The Flying Elephant - Park Hyatt Chennai

The Flying Elephant is the main all-day restaurant at the Park Hyatt Chennai, 39 Velachery Main Road in Guindy, South-West Chennai. It is an upscale multi-cuisine venue in a design hotel, offering Indian and international dishes prepared in live, open kitchens that are part of the dining room. For visitors, it is a flexible choice for groups who want both Indian and Western options in one place, as well as for business meals and hotel guests.

The menu includes wood-fired pizza, a tandoori platter, seafood grill and Chettinad lamb, which reflect the combination of Indian and international cooking. The open kitchens let diners watch the wood oven, the tandoor and the grill in operation, and dishes are cooked to order. Because the menu spans several cuisines, it suits mixed groups and families more than visitors seeking a single regional style.

The dining room is spacious, contemporary and design-led, with a lively but controlled atmosphere created by the live kitchens. Noise is moderate, service is polished, and smart casual dress is appropriate. Service runs approximately 12:30PM-3PM for lunch and 7PM-11:30PM for dinner, and hotel timings should be confirmed. Reservations are recommended for dinner and can be made through the Park Hyatt Chennai website; weekends and holidays book earlier. Booking a few days ahead is sensible.

A meal costs about ₹2,500-5,000 per person (roughly $26-52 USD). The hotel's beverage programme covers wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, with specific selections best confirmed directly. The Guindy location is convenient for visitors staying near the hotel or travelling to and from the airport side of the city.
