Restaurant India News: Sheraton Grand Pune Unveils KMCY: A Celebration of Authentic Sichuan Flavors

Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel launches KMCY, a contemporary fine-dining destination dedicated to the rich legacy of Sichuan cuisine. 

KMCY takes its name from four core Sichuan cooking techniques: Kao (roast | grill), Men (braise stew), Chao (stir fry wok toss), and Yen (steam | poach). Together, they capture the essence of the region’s culinary philosophy.

Rooted in the principle of “one dish, one style; each flavor, distinct,” KMCY celebrates the rich traditions of Sichuan cuisine. Every dish is crafted with vibrant ingredients and layered aromatics—bringing together the fiery heat of chilies, the tingling punch of Sichuan peppercorns, and the depth of spices like star anise. From wok-tossed stir-fries and hearty noodle bowls to slow-brewed broths and smoky grilled specialties, each plate is a vivid expression of Sichuan’s bold and diverse flavors.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be hosting the launch of KMCY at Sheraton Grand Pune," said renowned food critic and television host Kunal Vijayakar. "What captivates me most about KMCY is how they've stayed true to the authentic techniques and flavors that define genuine Sichuan cuisine. The Ma-La experience they're creating, that perfect balance of fiery heat and numbing spice, is something Pune has been waiting for. KMCY isn't just serving food; they're bringing the soul of Sichuan to the city, and I can't wait for food lovers to experience this incredible culinary journey."

"At KMCY, we are excited to bring a true taste of Sichuan to Pune, where our guests can experience an intense and soulful culinary tradition," said Supreet Roy, General Manager, Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel. "Our menu is designed around the fundamental cooking styles that define Sichuan cuisine, paired harmoniously with a beverage program featuring floral teas, house-infused cocktails, and refreshing zero-proof drinks crafted to balance the heat and awaken the palate."
