French casual-dining brand Flam’s is set to enter India with its first outlet in Hyderabad at Hitech City in November 2026, marking a key milestone in its international franchise expansion. The 3000 sq.ft store, Flam’s Store in Hitech City, Hyderabad, will offer warm service, accessible pricing and a relaxed contemporary setting for young adults, families and groups. Its shareable format brings French dining to India while allowing menu adaptations for local tastes.
The brand plans to open 50 restaurants across India over the next two years, targeting Retail partnerships with entrepreneurs and multi-unit and Multi- Brand franchise operators in major cities.
Today, Flam’s operates and maintains a nationwide network of restaurants across France and is using franchising to accelerate its expansion into new domestic and international markets. India represents a high-potential market for Flam’s as organised foodservice expands beyond conventional QSR and fine-dining formats.
Founded by Franck Riehm and Éric Senet, Flam’s opened its first restaurant in Strasbourg in 1990. The brand is known for Flammekueche, or tarte flambée—an ultra-thin Alsatian flatbread served on wooden boards as a shareable dining experience. Flam’s currently operates a restaurant network across France and is using franchising to accelerate its global growth.

Commenting on the India entry, Gaurav Marya, Chairman, Franchise India Group, said, “India represents an exciting new chapter for Flam’s as the brand plans to open 50 restaurants across major cities over the next two years. Its accessible, contemporary and social dining format has strong potential in India, where consumers are increasingly seeking new food experiences and European cuisines.”
The brand’s flexible menu format allows franchise partners to adapt toppings and flavours to local preferences while retaining the identity of its signature dish. Flam’s offers franchise support, including development guidance, operational know-how and a standardised brand experience.
The Hyderabad launch will serve as the foundation for Flam’s wider rollout across India, positioning the country as a strategic market in the brand’s global franchise journey.
