Cricket icon Yuvraj Singh has stepped off the pitch and into the world of hospitality with the launch of his very first restaurant, KOCA — short for Kitchen of Celebratory Arts. The space, which officially opened its doors on April 12, sits on Gurugram’s upscale Golf Course Road and was recently featured in a video by Curly Tales on April 20.
This isn’t just another celebrity vanity project — Yuvraj has poured his personal style into every corner of KOCA, right down to the thoughtfully crafted menu that mirrors his own culinary preferences.

The moment you walk in, the place wraps you in warmth. Think soft golden hues from tastefully chosen pendant lights and chandeliers — not too dim, not too harsh, just right for a long lunch or a cosy dinner. The lighting changes with the day, giving the space an adaptable, relaxed feel.
One of KOCA’s most striking features is the expansive skylight ceiling. During the day, the restaurant is drenched in sunlight, creating a bright, airy energy. Come evening, it transforms — offering a clear view of the stars and sky, adding a romantic touch to dinner hours. It’s the kind of architectural detail that makes the space feel both luxurious and grounded.
The indoor bar makes a bold statement of its own. Sleek and contemporary, it’s lined with backlit shelves holding top-shelf bottles. LED lights give the area a subtle, golden shine — perfect for catching up over cocktails or sipping something strong on a night out.

KOCA also brings nature indoors with a generous dose of greenery. Hanging planters, leafy corners, and lush potted plants soften the edges and bring a calming freshness that balances out the polished interiors. The result? A space that feels alive — chic, yet soothing.
