Cheese Toast is an absolute triumph. Far from a simple cafe snack, PHURR’s version is a multi-layered masterpiece stuffed with smoky roasted peppers, fiery chilli paneer, and a gooey, molten blanket of melted cheese that pulls apart dramatically. Moving into the main courses, the Poriyal Kofta stands out as a brilliant celebration of South Indian flavor profiles. Soft, delicately spiced zucchini koftas swim in a fragrant, deeply roasted coconut and tomato gravy that carries the comforting warmth of home-style tempering while maintaining the finesse of modern gastronomy.
Beyond the headline creations, the menu demonstrates an impressive commitment to inclusivity. A dedicated selection of Chef’s Specials sits alongside an expansive array of vegan and Jain options, ensuring that guests with specific dietary preferences never feel like an afterthought. Every dish, regardless of its dietary classification, carries the same bold intensity and visual charm.

“A menu should evolve with the restaurant behind it. Over the last two years, PHURR has grown into something much bigger than we imagined, and we felt the menu needed to reflect who we are today. Rather than making small additions, we chose to start with a clean slate and refine every little element needed to make it feel more PHURR.”
— Rahul Lunawat, Co-Founder, PHURR
Avian Mixology and the Bold Spirit of Sharing
A major highlight of PHURR’s reinvention lies at its zero-proof bar, where mixology is elevated into an art form. The new beverage programme draws creative inspiration from the avian world, crafting drinks that mirror the lightness, vibrancy, and freedom implied by the restaurant’s name. The Cane Canary is an immediate crowd-pleaser, weaving together the natural, earthy sweetness of fresh sugarcane with zesty ginger, slapped mint, and the striking indigo hue of blue pea flower. For a brighter, herbal kick, the Mint Macaw balances sharp citrus notes with layered undertones of fresh mint and cooling peppermint. Meanwhile, the Gongura Goose brings a daring, hyper-local twist to the glass by infusing the sharp, tangy punch of sorrel leaves with vibrant citrus, producing a tart, refreshing palate cleanser that pairs brilliantly with rich, spiced starters.

However, the most conversational element of this new chapter isn’t just what is on the plate or in the glass, but how PHURR is sharing it with the world. Through an audacious digital OOH campaign titled Now Copy This, the restaurant is doing something virtually unheard of in the competitive F&B space: openly revealing the exact recipes behind its most iconic signature dishes and new menu stars. In an industry where trade secrets are fiercely guarded behind kitchen doors, PHURR is inviting diners, home cooks, and fellow chefs to replicate their culinary magic at home. It is a confident move that reinforces a wholesome belief—that true hospitality is about generosity, and that good food becomes infinitely more meaningful when it is celebrated and shared beyond the four walls of a dining room.
