Bikanervala, the iconic Indian vegetarian food chain with a presence in over 20 countries, has officially entered the UK market, opening its flagship outlet in Hounslow as part of an ambitious £50 million expansion plan.
The brand is joining forces with The Montana Global Group, a leading hospitality player behind Kingdom of Grills and multiple Bikanervala franchises across Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. Their UK debut begins with a stunning 3,200 sq. ft restaurant and sweet shop located at 101-105 High Street, Hounslow.
The Montana Global Group has devised a dynamic rollout strategy that includes the launch of 25 new Bikanervala branches in the UK during Phase 1, with two additional sites planned for Southall.
Famed for its rich assortment of North Indian vegetarian dishes—from fluffy chole bhature and fiery samosas to zesty chaats—Bikanervala’s culinary heritage dates back to 1905. Its flagship sweets, handcrafted to perfection, have delighted generations across continents.
The Hounslow branch is poised to redefine Indian dining in the UK. With a broad appeal to Indian, British, and Asian audiences, it offers everything from event catering and festive gifting to an in-store wedding studio.
Monty Singh, Founder and Managing Director of The Montana Global Group, commented on the venture:
“We’re pouring £50 million into 25 Bikanervala stores across the UK, starting with Hounslow’s 3,200 sq. ft beauty! From Kingdom of Grills in India to our Bikanervala franchises in Punjab and beyond, we know how to bring the heat. Now, we’re here to spice and sweeten the UK’s wedding season and social events, turning every moment into amazing memories with North Indian flair!”
The Montana Global Group continues to expand its diverse portfolio, from operating Kingdom of Grills in India to launching Brands Unlimited, its multibrand retail platform offering over 100 premium names in fashion, cosmetics, and footwear.
With successful operations in the US and UAE, Bikanervala’s move into the UK market—starting with Hounslow and soon expanding into Southall—aims to make vegetarian cuisine the next big thing on British high streets. Drop by 101-105 High Street, Hounslow to taste the buzz.
