IKEA Coming To India With Indian Flavours

The world’s leading furniture retail brand, which is also an eminent restaurateur, has decided to make its debut in the Indian market starting with the foodie city of Hyderabad. Stretching across an area of 400,000 sq ft the shopping space will have IKEA’s largest restaurant anywhere in the world with a seating capacity reaching as far as four figures.
