MUMBAI'S CELEBRATED ASIAN RESTAURANT KOKO EXPANDS TO HYDERABAD

Fine dining Southeast Asian brand KOKO by Pebble Street Hospitality is now in Hyderabad's HITEC City.

- 

The restaurant offers the perfect getaway for a leisurely meal from the humdrum work life. It is a busy Saturday for a place set in the heart of the IT centre in Hyderabad.

Located in HITEC City, KOKO is strategically placed to serve both the bustling work crowd from the surrounding offices and families or couples looking for a Southeast Asian fine dining experience. Originating from Mumbai's celebrated culinary landscape, the restaurant, founded by the Tham Brothers' Pebble Street Hospitality, creates an experience from the word get-go, with a red tunnel leading to the restaurant. Keeping in mind the access to multiple offices, it has a private dining space, well-positioned for business meetings or team lunches.

The beautiful red dome-painted ceiling adds a striking visual element that complements the overall vibe.

The interior design at KOKO, crafted by Essajees Atelierled under the direction of Principal Designer Sarah Sham, has a mix of wicker lamps, origami lights, and murals a hat-tip to the restaurant's Southeast aesthetics. The Asian 10,000-square-foot space offers a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere, and has a variety of seating options-from high chairs to more intimate private nooks and tables. Settling down for lunch, the idea of a vegetarian carpaccio sounded appetising. The tender coconut carpaccio with Ponzu drizzle and crunchy quinoa was a refreshing break from the run-of-the-mill appetizers.
