A significant milestone for the renowned American bar and grill company TGI Fridays in India was reached when Ms. Kathy Giles-Diaz, the US Consul General in Kolkata, opened the brand’s brand-new restaurant. The redesigned outlet, which spans 7,700 square feet and can accommodate 118 people, promises to provide the city with an upscale, vibrant dining and bar experience.

TGI Fridays, which is present in more than 40 countries worldwide, keeps providing visitors with its distinctive combination of strong flavors, lively ambiance, and renowned hospitality. The reopening in Kolkata is a calculated move that establishes the store as India’s Center of Excellence for TGI Fridays.

Inspired by modern global TGI Fridays stores, the recently renovated restaurant features brand-new interiors that are in line with international standards. Visitors can anticipate a revitalized atmosphere, a lively bar experience, and a brand-new menu designed to honor the brand’s American roots while offering inventive and exciting flavors.

The brand’s dedication to worldwide quality and consistency is reinforced by the fact that the new store opening team has received specialized training from professionals from the US TGI Fridays team in order to guarantee world-class service.

The Kolkata location will act as the training center for all franchise stores nationwide, a first for the brand in India. Team members will travel from this flagship location to assist and instruct teams throughout the nation.

“TGI Fridays presently operates restaurants in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Gurgaon. Two new restaurants are planned for Connaught Place and Vasant Kunj in Delhi NCR, doubling the number of stores from three to six in a year. Many new locations are planned in the near future, underscoring the brand’s continued expansion and long-term commitment to the Indian market,” said Kuunal Maiti, CEO of Bistro Hospitality Pvt. Ltd.

The grand reopening invites visitors to rediscover the essence of Fridays, where delicious food, expertly made drinks, and exuberant vibes combine to create experiences that will never be forgotten.
