In a move that promises to tantalize taste buds and enrich palates, Saleem’s, the esteemed culinary institution in Delhi, is embarking on an exciting journey to the vibrant city of Chennai. Huma Qureshi, daughter of the celebrated restaurateur Saleem Qureshi, is set to carry forward her family’s heritage.
The legacy of Saleem’s traces its origins to the modest beginnings of Huma’s father, Saleem Qureshi. With a humble rented space he set out on a culinary odyssey that would redefine the gastronomic scene in Delhi and beyond.
The upcoming Saleem’s Chennai menu will pay homage to the beloved classics, intertwining them with fresh creations. This endeavour is a collaborative venture with the creative minds behind Bask By Coffee, the Shah brothers – Nirav, Bhavesh, and Pratik.
The next generation of the Qureshi family, represented by Huma and her brothers Hasin and Saqib, is determined to carry the legacy forward with zeal. Their vision extends beyond Chennai, as they contemplate the launch of a frozen food line and the establishment of new venues in various cities.
Huma Qureshi expresses her excitement, saying, “We are thrilled to bring the flavors of Saleem’s to the vibrant city of Chennai. This expansion marks more than just a new chapter for us—it’s a celebration of diverse tastes, cultures, and the passion for crafting unforgettable dining experiences. Chennai’s rich culinary heritage inspires us to present our very best. This journey signifies a beautiful fusion of traditions, and we eagerly anticipate Chennai’s embrace of the exquisite taste of Saleem’s.” As Chennai prepares to savour the gastronomic marvel that Saleem’s promises to bring, this endeavour stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of legacy and innovation, bridging culinary traditions across regions.
