Gurugram: Cricket icon Yuvraj Singh, known for his swashbuckling sixes on the field, is now serving up an equally thrilling experience—this time on a plate. His latest venture, KOCA – Kitchen of Celebratory Arts, is set to become Gurugram’s go-to fine dining destination. Nestled in the upscale Golf Avenue 42 on Golf Course Road, KOCA isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an immersive culinary playground where flavors, artistry, and celebration converge.
KOCA brings together six distinct global cuisines, a concept inspired by Yuvraj’s legendary ‘Six Sixes’ moment from the 2007 T20 World Cup. The restaurant reimagines Pan-Asian and international flavors with a high-energy twist, making it a haven for food enthusiasts seeking a multi-sensory dining experience.
From Cricketing Legend to Culinary Visionary
For Yuvraj, food has always been deeply personal. He has infused KOCA with his own culinary memories, curating a special ‘Yuvi’s Favourites’ menu. Highlights include:
- Kadhi Chawal Risotto – a comforting twist on a North Indian staple
- Rajma Avocado Galouti – a vegetarian delight blending tradition with innovation
- Smokey Cottage Cheese Tikka – a bold reimagining of a classic
- Yakitori & Seafood Linguine – paying tribute to global flavours
- Dal Dhungaree – a slow-cooked masterpiece with smoky undertones
For those seeking guilt-free indulgence, KOCA also boasts a vegan-friendly menu, underscoring Yuvraj’s commitment to mindful and sustainable eating.
A Power-Packed Culinary Team
To execute his ambitious vision, Yuvraj has brought together an all-star culinary lineup. Chef Megha Kohli and Chef Noah lead the kitchen, while Chefs Prateek Jha and Adiba Jha from Izumi Dubai add their expertise in nouvelle cuisine, focusing on sustainability, zero waste, and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This powerhouse team ensures that every dish is not just a meal but an experience.
Beyond Food: A Complete Sensory Experience
KOCA’s appeal extends far beyond its menu. The restaurant is designed to be an ever-evolving gastronomic space, offering:
- Live Cooking Experiences – witness chefs in action
- Exclusive Wine-Tasting Sessions – explore unique pairings
- Curated Chef’s Table Events – where culinary innovation meets storytelling
The bar program, helmed by renowned mixologist Luca Cinalli, is another major draw. Signature cocktails like KOCA Mule, Sixer Picante, Sunset Boulevard, Banana Republic, and Espresso Powerplay add a flavorful punch, ensuring an electrifying dining atmosphere.
