Ranchi’s food scene just got a global upgrade as McDonald’s India (North & East) unveiled two new restaurants in the city — at Mall of Ranchi and Panache 99, Circular Road. This strategic expansion strengthens the brand’s presence in Jharkhand, following successful outlets in Jamshedpur and Dhanbad.
Ranchi, known for its vibrant youth culture, love for sports, and tight-knit community, now has more reasons to celebrate — with not just one, but two centrally located McDonald’s outlets offering a modern, accessible dining experience.
Each restaurant combines a contemporary aesthetic, globally inspired décor, and a warm ambience. Together, the new locations span 3,034 sq. ft. and offer a combined seating capacity of 197, with both dine-in and takeaway options available.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Rajeev Ranjan, Managing Director of McDonald’s India – North and East, shared:
“It fills us with immense joy to open our doors in Ranchi, a city that beautifully blends rich Jharkhand traditions, youthful energy, and the warmth of 'sab saath mein' spirit. We look forward to becoming a part of Ranchi's everyday moments — whether it's students catching up after college, families celebrating festivals, or friends unwinding after exploring Tagore Hill or Rock Garden.”
Customers at both outlets can expect:
Self-ordering digital kiosks
Table service
Guest experience leaders for personalized assistance
The menu features a delicious mix of global favourites and Indian classics, including:
Maharaja Mac, McVeggie, McAloo Tikki
McSpicy Burgers, McChicken, McCrispy Chicken, and Chicken McGrill
McDonald’s signature French fries, wraps, beverages, and desserts
Whether you're grabbing a quick bite between classes, enjoying a family outing, or celebrating a shopping spree, these outlets aim to be the go-to hangout spot for Ranchiites.
In line with McDonald’s commitment to community development, the Ranchi outlets will also generate employment opportunities for youth, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, under the McDonald’s for Youth initiative. Aspiring candidates can apply by emailing hiring.ngo@del.in.mcd.com.
Operated by Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd., McDonald’s has a footprint of close to 245 restaurants and 100 McCafés across the North and East of India. The brand focuses on affordability, high-quality local sourcing, and customer-centric service, making it a preferred food destination for millions.

Harajuku Tokyo Cafe has raised $2 million (₹19 crores) in its first institutional funding round, setting the stage for a bigger national expansion. The round was led by Indian Angel Network (IAN), with participation from Samved VC, LetsVenture, and venture debt fund Capitar Ventures.
The brand is attracting strong investor interest, with additional funding expected to follow. This milestone comes soon after its grand Mumbai entry at Jio World Drive, BKC, where both Harajuku Tokyo Cafe and Harajuku Bakehouse drew an overwhelming response from customers.
Founded in 2021 by Gaurav Kanwar, Harajuku Tokyo Cafe has carved a niche by bringing authentic Japanese cuisine to India in a casual dining and quick-service format. In just a few years, the brand has scaled to 7 outlets across Delhi NCR and Mumbai, crossing ₹30 crores in annual recurring revenue.
Looking ahead, the company aims to grow aggressively with a target of 90 outlets across 20 cities by 2027 and revenue projections of over ₹200 crores. To kickstart this expansion, Letters of Intent have already been signed for 15 upcoming locations in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Ludhiana, and Chandigarh.
“This funding milestone strengthens our vision of democratising Japanese cuisine in India. What began as a passion project to make Japanese food accessible has evolved into a scalable business model that resonates with India's evolving palate. With our Mumbai launch exceeding all expectations and this funding secured, we're positioned to become India's leading Japanese dining destination”, said Gaurav Kanwar, founder and CEO of Harajuku Tokyo Cafe
