India has luxury hotels. India has fine dining. India has bars. But very few hospitality brands sit at the intersection of contemporary Indian cuisine, luxury cocktail culture, Indian cultural storytelling and aspirational modern consumers. A generation of founders, creators, collectors and global Indians is looking for experiences that feel rooted in India yet unmistakably contemporary. IKKIS is built for them.
Old Royal India · New City Royalty
The spirit of India's royal courts,
reimagined for the people shaping modern India.
The Audience Has Evolved
Founders. Entrepreneurs. Creators. Artists. Cultural leaders. Today's royalty demands experiences that honour achievement — not just appetite.
The Gap Is Real
No hospitality brand in India has claimed the space between contemporary Indian cuisine, luxury cocktail culture and cultural storytelling at this level.
The Timing Is Right
Indian luxury is having its cultural moment globally. From fashion to art to cinema — the world is watching India reimagine its own legacy on its own terms.
The Concept Travels
IKKIS celebrates modern Indian culture — not one region's cuisine. That is why it works in Mumbai, Dubai, London and New York equally.
Inspired by the highest honour bestowed upon princely rulers — the 21-Gun Salute — IKKIS transforms that ceremonial idea into a modern hospitality experience.
A contemporary Indian restaurant and cocktail bar inspired by the grandeur, ceremony and refinement of India's royal courts.
Not a palace. Not a museum. A living cultural destination where the number 21 becomes the brand's DNA — creating memory, ritual and differentiation across every touchpoint.
21 Dishes
10 Small · 7 Large · 4 DessertsA curated, considered menu. Not one that tries to do everything — one that does 21 things perfectly.
21 Cocktails
Signature CollectionInspired by royal houses, salute states, trade routes, jewels and court traditions. Each cocktail a story.
21 Experiences
Chef's Table · Menu Evolutions · Founders CircleThe 21-Member Founders Circle. 21-Course events. 21-Year spirit collection. 21-Day menu evolutions.
Royal kitchens were historically India's innovation laboratories. The finest cooks, ingredients, techniques and influences converging in one place. IKKIS asks: what would royal cuisine look like if it evolved until today?
The cocktail program is a destination in itself — twenty-one cocktails inspired by the royal houses, salute states, trade routes, jewels and court traditions of India's princely era.

The Grand AssemblySapphire State
Jewel of the CollectionWhere India's royal past meets the present. Burnished brass, dark woods, velvet, stone and contemporary Indian art — a space that feels both rooted and alive. The soundtrack: jazz meets Hindustani classical.
Art Deco Bombay
The grid, geometry and glamour of colonial-era Bombay's most elegant buildings.
Members' Club
Private, curated, unhurried. Dark woods and brass. Spaces that feel earned.
Princely Residence
The intimacy of a great private home — not the scale of a hotel lobby.
Contemporary Bar
The precision and ceremony of the world's best cocktail bars. Nothing superfluous.
A culturally rooted, cocktail-led luxury Indian dining destination. IKKIS occupies a space no other brand currently owns.
Luxury Hospitality
The Oberoi, Taj, Aman. Grand scale, impeccable service. But not cultural storytelling, not cocktail-led, not for the new generation.
Fine Dining
Masque, Indian Accent, Tresind. Chef-driven, intimate. But not cultural celebration destinations and not cocktail-bar led.
Luxury Bar
PCO, Sidecar, Tesouro. Cocktail-first, skilled. But not dining destinations and not culturally rooted in Indian identity.
The Gap
Contemporary Indian cuisine + luxury cocktail culture + Indian cultural storytelling + aspirational modern consumers. The space none of them occupies.
IKKIS is designed as a hospitality brand, not a single restaurant. Multiple revenue streams from day one, with an expanding portfolio of experiences as the brand matures.
Restaurant
Core revenue engine. Full-service dining, all-day covers, private dining room.
Cocktail Bar
Standalone bar destination. Walk-in and reservation. High-margin, high-velocity.
Chef's Table 21
Premium ticketed experience. Limited seats. Premium pricing. Full exclusivity.
Founders Circle
21-member founding program. Annual access, preferential reservations, exclusive events.
Private Events
Buyouts, corporate events, product launches, cultural evenings.
Collaborations
Fashion, art, jewellery — curated brand partnerships that reinforce cultural positioning.
Retail & Merch
House-bottled spirits, branded tableware, collaborations with Indian artisans.
Cultural Programming
Talks, performances, art installations. The cultural heartbeat of the brand.
IKKIS is designed as a scalable brand. The concept travels because it celebrates modern Indian culture rather than a single regional cuisine.
The natural home. Financial, cultural and creative capital.
The seat of the courts that inspired the concept.
India's startup capital. The new royalty in numbers.
The global Indian. The luxury hospitality hub.
Gateway to Southeast Asia's sophisticated dining market.
The historic connection. India's story on its own terms.
The global stage. Where Indian luxury commands attention.
A new-age Indian luxury hospitality brand. Built to endure.
