Chennai’s new ‘party land’ features a cocktail bar, local ingredients and modernist techniques

In the middle of nowhere, Party Land thrived. Launched in the ‘80s, it slowly evolved through the ‘90s, and was then rebranded as Green Meadows in 2010. Meanwhile, as the city grew, engulfing it, the venue became more than just a Saturday night destination. Over the decades the three-acre property in Palavakkam, lush with trees and vivid with flowers, was enhanced with banqueting halls, rooms, a restaurant and bar as it began hosting everything from weddings to office team-building lunches.
