The trademark marks an important achievement for the Indian coffee industry, placing Roastery Coffee House and India firmly on the global coffee map.
Cranberry Coffee has quickly gained popularity, becoming a staple in cafes across India.

"It is very heartwarming to see how positively everyone has responded to this beverage," said Nishant Sinha, Founder of Roastery Coffee House.

Chinese Wok, one of India’s leading Desi Chinese quick service restaurant (QSR) brands, has unveiled a revamped dine-in menu that simplifies choices, introduces sharper pricing, and delivers a bolder dining experience. The transformation is part of the brand’s continued evolution, informed by extensive consumer research and AI-led behavioural analytics.
The new two-page menu, designed to reduce complexity and decision fatigue, replaces the earlier expansive list of over 100 items and 1,000 possible combinations. Guests can now enjoy 12 customisable value combos, offering up to 40% savings, alongside popular picks like the Super Bowl. The result: a 35% reduction in ordering time, improved guest accessibility, and faster in-store operations.
“We noticed a pattern — customers were increasingly defaulting to à la carte orders, which often led to unplanned spends and slower decision-making,” said Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder and Director, Lenexis Foodworks. “Our trials during Sunday and Wednesday offers proved that the right pricing and packaging could shift this behaviour significantly. The new menu is a direct response to those insights — designed to simplify choices, accelerate order time, and drive higher combo adoption. It’s about making indulgence easier while strengthening dine-in efficiency and profitability.”
As part of this strategic revamp, hero products like Kurkure Momos and Desi Chowmein now take centre stage, reflecting the brand’s commitment to innovation and scaling high-demand favourites.
Complementing the menu update are refreshed interiors across Chinese Wok outlets, featuring bold colour palettes, dynamic graphics, modernised furniture, upgraded lighting, curated music, and AR-powered digital experiences — all curated to foster a vibrant, social, and immersive dining atmosphere.
The menu and store redesigns arrive at a pivotal point in Chinese Wok’s 10-year journey. With over 235 stores operating under a COCO (Company-Owned, Company-Operated) model, the brand ensures consistency in quality and service. As it aims for a ₹1000 crore target, this consumer-focused transformation is set to drive the next phase of growth.
As a proud homegrown QSR, Chinese Wok continues to set new standards in Indian-style Chinese cuisine—blending innovation, scalability, and consumer delight to solidify its place as a frontrunner in India's evolving food retail landscape.

Peche Mignon, the quaint French patisserie at Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach, has just added a delicious new twist to its offerings—a Neapolitan pizza menu that brings the heart of Naples to the coast of Juhu.
Famed for its flaky croissants, indulgent desserts, and artisanal breads, Peche Mignon now ventures into Italian territory with handcrafted, wood-fired pizzas. Think classic crusts kissed by flame, topped with gourmet ingredients, and served in the café’s signature Parisian-style setting.
The new menu features a well-curated variety for pizza lovers. Highlights include the rich and creamy Quattro Formaggi, loaded with pecorino romano, parmesan, mozzarella, and goat cheese; the vibrant Pollo Al Pesto, pairing basil pesto with grilled chicken and mozzarella on a bed of tomato sauce; and the bold BBQ Chipotle Chicken, which layers spicy BBQ sauce, pickled jalapeños, and buffalo mozzarella for an extra kick.
Balancing cheese, spice, and the rustic charm of an authentic wood-fired crust, each pizza offers a satisfying slice of comfort. Whether you’re in for a casual lunch, an evening treat, or just a change from the sweet temptations, this new menu brings variety and depth to the café's otherwise French-leaning repertoire.
Set against a backdrop of cozy pastels, elegant counters, and relaxed charm, Peche Mignon continues to be Juhu’s go-to café for all-day indulgence—now with a side of Naples.
