KOKO introduces a limited-time Chef's Special Menu inspired by Asia's most distinctive flavour

Launching from 1st August across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the limited-time menu explores the many expressions of Mala through KOKO's signature take on modern Asian cuisine. 

Mumbai, August 2026: KOKO, the Asian luxury dining restaurant by Pebble Street Hospitality, returns with the latest edition of its much-awaited Chef's Special Menu, available from 1st August 2026 across Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Introduced annually, the limited-time menu gives KOKO's culinary team the opportunity to spotlight a defining ingredient or flavour that inspires the season. This year, the focus is on Mala, the bold, unmistakable flavour profile that has long held its place at the heart of Asian cuisine. 

Known for its balance of heat, spice and aromatic depth, mala serves as the starting point for a menu that explores its many expressions across salads, sushi, dim sum, small and big plates. Interpreted through KOKO's signature style of modern Asian cuisine, each dish showcases a different expression of the flavour, highlighting its versatility while staying true to the restaurant's refined approach to cooking. 

"At KOKO, every menu is an opportunity to evolve while staying true to the flavours our guests know and love.This Chef's Special Menu is our take on Mala, a flavour profile that's complex, premium and deeply soulful. We've reimagined it through a fresh perspective allowing its many layers to shine through dishes that feel both familiar and unexpected." says Keenan Tham, Founder, Pebble Street Hospitality. 

The menu begins with the Green Harvest Salad, a refreshing combination of romaine and iceberg lettuce, tempura crisps and sesame peppercorn dressing. The sushi selection features the Forest Mushroom Roll, bringing together avocado, cucumber and chia seeds, alongside the Smoked Truffle Dory Roll, with John Dory, avocado and smoked truffle mayo.

The dim sum offering includes the Golden Pocket, filled with mozzarella, cheddar and cream cheese, kimchi and green peppercorn, and the Imperial Lamb Dumpling, packed with lamb, scallions and peppercorn.

Among the small plates are Sesame Spinach Cake, served with chilli peppercorn oil, sesame and sweet chilli sauce, Garden Vegetables, Mala Style, a vibrant medley of seasonal vegetables tossed in KOKO's signature mala sauce, Mala Chicken, Thai Chilli, featuring tender chicken with asparagus, water chestnuts, Thai chillies and dried chillies, and Lobster & Scallions, Mala Style, combining lobster with portobello mushrooms and fragrant peppercorns.

The experience concludes with Brown Butter Indulgence, a rich brown butter cake served with chocolate mousse, salted caramel sauce and caramel ice cream.

"Every new menu begins with curiosity. Some dishes are inspired by flavours I've cooked with for years, while others come from experimenting with ingredients and techniques that continue to excite me. With this menu, I wanted to showcase the aromatic and layered character of mala. My hope is that guests leave having discovered a new side to a flavour they thought they already knew," says Chef Eric Sifu, Chief Culinary Officer at KOKO.
