Aspect Hospitality announces the launch of Akina Worli, its latest fine-dining destination in Mumbai. The launch event was inaugurated by Aksha Kamboj, Executive Chairperson, Aspect Hospitality Group.
The new outpost brings a refined expression of modern Asian cuisine and mixology to the heart of the city, combining design, culinary artistry, and craftsmanship to create an immersive dining experience that’s not limited to pan-Asian but brings in nuances from Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, and Peru and relooks at a whole new chapter in its Worli edition by considering it through an Indian lens.
Leadership Insights
From Aksha Kamboj, Executive Chairperson, Aspect Hospitality, “Akina Worli represents the next phase of our growth strategy, where India’s rising appetite for nuanced, design-led dining meets our commitment to building brands with long-term equity. At Aspect Hospitality, we are not focused on expansion for scale alone. We are shaping an ecosystem where culinary innovation, operational excellence, and cultural relevance move in complete alignment. Akina Worli stands as a clear statement of intent, reflecting how we plan to redefine India’s premium dining landscape with depth, discipline, and vision. As we enter new markets and strengthen our portfolio, our priority remains consistent value creation, sustainable growth, and a business model that endures.”
Hitesh Keswani, Managing Director, Aspect Hospitality, added, “In the last year, Aspect Hospitality has delivered one of its most transformative phases yet achieving record footfalls across its flagship restaurants, expanding its QSR footprint at unprecedented speed, and successfully relaunching key brands such as Opa Kipos in Mumbai which is Dubai’s iconic Greek fine-dining concept with its signature blend of Hellenic gastronomy, dramatic performances, and the iconic plate-smashing ritual synonymous with the brand. With multiple new locations in the pipeline, concept-driven ventures, and growing demand for its brands across India, the group’s exceptional performance over the past year has laid a solid foundation for its next chapter for growth.”
