Ping Pong, the teahouse and dim sum emporium, is set to satisfy India’s foodies when it opens this December in Mumbai.

The London-based restaurant chain has signed a deal with Mirah Hospitality to open restaurants in India. Ping Pong, established in 2005, currently operates 13 restaurants across in London, Sao Paulo, Dubai and Washington DC.

For over seven years Ping-Pong has built-up a reputation serving the popular little parcels of food. Its menu primarily comprises cocktails, dim sums and teas.

“Ping Pong is a contemporary and dynamic brand that is well known among Indians who frequently travel to London and Dubai. Considering dim sum is a very popular and traditional Asian dish, it surprised us that it was not readily available in India,” said Gaurav Goenka, MD, Mirah Hospitality.

“Doing what it does best, Mirah spotted the market potential and decided to bring the irresistible charm of Ping Pong’s dim sum to India’s financial centre.”

Following the style of the company’s Great Marlborough Street flagship restaurant, diners can expect a clean, open-plan look with spacious dining areas. Large round wooden tables and benches, crafted from old oak taken from sustainable forests in Switzerland, embody Ping Pong’s values of community, authenticity and respect for the environment.

“After our initial expansion into the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, the Asian market was obviously the next step in Ping Pong’s growth,” Ping Pong MD Daniel During said.
