Hakkasan Coming To Mumbai
Hakkasan, London.
We hear that Hakkasan, the Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant/lounge from London will be opening in the city in December somewhere in Bandra West. Hakkasan has teamed up with local partners Ka Restaurants, owned by businessman Kishor Bajaj (he owns the franchise for Italian clothing brand Brioni in India). The layout of Hakkasan will be similar to that of the award-winning London restaurant, long considered one of the world’s 50 best restaurants, where “reservations are traded on the futures market”. It will be designed by Paris-based Gilles et Boissier whose dark wood, sleek Oriental aesthetic can also be seen at Hakkasan in Miami, and Buddakan in New York. Ka also plan to bring in trendy dimsum eatery Yauatcha, another London restaurant part of the Tasameem stable, to India. Abu Dhabi-based Tasameem bought Hakkasan and Yauatcha in 2008 from founder Alan Yau, who also founded Japanese eatery Wagamama.
On another note, Vie Lounge in Juhu might want to re-think their version called ”Hakka Sun” which has been open for the last five months and bills itself as the “oriental kitchen @ vie”.

hi thats my dream belive guys its a dam good restaurents in the world.i miss out that it is not in delhi but sure i will come to join mumbai as i am the bartender workin with westin hotels.
Hakkasan! Yes yes yes dream come true. Don’t be so bitter Hari. They’re an extremely well reputed brand and once you try the food you will also be in love. I can’t wait for them to open… I’m being counting the days =)
Hakka’s Sin is being set up in a peaceful residential locality in Bandra. It is being set up in a place which had a restaurant, also supposedly reputed, but had to close down. because the residents of the locality did not allow it to run successfully. An eating house of this type has been an utter nuiscance in the locality. Such shops must be set up in non residential places. All civic minded Mumbaikars must ensure that even Hakkasn is either not opened or closed asap.. Jai Mumbai. Jai Maharashtra
