Kobe sizzlers has witnessed rapid growth and fafantastic interest since its origination with the future looking incredibly promising.

About Us

What Makes Us Superior Kobe Sizzlers is a sizzler joint and steak house brand specialising in the creation of high quality sizzlers. Our philosophy is really very simple: Quality sizzlers. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Good

food and great personal service.

Sizzler-

AAt the heart of our existence are sizzlers. We strive, every day, to achieve, improve and improvise on what we have been passionate about, since the time we dished out our rst sizzler – bellowing steam – in 1975.Our ardent endeavour is to make you smack your lips and lick your forks with every sizzler that nds its way out of our kitchen, on to your table and into your hearts.WWe have a near obsessive dedication to quality and hygiene and take pride in being the early pioneers of sizzlers in the country. We try to make our sizzlers as much home grown and authentic as possible; using the best of ingredients, like we get the nest black pepper from Kerala for our pepper sauce, while all the sauces (pepper, garlic, mushroom, schezwan) are made in house. WWe are aware that we are bringing to you something that is niche, something that involves a great deal of culinary innovation. Hence our creative juices – or should we say sauces – are forever owing.

Though Sizzlers are our signature meal, we have an assortment of oofferings to suit varied palates. Our extensive menu, designed by our highly experienced food experts, features a widespread range of salads, pastas, soups, rolls, pizzas, sandwiches, breakfast. And more. But we are best known for our sizzlers. As they say, it’s our bread and butter. If meat of the red and white kind is what you savour, then our famed Chicken Shashlik, or any one of the large selection of our Steak and Lamb Sizzlers would be more than sufficient to satiate one rravenous appetite.

We could replace the Steak for you with a slab of Paneer if a wholesome Vegetable Sizzler is what you are looking at. And if it is Seafood that allures your taste buds, then voila! Amongst the Seafood Sizzlers in our listings, Fish & Prawns Shashlikis what we have seen our long-time sea food enthusiasts swear by. All of this, laced with the choicest, traditional homemade sauces, the subtle avors of which have been passed down generation to generation. Recipes of which are akin to well-kept trade secrets. You might want to top it all off with some of the beverages we tender. Hot, cold or inviting iced tea or coffee. There is a Japanese saying about Kobe, the fth largest Japanese city, famed for its cosmopolitan spirit; “If you can't go to Paris, go to Kobe”

AAlas, alcohol is the only thing we do not proffer. We are family after all.

Atmosphere-

We radiate warmth and offer personalized service which is pprofessional, yet casual. Once you’ve stepped in, we want you to feel snug and comfortable. While you are here, we want you to leave the world behind you and immerse yourself in good food. We are a family restaurant which means we like the ambiance to be convivial and welcoming where you can let your hair down with your loved ones. We are there to help you out with suggestions, and prescribe items on the menu to tickle your taste buds.

Franchising – A Quick Overview

WHAT IS A FRANCHISE?

A franchise is the agreement or license between two legally independent parties which gives:

• A person or group of people (franchisee) the right to market a product or service using the trademark or trade name of another business (franchisor) •• The franchisee the right to market a product or service using the operating methods of the franchisor • The franchisee the obligation to pay the franchisor fees for these rights • The franchisor the obligation to provide rights and support to franchisees

FRANCHISOR

Owns trademark or trade name Provides support: Training Receives Fees

FRANCHISEE

Uses trademark or trade name Expands business with franchisors support Pays Fees

TYPES OF FRANCHISE ARRANGEMENTS-

SINGLE-UNIT (DIRECT-UNIT) FRANCHISE

A single-unit (direct-unit) franchise is an agreement where the franchisor grants a franchisee the rights to open and operate ONE franchise unit. This is the simplest and most common type of franchise. It is possible, however, for a franchisee to purchase additional singladditional single-unit franchises once the original franchise unit begins to prosper. This is then considered a multiple, single-unit relationship.

MULTI-UNIT FRANCHISE

• Area development • Master franchise (sub-franchising)

A multi-unit franchise is an agreement where the franchisor grants a franchisee the rights to open and operate more than one unit. AREA DEVELOPMENT FRANCHISE

Under an area development franchise, a franchisee has the right to open more than one unit during a specic time, within a specied area. For example, a franchisee may agree to open ve units over a ve year period in a specied territory. The franchisor grants the ffranchisee exclusive rights for the development of that territory

MASTER FRANCHISE

A master franchise agreement gives the franchisee more rights than an area development agreement. In addition to having the right and obligation to open and operate a certain number of units in a dened area, the master franchisee also has the right to sell franchises to other people within the territory, known as sub-franchises. Therefore, the master franchisee takes over many of the tasks, duties and benets of the franchisor.
