"Had a blast eating at FUFU. They have the best sushis in the city and I absolutely loved their Nasi goreng. It has a unique taste altogether compared to the others. And the vibe of the place is just outstanding."
Named after the Chinese character Fu (福) — happiness and good fortune, displayed upside-down to signal blessings have arrived. Asia's loudest, boldest, most layered food culture. Undiluted.
About FUFU
FUFU is the pan-Asian restaurant on CP Ramaswamy Road, Alwarpet, Chennai — BORN's flagship and most ambitious concept. A direct response to the "dilution of Asian flavours" in Chennai's dining scene. Raw fish remains pristine. Broths are slow-built and deeply layered. Chillies, garlic, and smoke are allowed to shine without compromise. The 94-seat restaurant spans Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisines — a full expression of Asia's bold food culture — with a 12-seater private dining room and the legendary Mouthwash drink. "FUFU draws strongly from the spirit of the tiger — intensity, confidence, and presence." — Japtej Ahluwalia, Co-founder.

The Mouthwash is FUFU's signature drink — a tall, sweet blue beverage served over ice, created as a palate cleanser after the bold garlic, ginger, chilli-heavy flavours of Asian cuisine. It was born from the joke: "You can't kiss after an Asian meal." At FUFU, now you can.
