The coffee and restaurant chain said 340 restaurant owners will invest in the construction and renovation of 480 restaurants during 2026.

The concept combines restaurant dining, cocktails, specialty coffee, and craft beer within a neighbourhood-focused setting.

The launch follows AAHL’s recent partnership with IHG Hotels and Resorts for airport-linked hotel developments across key Indian cities.

The brand’s India operations will be led by Gourmet Investments Hospitality Group (GIHG), which will drive its expansion and growth strategy in the country.

The Faridabad-based startup’s latest move adds to its international growth strategy as it continues to expand beyond traditional overseas destinations often preferred by Indian businesses, including the UAE and Singapore.

Located at the Domestic Departure terminal, the new outlet strengthens the jewellery brand’s presence in India’s travel retail segment.

The neighbourhood diner-style restaurant offers a full-service dining experience with an all-day menu that combines breakfast classics with globally influenced dishes.

The new store in Bareilly offers footwear and accessories for men and women across casual, formal, sports, party wear, and fashion categories.

According to the company, Dehradun is an important market as Chinese Wok strengthens its presence beyond Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh into Uttarakhand.

Over the years, the brand has expanded across multiple cities with a menu centred on Punjabi street food and dishes associated with the Punjab Grill brand portfolio.
