EBG Group, a diversified Indian business conglomerate with interests spanning mobility, health and wellness, real estate, technology, lifestyle, and food and beverages, has announced the opening of Tarzan Jungle Cafe, marking an expansion of its presence in the food and beverage segment.
This cafe is a nature-led experiential dining concept that combines immersive jungle-inspired spaces with fresh, farm-linked food and its ‘Know Your Source’ approach. With a long-term vision of opening more than 100 cafes across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities over the next three years, the group has earmarked an investment of over Rs 2 crore to develop the first Jungle Flagship Cafe.
The first Tarzan Jungle Cafe is slated to open in Hyderabad by March 2027, with EBG Group planning a phased rollout across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and other major cities. The expansion will begin with company-operated flagship outlets, followed by a structured franchise-led model to scale the brand’s presence.
“India is moving from simply dining out to choosing places that reflect how people want to live. With Tarzan Jungle Cafe, we want to bring together the emotion of nature, the excitement of an immersive experience and the trust of food whose source can increasingly be seen and understood. Our ambition is to build a concept that is distinctive enough to create an experience, yet structured enough to scale across cities,” said Dr Irfan Khan, Founder & Chairman, EBG Group.
He further stated that a defining element of the café will be EBG Group’s ‘Know Your Source’ approach. “The company intends to build a qualified sourcing network that prioritises fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and proteins from identified farms, producers and approved supply partners, with local and seasonal sourcing wherever practical. As the platform evolves, selected ingredients may carry digital provenance, allowing customers to understand where their food comes from and how it reaches the café,” he added.
Tarzan Jungle Cafe builds on EBG Group’s growing portfolio of experience-led food and beverage brands. The group already operates 50+ Adhira’s, Appa Coffee Cafés, Natuf Café, its Levantine Café brand, and Chhota Bheem Cafe in Hyderabad, a children-focused experiential dining concept designed for families.
The brand will be introduced through three formats: Tarzan Express (Pod/Kiosk), Tarzan Midway Café, and Jungle Flagship (G+1, approximately 3,500–5,000 sq. ft.) The first Hyderabad outlet will serve as the prototype for the brand’s expansion across India, bringing the feeling of nature and escape into an accessible urban dining experience.
