A Culinary Journey Rooted in Passion and Innovation For Pranav Upadhyay
The Indian and Western flavor of his foundation has found an elegant fusion with modern techniques at the hands of Pranav. Global travels and a high level of training have created his style of cooking by adding a unique perspective that honors the union of traditional flavors with modern flair. An innovator, Pranav is the first Indian chef to 3D print indigenous recipes, presenting a proof of how technology can respect and enhance age-old culinary traditions.
At Bombay Brasserie, Pranav redefines dining with his live theatrical presentations that transform each meal into a multisensory experience.

Each creation reflects a deep understanding of global trends yet remains deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Indian cuisine.
Nature and Compassion: A Chef Beyond the Kitchen
Often, inspiration comes to Pranav from nature, as it’s his guide and muse. Besides culinary arts, he works for change. During college time, he led animal rescue missions and saved more than 526 snakes and nearly 300 other animals. These efforts in sustainability and compassion are translated into his kitchen practices for ethical and responsible gastronomy.
Bombay Brasserie: The Canvas for Culinary Delights
Pranav Upadhyay stands poised to redefine the concept of dining in Dubai through the menu of Bombay Brasserie. Every dish is an invitation, bringing nostalgia with all the elements of modernity; every flavor, while so refined, has comforting depth.
