Restaurant India News: Hunaaan Expands With Second Bangalore Outlet in Indiranagar After 18 Years

Bangalore-based Chinese restaurant Hunaaan has opened its second outlet in the city, located in Indiranagar, marking its next phase of growth after nearly 18 years of operations. Known for its pan-Asian cuisine, Hunaaan has updated both its interiors and menu at the new location while maintaining its original flavors and culinary authenticity.

Established in 2008, Hunaaan gained citywide popularity when its second outlet on BEL Road became the flagship store. Despite challenges during the pandemic, the brand has returned with a new, more contemporary outlet in Indiranagar.

The menu has been expanded to reflect current dining trends and customer preferences, adding more variety and healthier options. New offerings include salads such as the Signature Hunan Salad with creamy miso dressing and the Asian Cold Silken Tofu Salad, along with soups like Miso Soup and Crabmeat Soup. Diners can order vegetarian and non-vegetarian dim sum platters, as well as sushi options including sashimi and uramaki rolls.

Korean dishes such as kimbap are also featured, with options in vegetable, cheese, tuna, chicken, and pork. A range of small plates includes Hunaaan Baby Potato, Thai Lemon Basil Tofu, Chilli Pepper Mushrooms, Kung Pao Chicken, Hunaaan Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Prawn Tempura, and Singapore Soft Shell Chilli Crab. Main course options feature big plates like Vegetable in Chilli Basil or Sichuan Sauce, Vegetable Dumplings in Hot Garlic, Guangdong Chicken, Tianjin Lamb, and General Tao’s Chicken. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available to accompany the food.

The restaurant continues to adapt its menu, incorporating additional Asian flavors while maintaining consistency in food quality, sourcing, and recipe standards.

The new Indiranagar outlet also introduces a design concept distinct from traditional Chinese restaurant decor. Moving away from the usual red lanterns, dim lights, and flags, the space features an upmarket, chic look. The 40-seater dining area combines fine dining and casual comfort with interiors inspired by Asian sensibilities without being overly thematic.

Customers enter through a foyer into a space filled with aromas and sounds from a live cooking bar. The dining section is divided with pinewood and poplin fabric screens inspired by rice paper, complemented by sheer blinds and narrow beam lighting that emphasizes the food presentation. Natural materials such as grey limestone, dark wood, and pinewood rafters add a rustic element to the modern design.

With the new Indiranagar outlet, Hunaaan aims to serve its loyal customer base and attract new diners, continuing its presence as a long-standing player in Bangalore’s dining scene.
