Royal China, a name synonymous with Cantonese fine dining in India for over two decades, has officially opened its doors in Bengaluru, marking its debut in South India. The brand, which first came to India from London in 2003, has expanded over the years across Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Pune, establishing itself as the definitive destination for authentic Cantonese cuisine.

Faiz Rezwan, Executive Director of Prestige Group and Head of Royal China Bengaluru, says, "Royal China arrives in a city that already understands and celebrates fine dining. Bengaluru’s diners are adventurous, well-travelled, and deeply appreciative of tradition. These qualities align perfectly with Royal China’s ethos,” the official statement read.

Fajr Qureshi, Co-Founder of F and F Hospitality, added, “Our goal is to deliver an experience that feels international in standard yet rooted in heritage.”

Founders Neville and Michelle Vazifdar emphasized that the Bengaluru launch is a personal milestone. “Royal China has always stood for excellence and consistency,” said Neville. Michelle noted, “Expanding to Bengaluru allows us to share our legacy of Cantonese cuisine with a discerning new audience. Over two decades after bringing Royal China from London to India, we are humbled to see it grow into a brand loved across cities. Bengaluru, with its cosmopolitan spirit, feels like the perfect new home for Royal China.”

The interiors, designed by Ganesh Madasamy of Aston Design, draw inspiration from the myth of the phoenix, a symbol of rebirth and ascension, woven seamlessly with Bengaluru’s identity as the Garden City. Bamboo-inspired chandeliers, soaring private dining walls, flowing ceiling details, and a palette of gold, amber, and deep blue create a mood of quiet opulence.

Seating 160 guests across intimate booths, elegant private rooms, a main dining hall, and a semi-al fresco section, Royal China Bengaluru caters to both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings, offering versatility for a wide range of dining occasions. With its unwavering commitment to authentic Cantonese cuisine executed with precision and excellence, Royal China Bengaluru promises to redefine the fine dining landscape in the city.
