The company has opened its first outlet in Belagavi (Belgaum), expanding Chinese Wok’s Karnataka network to 38 outlets
Chinese Wok, a desi Chinese quick service restaurant (QSR) brand from Lenexis Foodworks, has marked its entry into its 50 cities across India. The company has opened its first outlet in Belagavi (Belgaum), further strengthening its presence across South India and taking its regional footprint to 89 stores.
The opening also expands Chinese Wok’s Karnataka network to 38 outlets, reinforcing the state’s strategic importance within the brand’s cluster-led growth strategy. Over the past decade, Chinese Wok has grown from a single-city operation into a national QSR brand across 50 cities, the official statement noted.
Belagavi, one of North Karnataka’s fastest-growing tier 2 markets, offers strong potential driven by rising demand for organised dining, a growing young population and increasing preference for affordable, flavour-forward food experiences, the company said.
“Belagavi is a natural addition to our network as we continue strengthening our presence across Karnataka and South India. Looking ahead, our focus remains on accelerating growth across emerging markets while building deeper category leadership through accessibility, affordability and innovation,” stated Arvind R P, Chief Executive Officer, Lenexis Foodworks.
The Belagavi outlet, designed as a high-street format catering to both dine-in and takeaway consumers, will offer Chinese Wok’s signature range of Desi Chinese favourites. Expected crowd favourites include the Value Woks starting at Rs 99, Hakka Noodles, signature Kurkure Momos, the newly introduced Cheese and Schezwan Fries and a variety of meal combos designed for families and groups.
The company emphasised that South India continues to be one of the its strongest growth regions, driven by a large urban consumer base, an active dining-out culture and growing demand for organised QSR experiences.
