Operating with an all-day menu, the restaurant will also provide a selection of modern beverages, encompassing coffee, mocktails, and boba.
“It’s the first full format we’ve done in India. We did an all-veg one in Ahmedabad recently with no alcohol, but this is a veg, non-veg, bar, all-day dining,” said Jasper Reid, Managing Director, Dolomite Restaurants Pvt. Ltd., the India Master Franchise partner for Jamie’s Italian, Jamie’s Kitchen, Jamie’s Kitchen Cafe, Jamie’s Pizzeria and Jamie’s Diner.
