The Wok
Fried rice, chowmein, manchurian and chilli dry, tossed over a screaming-hot wok.
The Story
A cinematic dining room on Mehran Walk Food Street where Chinese, Korean, Desi and Barbecue kitchens share one pass — and no one has to choose.
Squid Game Restaurant started as an argument. A group of friends, four favourite kitchens, one street — and a stubborn refusal to pick just one for dinner. So we built a place where you don't have to.
Chinese, Korean and Desi cooks share a single open kitchen, with the barbecue coals burning out front. Karahi and handi are cooked to order, naan comes straight off the tandoor, and produce is bought each morning — anything that isn't fresh simply doesn't leave the pass.
The room is dark and dramatic on purpose. The food is the opposite — bright, generous and loud. That contrast is the whole idea.

House Rules
No one leaves this table hungry. Portions are honest and the kitchen doesn't stop early.
Order karahi, chowmein and Korean fried chicken to the same table. We plate them to arrive together.
Bought daily, cooked to order, nothing pre-plated. If it isn't right, it doesn't go out.
Long communal benches. Come as strangers, leave as players. Kids and grandparents welcome.
One Pass
Fried rice, chowmein, manchurian and chilli dry, tossed over a screaming-hot wok.
Korean fried chicken, tteokbokki and black bean noodles, served with rice.
Karahi and boneless handi in every style, mandi, dumpukh and daal makhni — full or half.
Tikka, boti and seekh kabab off the coals, with naan and paratha fresh from the tandoor.
We're stall 07 on Mehran Walk Food Street in Hyderabad — the one lit pink after dark. Street-side tables for the noise, a quieter room inside, and a kitchen you can watch while you wait.
