The newly launched menu celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine through a carefully curated selection of tandoori dishes, classic curries, comforting homestyle preparations, and aromatic biryanis, designed to appeal to both traditional diners and modern global palates.

One of the standout highlights of the menu is the Tandoori Salmon, where salmon fillets are marinated with yogurt, lime, and house-ground spices before being cooked in the tandoor, offering a refined seafood interpretation of traditional Indian grilling techniques. The popular Tandoori Chicken also remains a key feature, prepared with cream, herbs, and spices before being charred to perfection.

The “Classics” section of the menu pays tribute to iconic Indian dishes with preparations such as Tikka Masala, Korma, Saag, Rogan Josh, Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi, and traditional Curry, each crafted using balanced spice blends and authentic cooking methods.

Chef Gurneet Singh has also introduced a range of house specialties that blend comfort with indulgence. Signature dishes include the much-loved Butter Chicken served in a rich tomato-butter gravy, Loaded Tikka Fries topped with paneer or chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tikka masala sauce, along with the flavourful Paneer Butter Masala prepared using house spice blends and tandoor cooking techniques.

Adding a nostalgic touch to the dining experience, the “Mom’s Specials” section features comforting dishes inspired by Indian home kitchens, including Malai Kofta, Chana Masala, Daal Tadka, and Aloo Gobi, celebrating traditional regional cooking styles and familiar flavours.

The biryani selection forms another major highlight of the menu, featuring Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, and the indulgent House Biryani layered with chicken, lamb, shrimp, fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and aromatic spices.

Speaking about the launch, Chef Gurneet Singh shared, “This menu reflects our vision of presenting Indian cuisine in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary. We wanted to preserve the soul of traditional Indian cooking while introducing creative elements and elevated flavours that resonate with today’s diners.”

WorkEZ Expands South India Footprint to 1.7 Million Sq. Ft. Across Chennai, Kochi & Coimbatore

WorkEZ Expands South India Footprint to 1.7 Million Sq. Ft. Across Chennai, Kochi & Coimbatore

 WorkEZ has announced a major expansion of its managed workspace portfolio, taking its total footprint to approximately 1.7 million sq. ft. across 12 active buildings and two upcoming developments across South India. The expansion strengthens the company’s presence in Chennai, Kochi, and Coimbatore, reinforcing its focus on high-growth commercial markets in the region.

As part of this growth phase, WorkEZ has added 65,000 sq. ft. at Phoenix One National Park in Chennai, further strengthening its presence in one of the city’s key commercial corridors. The company has also entered the Kochi market through a strategic partnership with Lulu Developers, adding 70,000 sq. ft. to its expanding portfolio. The move reflects increasing demand for premium managed workspaces from enterprises and Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Kerala.

Speaking about the milestone, Sunil Reddy said, “Our growth to 1.7 million square feet reflects the trust our clients, partners and landlords have placed in WorkEZ over the years. The recent additions in Chennai, Kochi and Coimbatore mark an important step in our continued growth, and we remain focused on building high-quality managed workspaces in markets where demand continues to evolve.”

Coimbatore continues to emerge as a key growth market for the company. WorkEZ recently onboarded several marquee enterprise clients in the city, including global consulting, technology, and engineering firms, reinforcing enterprise confidence in Coimbatore as an emerging business destination.

Building on this momentum, WorkEZ has signed a new 0.4 million sq. ft. development in Coimbatore in partnership with Veeras Infra Private Limited, following the successful leasing of 0.1 million sq. ft. in Phase I. The company believes the city’s growing appeal among GCCs, IT services, and advanced manufacturing sectors will continue to drive demand for flexible office infrastructure.

Commenting on the Coimbatore expansion, Prathap Murali said, “Coimbatore has been a very encouraging market for us. The response to our Phase I development and the onboarding of leading global consulting and technology firms have reinforced our belief in the opportunity the city presents.”

Founded in 2019 in Chennai, WorkEZ has steadily evolved into one of South India’s leading managed office space providers, catering to enterprises, startups, Fortune 500 companies, and institutional landlords. The company’s growth strategy has focused on identifying emerging business corridors early and delivering scalable, experience-led workspaces designed around modern enterprise needs.

As businesses increasingly prioritise flexibility, operational efficiency, and employee-centric work environments, managed office spaces continue to gain traction across India’s commercial real estate landscape. WorkEZ’s latest expansion reflects this broader shift while further strengthening its position in South India’s fast-growing workspace market.
