A Bold Thai Encounter: Fireback × Bengaluru Baking Company at JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru

Bengaluru, 10th July 2025: JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru is delighted to announce a two-night exclusive pop-up in collaboration with Fireback by EHV, introducing the nuanced and soulful flavours of Thailand to the city. On 12th and 13th July 2025, guests will be invited to experience a rare dinner-only engagement, curated under the guidance of Michelin-starred Chef David Thompson, the creative force behind Fireback, Goa.

Internationally acclaimed for his scholarly approach and deep-rooted understanding of Thai cuisine, Chef David Thompson has been at the forefront of Southeast Asian gastronomy for decades. At Fireback, his most recent endeavour under the EHV banner, Thompson reinvents traditional Thai dishes with an uncompromising commitment to authenticity, layered precision, and culinary heritage. Each creation pays homage to the country’s vibrant food traditions, while embracing a refined modern sensibility.

Having made waves in Goa with its fire-grilled plates, robust curries, and punchy stir-fries, Fireback now brings its culinary philosophy to Bengaluru in a special format. The tasting menu showcases the restaurant’s signature approach: a harmony of spice, acidity, texture, and umami, woven into a progressive, narrative-led dining experience.

Guests can choose between two curated set menus, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, featuring dishes such as Miang Kham with pomelo and toasted coconut, Tom Kha soup with galangal and coconut, Pineapple Som Tam, Corn Fritters with Ajad, and Chicken Gorlae with crispy shallots. Mains include the Khmoy Green Curry with jasmine rice, available with vegetables or chicken. Dessert is a signature Cashewnut Pudding with caramelised taro and sapodilla.

Speaking on the collaboration, Gaurav Sinha, Hotel Manager, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru, shares: “Bengaluru has always welcomed bold, global culinary experiences and Chef David Thompson brings precisely that, grounded in scholarship, passion, and authenticity. Fireback isn’t just a restaurant, it is a conversation between tradition and innovation. Through this collaboration, we aim to offer our guests a rare opportunity to explore the complexity of Thai cuisine through one of its most revered storytellers.”

Crafted as an intimate, reservation-only affair, the Fireback × JW Marriott Bengaluru pop-up promises a sensorial journey across two evenings. With limited seating and a format designed for mindful dining, this is an experience created for true lovers of food and culture.

Each dinner will unfold as a choreographed sequence of flavours, where every course builds on the last, inviting guests into the rhythm and soul of Thai culinary tradition. With limited seating and a format designed for quiet immersion and sensory focus, this is an experience created for true culinary connoisseurs.
