The expansion into India is a significant move for Wagamama, which is known for its wide array of dishes, including its grilled chicken ramen, firecracker chicken and chicken katsu curry.

The brand caters to diverse dietary needs, with half of its menu consisting of plant-based options.

Established in 1992 by Alan Yau in London’s Bloomsbury district, Wagamama offers fresh and nourishing flavours to customers seated on its wooden benches.

The brand, initially named China Diner, has since expanded its global footprint with locations across Europe and the Middle East. There are locations in Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Qatar, Spain and Sweden.

In February 2024, Wagamama unveiled its plan to further expand its UK footprint with ten new restaurants.
