Times of India | 14 August 2025
Kolkata: In a move to expand its international footprint, Speciality Restaurants is set to open Mainland China outlets in Yas Mall in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Mall, and the Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai. Six months ago, the company opened its head office for international operations in Dubai. The company plans to invest Rs 100 crore for business expansion in the next 2 years, said chairman and MD Anjan Chatterjee.
"We are looking for business avenues in markets with an Indian diaspora. Nostalgia is associated with Mainland China — our mother brand — which we have been running for over 30 years. Wherever there is an Indian diaspora, the demand for Mainland China and Asia Kitchen has been huge. The young generation has grown with the taste of both brands," said Chatterjee, adding that a Mainland China outlet is set to be operational in London's Ealing by 2026.
"There might be various quick service restaurants and fine dining brands that have gone overseas, but Speciality Restaurants Ltd has made its presence felt, especially with its confidence in the Gulf, leading its way to the UK (London), Australia (Melbourne and Sydney), and to places like Vancouver and Ghana," Chatterjee said. He also spoke of the company's plans in spots like Dubai. Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and even in Tanzania.
