Foodsta Kitchens Opens Third Kokoro Japanese Dining Outlet at Nexus Koramangala

Foodsta Kitchens has expanded its Japanese dining brand Kokoro with the launch of its third outlet in Bengaluru, located at Nexus Koramangala. The opening comes less than a year after the brand's initial debut in the city, reflecting what the company describes as strong and encouraging consumer demand for Japanese cuisine.

Kokoro's menu centres on Japanese comfort food, offering dishes such as sushi, ramen, donburi bowls, katsu, gyoza, and other traditional items. The brand's stated positioning is to make authentic Japanese cuisine accessible and affordable for everyday dining rather than limiting it to special occasions.

Dilip Krishnan, Co-Founder and CEO of Foodsta Kitchens, said the pace of expansion — three Bengaluru outlets in under a year — reflects the trust of partners and the response from guests. He reaffirmed the brand's commitment to quality, authenticity, and accessibility as it continues to grow.

Nexus Koramangala, an established retail and dining destination in south Bengaluru, was chosen as the location for this third outlet as part of Foodsta Kitchens' broader strategy of placing restaurant brands in high-footfall areas that align with evolving consumer dining preferences. The company indicated that further expansion is planned beyond the current three Bengaluru locations.
