Punjab Grill Opens 60th Outlet at Bagmane Solarium City in Bengaluru

BENGALURU, May 29, 2026 — Punjab Grill, the North Indian fine-dining brand operated by Lite Bite Foods, opened its 60th outlet in India at Bagmane Solarium City in Bengaluru on May 29, marking the restaurant group's 10th location in the city and a significant expansion milestone for one of India's most widely recognised premium Indian restaurant brands. The Bagmane Solarium City address places Punjab Grill at the heart of one of Bengaluru's most active commercial and technology corridors, giving the brand direct access to a corporate clientele that represents one of the strongest concentrations of high-frequency fine-dining demand in any Indian city.

The 60-outlet figure makes Punjab Grill one of the largest fine-dining Indian restaurant chains operating across the country, a position the brand has built through a combination of metro city concentration and tier-one city expansion over more than a decade of growth since Lite Bite Foods first launched the concept.

Punjab Grill's 60th Outlet Opens in Bengaluru's Tech and Commercial Belt

Bagmane Solarium City sits within Bengaluru's IT and commercial spine the corridor that runs through the city's eastern and north-eastern zones and houses some of India's largest technology campuses and multinational office developments. The location gives the new Punjab Grill outlet a working population within walking or short commute distance that skews toward the professional demographic the brand has consistently targeted through its full-service, premium positioning.

For Bengaluru specifically, the opening of a 10th city location reflects how thoroughly Punjab Grill has embedded itself in the city's dining landscape. The brand now operates across multiple Bengaluru formats mall-based restaurants, standalone locations and premium dining destinations covering different parts of the city and different dining occasions without the locations competing directly against one another in their immediate catchment areas.

Ranjit Paliath, CEO of Lite Bite Foods, described the 60th outlet milestone as a reflection of the consistent standards the brand has maintained across its network. "Reaching the 60-outlet milestone is a proud moment for everyone at Punjab Grill," Paliath said. "Bangalore has always been a city that appreciates great food, and Bagmane Solarium City gives us access to a dynamic, diverse community. We look forward to serving our guests with the same warmth and culinary excellence that has defined Punjab Grill over the years."

Menu Blends Traditional Punjabi Recipes with Modern Culinary Technique

The Bagmane Solarium City outlet carries Punjab Grill's full signature menu the brand's interpretation of traditional Punjabi and North Indian cooking presented through refined technique and premium ingredients. The menu draws on the clay oven traditions of the Punjabi kitchen, with tandoor-baked breads including naan, laccha paratha and rumali roti alongside grilled preparations including Murgh Malai Tikka and Bhatti Murg. Main course preparations span Murg Makhani, Dal Punjabi, biryanis and a range of slow-cooked curries that reflect the depth of North India's culinary heritage.

Punjab Grill's dining environment which the brand describes as evoking the grandeur and warmth of North India's heritage is a consistent part of its proposition across all locations. The interiors reference the visual language of North Indian architecture and hospitality culture, creating an ambience that functions as part of the dining experience rather than merely a backdrop to the food. The Bagmane Solarium City outlet continues that design approach in a setting shaped to suit both corporate lunch occasions and longer evening dining visits.

Lite Bite Foods Accelerates Punjab Grill Expansion Across Indian Cities

The pace of Punjab Grill's recent expansion has been notable. The brand opened its 58th outlet in Mumbai earlier in 2026 before adding a Bengaluru location to reach the 60th milestone, suggesting a rollout cadence that places a new restaurant approximately every six to eight weeks at the current rate. Lite Bite Foods also reopened the brand's Phoenix Mall Chennai location earlier this year following a redesign, signalling that the group is simultaneously refreshing existing locations while adding new ones an approach that maintains the brand's standards across an expanding network rather than allowing older locations to age while new openings receive investment attention.

The consistent geographic concentration in Bengaluru now accounting for 10 of the brand's 60 outlets  reflects the city's position as Punjab Grill's strongest individual market outside Delhi. Bengaluru's combination of high disposable incomes, a large resident North Indian population and an established culture of restaurant dining across both lunch and dinner has made it one of the most reliable markets for premium Indian cuisine in the country.

Punjab Grill Reaffirms Position as India's Leading Fine-Dining North Indian Chain

Since its founding, Punjab Grill has built a following across metros including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kochi by consistently occupying the space between casual dining and ultra-premium experiential restaurants. The brand's price point and service model position it as accessible fine dining premium enough to mark a special occasion, frequent enough to serve as a regular corporate or family dining destination.

Lite Bite Foods, which operates Punjab Grill alongside several other food and beverage brands across formats, has positioned the restaurant as its flagship premium Indian concept. The 60-outlet milestone places Punjab Grill among a very small number of Indian fine-dining brands that have scaled beyond 50 locations without franchise dependency a distinction that reflects both the brand's operational consistency and the demand for quality North Indian fine dining across India's growing urban dining market.
