The globally loved UK-born pan-Asian restaurant, wagamama, is finally making its way to India, kicking off its journey in the bustling heart of South Mumbai. Its first Indian outlet will open doors at the historic Cambata Building – a landmark address that’s getting a bold new culinary tenant.
Founded in London in 1992, wagamama was inspired by the energy and simplicity of Japanese ramen bars, blended with the bold flavors of Asian cuisine. Over the decades, it’s become a household name across Europe and the Middle East, known not just for its food but for its philosophy of serving warmth with every bowl.
Bringing wagamama to Indian shores is K Hospitality Corp, one of the country’s biggest players in the food and beverage space. This marks yet another ambitious chapter for the company.
“We’re not your usual restaurant – we’re a vibe,” said Francisco Neves, Senior VP of Franchise and Partnerships. “wagamama is about soulful food, shared joy, and a playful spirit. Mumbai felt like the perfect first stop – it’s alive with flavour, personality, and people who appreciate food with heart.”
The Mumbai menu is a full-on flavour fest – think signature katsu curry, yaki soba, comforting donburi bowls, crispy bang bang cauliflower and prawns, rich ramens like tantanmen and kare burosu, alongside fluffy baos and handmade gyozas. Pair it all with refreshing juices, Asian-inspired cocktails, or fruity mocktails, and round it off with desserts and curated wines and spirits.
Next up? Delhi NCR. With plans to expand further across India, wagamama promises each new outlet will stay rooted in its global essence while celebrating local energy.
