From a single counter in 2015 to over 240 bustling outlets across more than 35 cities, Chinese Wok has come a long way—and it’s far from done. The Desi Chinese QSR brand, backed by Lenexis Foodworks, is aiming for a major milestone: 500 stores by the end of FY 2027.
With recent expansion sweeping through Kolkata and other parts of East India, the chain is growing fast not just in metros like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, but also in smaller cities where demand for accessible Asian-inspired comfort food is booming. In the last year alone, Chinese Wok has launched over 60 new locations.
But for founder and director Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, it’s not just about scale. “It’s a statement—that a brand rooted in Indian tastes, built with cultural understanding and a commitment to quality, can stand tall in a fiercely competitive space. The coming decade is about making Desi Chinese a national and global story,” he said.

As it celebrates 10 years in the business, the company is rolling out a special series of customer-first experiences. Think limited-time dishes, quirky food films, online contests, and on-ground festivities to thank the loyal fanbase that’s fueled its journey so far.
Lenexis Foodworks, the parent company, has built a diverse portfolio of fast-growing food brands beyond Chinese Wok—such as The Momo Co. and Big Bowl—serving up a wide spread of quick bites across malls and high streets nationwide.
If things continue at this pace, don’t be surprised if Chinese Wok becomes the go-to Desi Chinese brand not just in your neighborhood—but across borders too.
