BLR Restaurants Pvt Ltd, the team behind popular names like BLR Brewing Co. and Bean Lore, has unveiled their latest venture — Hachi by Tenya, a 40-seater Japanese eatery nestled in Whitefield, Bengaluru. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Tenya from Tokyo, Hachi introduces the timeless art of tempura and other soulful Japanese dishes in an intimate and authentic setting.
A name that means “bowl” in Japanese, Hachi isn’t just another addition to the city’s food scene — it’s a heartfelt culinary exchange built on precision, tradition, and the spirit of omotenashi, Japan’s deep-rooted philosophy of wholehearted hospitality.
With Bangalore’s growing appetite for global cuisines, particularly Japanese, Hachi stands out with its chef-led, experience-first approach. At its core is a 12-seat chef’s counter that surrounds an open kitchen — inviting diners to interact with the chefs, watch every tempura crisp to perfection, and experience Japanese craftsmanship up close.
“We’ve long admired the simplicity and soulfulness of Japanese cuisine,” said Prasanna Kumar, Co-founder of BLR Restaurants. “With Hachi, we wanted to bring that spirit to life in a space that’s intimate, authentic, and deeply interactive.”
Leading the kitchen is Chef Takahashi, a Tenya veteran of over 20 years, alongside Chef Nagai, whose training across Kyoto and Tokyo brings depth and elegance to every plate. Together, they aim to not only serve food, but also share the emotional essence of Japan.
“Our goal with Hachi is to share not just Japanese food, but Japanese heart,” said Chef Takahashi. “We’ve brought traditional techniques, heritage ingredients, and a deep love for the craft — from our kitchen to yours.”
The menu reflects the precision and grace of traditional Japanese cuisine:
Tempura: Light, crisp, and ethereal — flash-fried at high temperatures for perfect drainage.
Ramen: Silken broths elevated with homemade chicken oil and scallion oil for deep umami.
Sushi Rolls: Made with in-house vinegar infused with dashi, rolled with precision and care.
Sake & Japanese Cocktails: Curated to pair seamlessly with the umami-rich food.
Small Plates: Agedashi Tofu, Chicken Karaage, and Dashimakitamago served with artisanal finesse.
Located just behind HDFC Bank in Doddanakundi Industrial Area, Hachi by Tenya sits next to Hamilton — BLR Restaurants’ new cocktail destination — making it a perfect stop for an immersive night of global flavours right in the heart of Bengaluru.
With Hachi, BLR Restaurants continues to push the envelope in India’s evolving culinary scene, fusing global excellence with local curiosity and heartfelt storytelling.

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.
Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”
Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”
Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.
The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.
Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.
Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
