Opening its first location in the heart of South Mumbai, wagamama is housed within the beautifully restored Cambata Building.
The new opening marks a bold step for the brand as it brings its signature energy, nourishing cuisine and communal spirit to a dynamic new market.
Born in London in 1992, wagamama redefined casual dining with its fresh, made-to-order dishes, served with speed and soul, inspired by the ramen bars of Japan and the bold flavours of Asia.
Rooted in kaizen – the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement – the brand has become a global mainstay across Europe, the Middle East and beyond and is now present in over 18 countries worldwide.
“We don’t just serve food, we serve energy,” said Francisco Neves, Senior VP of Franchise and Partnerships, “wagamama is a kitchen for the soul. Playful, purposeful and powered by good food that uplifts, India has a rich appreciation for flavour, freshness and culture and Mumbai was the ideal city to begin this journey.”
The new Mumbai site blends wagamama’s global identity with the character of its surroundings. Nestled between Marine Drive, Nariman Point and Fort, the location bridges the city’s colonial heritage and contemporary bustle.
