Shoyu, a visionary creation by actor Naga Chaitanya, sports entrepreneur Varun Tripuraneni, and seasoned F&B experts Akshay Quenin and Tanveer Kwatra, has redefined the concept of premium pan-Asian dining in Hyderabad. Established in 2022, Shoyu is India’s largest single-kitchen gourmet cloud kitchen and a brand that consistently delivers on flavour, innovation, and sustainability.
With an ambitious goal to make high-quality Asian cuisine accessible, Shoyu has already catered to over 60,000 customers, making its mark as a trusted name for culinary excellence. The brand’s innovative offerings, such as in-flight catering, live event services, and home deliveries, have made it a game-changer in the food delivery segment.
In a world where convenience often comes at the cost of quality, Shoyu has reimagined the takeaway experience, seamlessly blending bold flavours with eco-conscious practices. Known for its signature pan-Asian offerings, the brand delivers culinary excellence straight to your doorstep in sustainable, high-quality paper packaging that ensures the food stays as fresh as it is delicious.
While bearing the name of a classic Japanese soy sauce, this delivery-only venture offers a much broader spectrum of flavors, accessible through popular food delivery applications. Forget the traditional sit-down experience; Shoyu delivers a curated menu of dishes directly to your home. Embarking on a culinary journey at Shoyu is akin to traversing a landscape rich with innovative flavours and textures, each dish meticulously crafted to tantalize the palate.
The adventure began with the Spicy Duck Chili Plum Oil, where tender, smoky duck harmoniously melds with the sweet tang of plum oil, creating a symphony of contrasts that invigorates the senses.
Seafood aficionados will find delight in the Black Pepper Crab Dumpling, where the natural sweetness of crab meat is accentuated by a subtle black pepper kick, encapsulated in delicate dumpling skins.
Equally inventive is the Beef Cheeseburger Spring Roll, a playful fusion that encases the familiar juiciness of a cheeseburger within the crisp embrace of a spring roll wrapper, offering both comfort and surprise in each bite.
Shoyu’s prowess with seafood is further showcased in the Wok-Fried Lemongrass Fish, a dish that bursts with zesty citrus notes, and the Misoyaki Fish, a testament to umami richness achieved through meticulous marination and grilling. For those seeking a spicier adventure, the Spicy Fish in Paper Bagpresents a medley of aromatic spices and black pepper, infusing the tender fish with a profound depth of flavour. Alternatively, the Wok-Fried Fish in Butter Chili Garlic Sauce offers a creamy indulgence, where buttery richness meets the gentle heat of chilli and the aromatic allure of garlic.
The Crispy Pork Belly Bao is a masterclass in texture, juxtaposing succulent, crisp pork belly with the soft, pillowy embrace of a bao bun, creating a harmonious bite that is both satisfying and indulgent. Meanwhile, the Twice-Cooked Kimchi Pork Belly introduces a smoky depth, complemented by the tangy brightness of kimchi, resulting in a dish that is both robust and nuanced.
For those seeking solace in a bowl, the Fish Green Curry with Jasmine Rice delivers a creamy coconut milk curry that envelops tender fish pieces, paired perfectly with fragrant jasmine rice to create a comforting and aromatic meal. The Mushroom Udon Noodles offer a hearty yet sophisticated choice, where chewy udon noodles intertwine with earthy mushrooms, all elevated by a subtle truffle aroma that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
The meal concluded with a selection of mouth-watering desserts. Shoyu’s desserts are as indulgent as the preceding courses. The Chocolate Baileys Trifle presents layers of silky creaminess infused with the rich notes of Baileys, while the Espresso Panna Cotta offers a delicate balance of coffee’s boldness and the dessert’s inherent lightness. The Jaggery Cheesecake introduces a traditional touch, with the caramel-like sweetness of jaggery melding seamlessly into the creamy texture, and the Crème Biscoff provides a melt-in-your-mouth decadence, leaving a lasting impression of sweetness and satisfaction.
With each dish, Shoyu delivers a curated experience that feels both luxurious and approachable.
Shoyu’s commitment to the environment is evident in its choice of packaging. The use of premium biodegradable boxes not only reduces the ecological footprint but also ensures that the food arrives in pristine condition, making it a standout in the takeaway market.
At the moment Shoyu operates from Madhapur, the Financial District, and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad. The brand’s roadmap includes launching in metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, and Delhi. Achieving double-digit growth annually and targeting a 30% increase this year, Shoyu is all set to become a pan-India phenomenon.
