The Roof at Marriott Executive Apartments Bengaluru UB City Introduces a New Asian Grill Menu Led by Chef Samir Tamang
/
Bengaluru, 2026 – The Roof at Marriott Executive Apartments Bengaluru UB City has unveiled a new menu curated under the culinary direction of Chef Samir Tamang, Junior Sous Chef, bringing together the diverse flavours of Asia with a contemporary approach to poolside dining. Drawing from his 14 years of experience specialising in Thai and Chinese cuisine, Chef Samir has crafted a menu that balances authentic Asian flavours with modern grilling techniques, fresh ingredients and vibrant presentation.
Located at Marriott Executive Apartments Bengaluru UB City, The Roof offers an elevated poolside dining experience with a menu that celebrates fresh, seasonal ingredients and vibrant flavours. Chef Samir’s approach focuses on lighter yet flavour-forward preparations, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables, seafood, grilled meats, salads and versatile rice and noodle dishes.
The new menu brings together influences from across Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines, creating a dining experience that is both familiar and exploratory. Guests can expect a selection that moves seamlessly from refreshing salads such as Som Tam, featuring raw papaya in a tamarind-chilli sauce, to small plates and signature grills that showcase the depth of Asian marinades, spices and sauces.
At the heart of the menu is The Roof’s Asian Grill offering, with dishes such as Robatayaki Tenderloin, combining tamarind, chilli and jaggery, alongside seafood and poultry preparations that highlight Chef Samir’s expertise in balancing bold Asian flavours. The vegetarian grill selection also brings the same attention to flavour through ingredients such as sweet potato, tofu, portobello mushrooms and broccoli, ensuring a well-rounded offering for different dining preferences.
The menu extends into comforting mains and Asian-inspired rice and noodle preparations, including Chicken Katsu Curry, as well as wok-tossed noodles and fried rice options. Desserts bring the meal to a close with contemporary interpretations of Asian flavours, including Black Sesame Tart with Yuzu Curd and a delicate pandan-based Tres Leches.
Speaking about the new menu, Chef Samir Tamang, Junior Sous Chef, Marriott Executive Apartments Bengaluru UB City, said, “The idea behind the new menu was to create an experience that reflects the diversity of Asian cuisine while being suited to the relaxed atmosphere of The Roof. I wanted to work with flavours that are authentic and recognisable, while also bringing in different techniques, textures and ingredients. The grill is an important part of the menu, and we have focused on creating dishes that are fresh, vibrant and full of character.”
With a focus on fresh ingredients, vibrant flavours and refined presentation, the new menu has been developed to complement The Roof’s elegant yet relaxed poolside setting. From lighter salads and vegetable-forward grills to seafood, meats, rice and noodles, the selection is designed to work across casual lunches, relaxed evenings and leisurely gatherings.
Chef Samir brings extensive experience to the new offering. Prior to joining Marriott Executive Apartments Bengaluru UB City, he served as Asian Sous Chef at Lounge Hospitality’s Sriracha and Sanchez, following nearly eight years at The Oberoi Bengaluru, where he progressed through various culinary roles and specialised in Asian cuisine. His career also includes experience at Tao Asian Restaurant and other leading hospitality establishments in Bengaluru.
At The Roof, Chef Samir brings this experience to a menu that balances familiar Asian flavours with contemporary techniques, creating an approachable offering designed for the easy-going atmosphere of poolside dining.
