Experience the true essence of Japanese cuisine as CoCo ICHIBANYA marks its third anniversary at the vibrant Cyberhub outlet. With over 1400 outlets spanning 12 countries, CoCo ICHIBANYA is renowned for its delectable Japanese curry offerings. This anniversary celebration promises an unforgettable Japanese dining experience, complete with enticing offers and interactive activities for all to enjoy.

Devesh Srivastava, CEO of CoCo ICHIBANYA, India, expresses his excitement, “We are ecstatic to celebrate the anniversary of CoCo Ichibanya’s first outlet at Cyber Hub and unveil something new around Gurgaon as well. As the name suggests, Ichibanya means number one which reflects well in our menu, services and experience. With the celebration, we are bringing something new to the table, that is, Japanese comfort food, which is what most shoppers crave for especially after a shopping spree. As we aim to bring a bit of Japanese culture with our world famous curries, every aspect of the outlet has been carefully designed to bring the experience of Japan, keeping in mind the Indian tastes and preferences.” 

Situated on the ground floor of Cyberhub, the restaurant seamlessly blends European interior design with Japanese traditions, embodying the essence of 'Yoshoku.' This fusion of modernity and tradition is evident in the ambiance and wax replicas of dishes that aid guests in making informed choices. With its signature white tiles, reminiscent of Yoshoku restaurants, this venue offers a warm and inviting space for casual get-togethers.

Beyond its culinary offerings, CoCo ICHIBANYA introduces Indian elements with dishes like Chicken Curry Keema and Paratha Curry Set. Amidst its inviting atmosphere, the restaurant provides an ideal setting for casual gatherings with friends and family. Devesh adds, The idea that one can have a non-sushi, non-sashimi and all curry Japanese is quite exciting for me and the entire CoCoICHI team. It is the perfect option for curry and spice lovers who are keen to try something different from the typical Indian and Mediterranean curries. We are also excited to see how customers will react to the customizable options we have for our curries as such a system does not yet exist at Indian restaurants.”

As the third anniversary celebration unfolds, CoCo ICHIBANYA presents an unparalleled dining experience that seamlessly blends the essence of Japan with Indian preferences. This celebration epitomizes their unwavering dedication to crafting extraordinary dining moments, in line with their 'number one' philosophy. If you're ready for a palate-pleasing journey, the captivating Cyberhub outlet of CoCo ICHIBANYA is waiting to welcome you.

Anardana has opened its 14th and largest outlet yet in Noida's Sector 50, introducing an upgraded menu and a contemporary Indian dining environment designed to reflect the brand's next phase of growth.

The new flagship builds on Anardana's presence in Noida, following the response to its Sector 129 outlet. The brand has established a growing following across North India with its modern Indian cuisine, bold flavours and vibrant dining environments.

With the Sector 50 opening, Anardana brings together familiar favourites and new culinary creations in a significantly larger space designed to function as a destination for dining and celebratio ns.

Commenting on the launch, Shruti Malik, Founder, Anardana, said, "The launch of our Noida Sector 50 restaurant is a defining milestone for Anardana as we open our 14th outlet and our largest flagship destination yet. Noida has always been an important market for us, and the love we've received at our Sector 129 outlet gave us the confidence to deepen our presence in the city."

She added that the new flagship was designed to offer more than a restaurant, combining elevated design, warm service and a culinary experience that remains rooted in Indian traditions while embracing contemporary influences.

Contemporary Indian Design

The Sector 50 outlet adopts a contemporary Indian design language built around fluid geometry, layered materials and sculptural elements.

A double-height central volume forms the heart of the restaurant, with sculptural domes, suspended installations and cascading greenery creating a strong vertical visual identity. Integrated lighting adds depth to the space, while the interplay of solid and open areas creates a balance between intimate dining zones and larger social spaces.

The material palette incorporates terracotta flooring, timber battens, natural stone, textured finishes and handcrafted lattice screens, bringing warmth and tactile character to the interiors.

A dramatic double-height bar acts as the central visual anchor, while curvilinear seating, raised platforms and carefully framed sightlines create distinct dining zones within the larger space.

The design aims to celebrate Indian craftsmanship through a contemporary interpretation rather than relying heavily on traditional ornamentation.

Upgraded Culinary Offering

The new outlet also introduces an upgraded menu featuring modern interpretations of Indian flavours alongside familiar Anardana favourites.

Vegetarian highlights include In Pulled Jackfruit Cannelloni, featuring ghee-roasted pulled jackfruit rolled into cannelloni and baked in saffron cream sauce.

Among the non-vegetarian offerings are Butter Chicken Gujiya, featuring crispy gujiyas filled with smoky tandoori chicken and served with Parmesan and makhani sauce, and Malai Chicken Roulade, paired with mashed potatoes and smoked red bell pepper sauce.

Other new dishes include Achari Chicken Breast, mushroom-stuffed chicken finished with a pickle brush and mushroom pepper sauce; Lamb Ragout Sambusa; and Mutton Goli Kebab, served with gilafi kulcha and walnut, radish and eggplant chutneys.

For dessert, the Rasgulla Tiramisu combines rasgulla soaked in coffee and rum with mascarpone and cacao, offering an Indo-Italian interpretation of the classic dessert.

The brand said the expanded menu is intended to build on Anardana's approach to contemporary Indian cuisine while introducing guests to new combinations and presentations.

The Sector 50 outlet represents an important milestone for Anardana as the brand continues to expand its presence across North India. Founded in 2018, Anardana has grown its restaurant portfolio with a focus on modern Indian cuisine, hospitality and experiential dining.

With its largest outlet yet, the brand aims to strengthen its position in Noida's competitive dining landscape while creating a larger destination for everyday meals, celebrations and social occasions.

The menu brings together Pan Asian, Italian, Modern Indian, European and Continental influences, with an emphasis on bold flavours, generous portions and dishes designed for sharing.
