Gurugram, March 21, 2025 – Cricket legend Yuvraj Singh is set to redefine the culinary landscape with the launch of KOCA, an experiential, high-energy fine dining destination at Golf Avenue 42, Sector 42, Golf Course Road, Gurugram. Short for "Kitchen of Celebratory Arts," KOCA is more than just a restaurant—it is a space where every day is a celebration. Designed as a place for people to come together, create memories, and indulge in exceptional flavours, KOCA blends Pan-Asian and global influences, offering a bold, reimagined dining experience inspired by Six Sixes, featuring six distinct cuisines.

At the heart of KOCA is Yuvraj Singh’s deep-rooted passion for food and hospitality. Personally involved in shaping its vision, he has curated a special “Yuvi’s Favourites” menu, drawing inspiration from his childhood memories. Handcrafted by Chef Megha Kohli and Chef Noah, the menu pays homage to comforting childhood flavours, featuring standout dishes like Kadhi Chawal Risotto, Rajma Avocado Galouti, Smokey Cottage Cheese Tikka, Yakitori, Dal Dhungaree, and Seafood Linguine. KOCA also offers a thoughtfully curated vegan menu, reflecting Yuvraj’s commitment to mindful and sustainable eating.

The dessert selection is uniquely crafted, with chefs giving special attention to ensure it stands out from the rest. The menu features Hokkaido Cheesecake, Vietnamese Coffee, and many more innovative creations.

Adding to the gastronomic experience, Chefs Prateek Jha and Adiba Jha from Izumi Dubai bring their expertise in nouvelle cuisine, focusing on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, sustainability, and zero waste. KOCA promises to be a dynamic space, offering exclusive wine-tasting sessions, live cooking experiences, and curated chef’s table events, elevating the dining experience into something truly immersive.

The restaurant’s bar program, crafted by renowned mixologist Luca Cinalli, is a seamless blend of innovation and artistry. Designed to complement KOCA’s bold flavours, the cocktail menu features signature creations such as KOCA Mule, Sixer Picante, Sunset Boulevard, Banana Republic, and Espresso Powerplay, each adding a unique dimension to the overall sensory experience.

Beyond its culinary excellence, KOCA is committed to responsible dining and sustainability. The restaurant embraces eco-conscious practices such as portion control, complete waste recycling, and a strict no-plastic policy, reinforcing Yuvraj’s dedication to sustainable living and healthy eating.

Speaking about the launch, Yuvraj Singh shared, "KOCA is more than just a restaurant—it’s a dream brought to life. My love for food has always been personal, and I wanted to create a space that reflects my journey and the flavours I cherish. From comforting childhood dishes to contemporary global creations, KOCA is all about celebrating food, flavours, and togetherness. I can’t wait for people to experience it.”
