Little Caesars, known globally as the largest family-owned pizza chain, has made its official India debut with a flagship outlet at Central Plaza Mall, Golf Course Road, Gurugram. Located in one of the city's most vibrant and high-footfall zones, the new store brings a fusion of international pizza favourites with bold Indian flavours, designed especially for local tastes.
Open daily from 11 AM to 3 AM, the outlet offers HOT-N-READY pizzas, made fresh throughout the day, along with an India-exclusive menu developed after months of trials and feedback. Local favourites like Paneer Tikka and Chicken Tikka pizzas, the globally first Boss Sauce, and a specially Seasoned Crust crafted for Indian palates are among the highlights.
At the core of Little Caesars’ India strategy is a mix of taste, value, and convenience.
“We’re thrilled to open our first store in such a prime location,” said Andres de Robina, Vice President, International, Little Caesars Enterprises. “India has a strong pizza-loving culture, especially among the youth. With this flagship, we’re focusing on what matters most—great taste, value, and a quick service experience. We’re confident Little Caesars will quickly become a go-to spot for families and friends across Gurugram.”
The menu features a variety of 8 vegetarian and 6 non-vegetarian pizzas, along with 10 exciting sides like Crazy Puffs, Zingy Potato Wedges, and Tiramisu in a can. Every pizza is made using 100% mozzarella cheese, vine-ripened Californian tomatoes, and fresh in-store dough — ensuring quality in every bite.
Spread over two levels, the restaurant offers a modern and welcoming ambiance with digital menu displays, self-service kiosks, and a comfortable dine-in setup suited for everyone—from students to working professionals to families.
The India entry is led by Harnessing Harvest, a franchise partner backed by a renowned food business group with nearly 90 years of legacy. The parent company, recently valued at over $10 billion, ensures that Little Caesars’ global standards are delivered with the right mix of local expertise and cultural understanding.
“India’s evolving food landscape, digital-first young consumers, and rising demand for quality global experiences make this the perfect time for Little Caesars’ launch,” said Vaishali Singh, Head of Marketing at Harnessing Harvest. “Our aim is to offer delicious, high-quality food that’s priced smartly for Indian consumers, while staying true to our brand’s fun and family-friendly vibe.”
With its 30th country launch, Little Caesars continues its global growth story, and the Gurugram store is just the beginning — more locations are planned across major Indian cities in the months ahead.

Delhi just got a new street food gem! Galli Gully Cafe, a spirited, street-inspired café by Meenakshi Kumar, the force behind Roots Café, has opened its first outlet in Zamrudpur, near GK 1’s N Block Market.
Open from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM daily (with plans to extend hours soon), the cafe is rooted in the idea of turning everyday Indian gallis into flavour-packed, joyful, and inclusive food spaces.
"After creating Roots Café, I wanted to do something bolder—more street, more soul", says Meenakshi Kumar, founder and chef. “Galli Gully is our love letter to Indian street food—and a safe space for women, queer, and trans folks to reclaim the dining experience”.
Galli Gully doesn’t hold back on flavour or flair. The menu brings a playful twist to familiar favourites, Bun Maska Chutney Bhujia, Keema Maggi, Aloo Tikki with Green Apple Chutney, and the crowd-favourite Gully Chicken Roll with Gunpowder Mayo. Want something spicy and addictive? Try the Sambal Chilli Fries. Their drinks are equally creative with Iced Orange Filter Coffee and Chatori Cold Brew standing out.
The cafe’s vibe is cheeky, loud, and full of life, think neon signs, funky tiles, desi-style wall quotes, vintage posters, and colourful stools that invite lingering chats and laughs. It’s a visual and sensory experience, a little bit tapri, a little bit TikTok, and all heart.
To celebrate the opening, the cafe is offering a Galli Welcome Combo, a roll, fries, and drink at a special price for the first two weeks. Looking ahead, they plan to host queer artist nights, slam poetry, and pop-ups with home chefs, keeping the vibe fresh and community-driven.
Meenakshi sums it up best: "Galli Gully is not just about food, it’s about belonging. It’s for everyone who’s ever felt ‘too much’ at the table. Here, you're celebrated. You’re seen. You’re fed".
So if you’re looking for food with soul and a place that feels like home, welcome to Galli Gully Cafe.
As Rakshabandhan draws near on August 9, the search for thoughtful, tasteful gifting takes centre stage. This year, Klava, India’s first boutique baklava brand, invites you to sidestep the traditional with its Premium Assorted Baklava Box, an elegant, vegetarian alternative to conventional Indian sweets.
Handcrafted with finesse and packed with flavour, the 500g assorted box is a luxurious mix of time-honoured Middle Eastern confection and modern Indian aesthetics. It features:
Pistachio Baklava – Nutty, fragrant, and satisfyingly classic
Walnut & Cashew Baklava – Comforting, rich, and nostalgic
Chocolate Baklava – A decadent fusion of crisp pastry and velvety cocoa indulgence
Each piece is delicately layered with ultra-thin golden phyllo pastry, subtly sweetened, and crowned with premium nuts sourced from Gaziantep, Turkey, known as the gold standard of pistachios.
With festive tables often crowded with mithai staples like laddoos and barfis, Klava’s baklava stands apart as a sophisticated gift, a box of celebration, elegance, and culinary storytelling. Available in the beautifully wrapped box is 100% vegetarian and available in-store or via phone reservations.
Location: Unit No 103, Forum Rex Walk, 12th Brigade Road, Bangalore
