Tamil New Year
April 7, 2026
This year, Chef Kumar Mahadevan invites you to celebrate at ABHI’s with a specially curated Tamil New Year dinner that honours the traditions and flavours of his native Chennai.
What is Puthandu?
Puthandu, the Tamil New Year, marks the first day of the Tamil calendar and is celebrated annually on April 14th. It’s a time of renewal, joy, and togetherness — where families gather, homes are adorned with intricate kolam designs, and tables overflow with festive feasts.

The ABHI's story
I welcome you to ABHI's to experience fine Indian cuisine. Our dishes use only the best local produce and combine classical traditional recipes with a modern intepretation, creating a true culinary experience.
Our commitment to regional cooking sees a combination of tandoori flavours from the north, classics from my native Chennai and seafood dishes from Goa and other coastal towns.
