American entertainment and dining giant eyes national footprint with second outlet

Mumbai, India – Popular American dining and entertainment brand Dave & Buster’s has officially opened its doors in Mumbai with a new outlet at Infinity Mall, marking its second store in India and continuing its ambitious growth strategy in the country.

The expansion comes on the heels of the brand’s highly successful debut in India with its 27,000 sq. ft. flagship location in Koramangala, Bangalore—the first global franchise store for Dave & Buster’s. Spearheading the India operations is the Malpani Group, a diversified Indian conglomerate and the brand’s master franchisee.

Maintaining its trademark “Eat. Drink. Play. Watch” concept, the new Mumbai venue blends restaurant-style dining, a full-service bar, immersive arcade gaming, and social experiences under one roof. The format has quickly resonated with Indian audiences, particularly among young urban consumers seeking high-energy, experience-led destinations.

“Following the phenomenal success in Bangalore, Mumbai was the obvious next destination for Dave & Buster’s,” said Shreya Malpani, Director at Malpani Group. “This isn’t just a venue—it’s a high-energy experience. With Mumbai’s pulse for culture, community, and celebration, we’re excited to create a space that becomes the city’s go-to for entertainment that’s fresh, immersive, and unforgettable.”

With further openings planned in major metros, Dave & Buster’s is poised to become a key player in India’s growing casual entertainment and experiential dining sector.
