Celebrity chef and MasterChef judge Kunal Kapur has brought his signature Pincode dining experience to Mohali, offering food enthusiasts a unique culinary journey that blends global techniques with local ingredients. The new outlet, located in the heart of the city, aims to redefine fine dining in the region.
What is Pincode Experience?
The Pincode concept, pioneered by Kapur, is built around the idea of exploring regional cuisines through the lens of postal codes. Each dish is inspired by a specific location, capturing the essence of its culture and flavors. The menu changes periodically to showcase different regions, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience for repeat visitors.
Signature Dishes
Some of the standout offerings include the 'Pincode 110001' – a tribute to New Delhi's Connaught Place, featuring a fusion of North Indian and Mughlai influences. Another highlight is 'Pincode 400001', which draws inspiration from Mumbai's street food scene, presenting a modern twist on classic favorites like vada pav and pav bhaji.
Kapur, known for his innovative approach to Indian cuisine, has personally curated the menu to ensure each dish tells a story. The restaurant also features an open kitchen, allowing diners to watch the chefs at work and engage with the culinary process.
Ambiance and Location
The Mohali outlet is designed with a contemporary aesthetic, combining warm tones with modern artwork. The seating arrangement caters to both intimate dinners and group gatherings, making it suitable for various occasions. Located in a prime area, the restaurant is easily accessible and offers ample parking.

Speaking at the launch, Kunal Kapur expressed his excitement about bringing the Pincode concept to Mohali. 'I have always believed that food is a medium to connect people and cultures. With Pincode, I want to take diners on a journey across India, one postal code at a time. Mohali, with its growing food scene, is the perfect place for this experience.'
The restaurant has already received positive feedback from early visitors, who have praised the creativity and quality of the dishes. Kapur plans to introduce seasonal menus and special events, including chef's table experiences and cooking workshops, to further engage the local community.
