Our Story

Pumpkin Tales was created with the vision of bringing a fresh dining experience to Chennai — one that blends global inspiration with a deep commitment to sustainability, wellness, and flavour. Rooted in the belief that food brings people together, we serve original recipes influenced by our journeys from Singapore to Canada and beyond, all in a warm, welcoming space designed for connection, conversation, and community.

Our Chef

Chindi Varadarajulu, the heart behind Pumpkin Tales, is passionate about traditional recipes, bold authentic flavours, and clean, preservative-free cooking. Originally from Singapore and later based in Vancouver, Chindi brought her global palate to Chennai — along with a craving for her breakfast favourites: American coffee and buttery croissants. So, she built a place that served both — and so much more. With over 25 years in the restaurant industry, Chindi brings creativity, warmth, and adventure to every dish that leaves the kitchen.

Slow Food Philosophy

Slow Food does not mean your food is slow to cook! It just means we spend longer finding the freshest produce from as close to home as possible!

At Pumpkin Tales, we embrace the Slow Food philosophy — a celebration of traditional recipes, forgotten techniques, and wholesome, unhurried cooking. Our menu is rooted in this approach: every dish is crafted from locally and sustainably sourced ingredients, prepared fresh each day using time-honoured methods. We skip preservatives and canned shortcuts in favour of real food, real flavour, and a commitment to quality that you can taste in every bite.

It turned out to be such a great find ! Location and service is great I tried their Tuesday special Taco (tofu avocado taco) and their cold chocolate..both tasted simply outstanding ! The cold chocolate was probably the best I have ever had ! The next time you make plans with friends, this should be your choice !

Hrushita Dave

The perfect place to do one of those late Sunday breakfasts that extend to a comforting lunch. The menu is exquisitely curated with a warm staff. Started with some hearty breakfast bowls and ended with a clean, long island green tea. The in between can be just about anything you want it to be. The Poke Bowl left me smiling
