Wagamama debuts in India

Pan-Asian restaurant brand Wagamama has officially debuted in India, opening its first location in Mumbai. 

Housed within the Cambata Building, home to the iconic Eros cinema in Churchgate, the new opening marks a bold step for the brand as it brings its signature menu to a new market.

Born in London in 1992, Wagamama is well-known within the casual dining segment for its fresh, made-to-order dishes, inspired by the ramen bars of Japan and the bold flavours of Asia. The concept has since become a mainstay across Europe, the Middle East and beyond, with a presence in over 18 countries worldwide. 

The Mumbai menu

The new Mumbai site blends Wagamama’s global identity with the character of its surroundings. Nestled between Marine Drive, Nariman Point and Fort, the location bridges the city’s colonial heritage and contemporary bustle.

The launch menu showcases the brand’s greatest hits, including favourites like chicken katsu curry, yasai yaki soba, firecracker chicken and ramen bowls such as tantanmen and kare burosu.

Small plates feature a range of bao buns, gyoza and bang bang cauliflower, while dessert highlights include the golden banana katsu. Over half the menu is vegetarian or vegan, and Jain-friendly options are clearly labelled, catering thoughtfully to local dietary preferences.

To complement the menu, diners can choose from fresh-pressed juices, Asian-inspired cocktails, mocktails and a selection of wines and spirits.

The Indian opening is led by K Hospitality Corp, one of the country’s leading F&B operators. With a track record of launching and scaling international dining concepts across India, K Hospitality brings both operational strength and cultural nuance to the partnership.

Francisco Neves, senior VP of franchise and partnerships at Wagamama, comments: "We’re thrilled to be partnering with K Hospitality to bring Wagamama to India. Mumbai is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a world-class food culture; an ideal first step for our journey in the region."
