KOKO arrives in HITEC City, Hyderabad

KOKO, the celebrated luxury Asian restaurant from Pebble Street Hospitality, is now in Hyderabad, marking its highly anticipated debut as the city’s first standalone luxury Asian dining destination. Originating from Mumbai’s celebrated culinary landscape and known for its innovative Cantonese and Japanese cuisine, KOKO promises a distinctive blend of sophistication and modern allure, redefining the city’s culinary landscape with exceptional food and unforgettable design.

“KOKO means grand, and the brand was conceived as a celebration of luxury and grandeur in the Asian dining scene,” stated Ryan and Keenan Tham, Founders of Pebble Street Hospitality. “We set out to create a space that feels larger than life—a destination where every detail invites guests to revel in a sense of exclusivity and sophistication. Every element, from the craftsmanship of the cuisine to the detail in the design, speaks to our commitment to offering an elevated, immersive experience for our guests”

Spanning across 10,000 sq ft, the space is inspired by the splendour of Chinese imperial design and architecture. KOKO’s interiors bring guests a taste of timeless elegance with a contemporary twist. The open floor plan includes a stylish bar, a lounge, a grand dining area, and the exclusive KOKO Suite for private gatherings, each space offering a unique ambience and an intimate sense of discovery. The sophisticated decor is characterised by a rich colour palette of deep emerald green, crimson, and gold, punctuated with black and white accents to evoke a sense of luxury and intrigue. The space has been designed by award-winning architect and interior designer Sarah Sham, Essajees Atelier.

KOKO’s interior layout and carefully chosen materials reflect a balance between traditional Asian opulence and sleek, modern elements. Guests are greeted by a dramatic red archway at the entrance, a powerful visual element that sets the tone for the grandeur within. The space incorporates marble flooring and lacquered wood accents, offset by plush velvet upholstery and brass fixtures. A standout feature is the Red Tunnel—a curved passageway illuminated by soft, red LED lights, designed to create anticipation and a sense of mystery.

The restaurant’s centrepiece is a grand, curved bar crafted from green marble and beige travertine, flanked by intricate gold shelves filled with premium spirits and adorned with a chinoiserie-inspired mural above. Towering, ornate chandeliers hang from the restaurant’s soaring 19-foot ceilings, casting a warm, ambient glow and adding a touch of glamour to the luxurious atmosphere. For those seeking a unique, intimate dining experience, KOKO’s variety of seating includes plush booths, high-top tables, and cosy pod seats.
KOKO’s layered design offers something new with each visit, from the rich textures of velvet upholstery to the graphic flooring pattern—a concentric rectangle of black marble and beige travertine that guides guests through the space. The lounge area is framed by a wooden canopy made of oak slats suspended from the ceiling, filtering in light and creating a cosy, intimate vibe. Origami-inspired light fixtures bring an element of Asian artistry, while the seating arrangements, with their lush green fabrics, provide both privacy and comfort for guests looking to unwind.

The KOKO Suite is a soundproof, 16-seater private dining sanctuary, complete with a dedicated bar for an elevated, intimate gathering experience. Crafted with exclusivity in mind, the suite features plush emerald green armchairs around a striking circular table, all under a hand-painted dome adorned with a captivating Chinese mural. Rich veneer walls and geometric-patterned flooring add a layer of sophistication, creating a hidden retreat within the restaurant that’s perfect for private celebrations and special moments—an experience truly unique to KOKO.

Under the guidance of KOKO’s expert chefs, the menu offers an innovative take on traditional Asian flavours, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and nuanced flavours. Signature dishes include the Lobster & Caviar Dumpling, Hamachi Carpaccio, and the KOKO Signature Non-Veg Roll, each crafted to showcase a balance of taste and texture that elevates Asian dining to an art form. For those seeking richer flavours, highlights like the Miso-Glazed Black Cod, Edamame Black Rice and Crispy Pork Belly offer layers of complexity, presenting a distinct, modern twist on familiar Asian classics.

The culinary journey is further enhanced by KOKO’s curated bar menu, which includes signature cocktails such as the Tom Yum Cup, KOKO Master, and Miso Caliente. Designed to complement the food, these drinks blend Asian-inspired ingredients with contemporary mixology techniques, offering a harmonious addition to the meal and a memorable experience on their own.KOKO arrives in HITEC City, Hyderabad
