Kinya Coffee is bringing a fresh take on Bengaluru's growing breakfast culture with the launch of The Weekend Breakfast, a curated morning experience designed for those who enjoy good food, exceptional coffee and unhurried conversations.

Hosted every Saturday and Sunday at its Indiranagar café, the initiative celebrates the idea of slowing down and making breakfast an occasion rather than a routine. Inspired by the café cultures of cities such as Paris, London and Melbourne, the experience aims to create a welcoming space where guests can gather, connect and enjoy their weekends at a relaxed pace.

Located in one of Bengaluru's most vibrant neighbourhoods, Kinya Coffee is tapping into the city's evolving appreciation for breakfast-focused dining experiences. As more people embrace leisurely mornings, breakfast is increasingly becoming a social and cultural experience rather than simply the first meal of the day.

The menu brings together a selection of globally loved breakfast dishes, including Eggs Benedict, Turkish Çılbır, Shakshuka, Japanese Tamago Sandwiches, breakfast boards, pancakes and French toast. Each dish has been thoughtfully prepared to offer familiar flavours with attention to detail and quality.

Complementing the food menu is Kinya's specialty coffee and matcha programme. Guests can choose from espresso-based beverages, pour-over coffees, cold brews and ceremonial-style matcha, all crafted to enhance the overall breakfast experience. The focus is on creating beverages that encourage guests to linger a little longer and enjoy the moment.

Beyond the menu, The Weekend Breakfast is designed as a gathering space for Bengaluru's diverse community. Whether it's entrepreneurs catching up before the week ahead, families enjoying quality time together, friends reconnecting over coffee or travellers exploring the city's café culture, the experience offers a setting that brings people together.

In a fast-paced world, Kinya Coffee's latest offering embraces the simple joy of slowing down. With comforting food, carefully crafted beverages and a warm atmosphere, The Weekend Breakfast aims to become a go-to destination for Bengaluru's weekend mornings.

Each FIFA World Cup Meal includes a McDonald’s favourite, a Coca-Cola beverage, and a limited-edition football collectible designed as a keepsake for fans. The offering is positioned as a way to enhance the fan experience and create lasting memorabilia tied to the global sporting event.

The limited-time meal range includes McVeggie Dragon FIFA World Cup Meals and McChicken Dragon FIFA World Cup Meals, paired with Coca-Cola beverages and collectible football merchandise. Pricing for the range starts from INR 209 and goes up to INR 289 depending on the variant and collectible included.

Speaking on the launch, Rajeev Ranjan, Managing Director, McDonald’s India – North & East, said the initiative is designed to bring fans closer to the action and celebrate the shared spirit of football and togetherness that defines both the sport and the brand experience.

Abhishek Gupta, Vice President, Customer Development, Coca-Cola India and South West Asia, added that football continues to serve as a powerful connector of people and experiences, and the collaboration aims to deepen fan engagement through immersive, everyday moments.

The FIFA World Cup Meal range is now available for a limited time across McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India, offering fans both a themed dining experience and exclusive collectibles while supplies last.

About McDonald’s India – North & East

McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India are operated by Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. The brand serves millions of customers annually across more than 300 restaurants and McCafé outlets, offering locally sourced ingredients and a variety of menu options tailored to Indian tastes. The company operates across multiple formats, including standalone restaurants, drive-thrus, and 24/7 outlets, with a strong focus on convenience, consistency, and customer experience.

Hyderabad’s nightlife scene has introduced one of its most exclusive new concepts with “See,” a 22-seater referral-only bar tucked inside the larger TheySee space in Jubilee Hills.

Positioned as a hidden world within a world, See operates entirely on word-of-mouth access, where entry is granted only through personal referrals. There are no public listings, reservation platforms, or direct contact channels. Instead, the experience is built on trust, exclusivity, and a tightly curated community of guests.

Conceived by founders Niharika Gollapalli, Chef Suryansh Singh, and Darshan Ramchandani, the team behind TheySee, the bar has been designed as a deliberately intimate space that prioritises connection and familiarity. The cocktail programme is curated by Pradyumna Shanker, bringing together inventive mixology and Indian-inspired flavour profiles.

A striking red door marks the entrance to the venue, leading guests into a compact 22-seater room where the atmosphere shifts into a high-energy yet personal setting. With curated Afro-Indian music, personalised LED name badges, and recurring guest recognition, the experience is designed to feel both exclusive and familiar, especially for returning visitors.

The interiors of See are shaped by a collaboration with Lyzure, an art incubation space founded by Niharika Gollapalli. The space features immersive installations and handcrafted design elements by multiple artists, including mechanical flipbooks by Rayalu Harshith, ceramic pieces by Sanjana Reddy, and a retro television installation by student designer Afshaan from Mumbai. A life-size red Nazar Battu sculpture at the entrance, created by artist Vinay, serves as both a visual anchor and symbolic statement.

Rather than functioning as a traditional bar, See positions itself as an experiential space where design, art, and hospitality merge into a single narrative.

The cocktail programme continues this philosophy with inventive, technique-driven drinks rooted in Indian flavour sensibilities. Highlights include Laura’s Lassan, a tequila and mezcal-based cocktail with cacao bitters and black garlic pickle; The Fake Birthday, a celebratory drink experience complete with music, cake, and nostalgic elements; See-Kante, a guava and yuzu Picante-style cocktail; Whisky Saar; Michelle’s Adda; and Tagu Both Tiramisu, a dessert-style drink layered with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream elements.

The culinary programme, led by Chef Suryansh Singh, complements the bar experience with elevated bar bites and playful reinterpretations of familiar dishes. The menu includes items such as Cheej Keema Pao, Maggie Nudele, Bluu Lays served inside a chips packet, Bheja Fry with gongura, and Seekh Paratha. The experience continues with dishes like NRI Rice Bowl, Jhalapeno Bhajji, and Chocolate Crime Scene, alongside a rotating house-made ice cream offering titled Aaaais Cream.

Access to See is strictly controlled through a closed referral system. Guests can only enter if invited by an existing member who holds a login code, which must be verified through a dedicated portal. A waitlist is also available for those seeking entry through curated selection. The brand maintains a private digital presence, with no public booking channels or open Instagram feed, reinforcing its exclusivity-led positioning.

At See, access is not marketed, it is earned. The result is a space where secrecy, design, and community come together to redefine what a bar experience can be in modern Hyderabad.
