Raani, a new Indian restaurant from the team behind Michelin-recommended Adrak Yorkville, is getting ready to open in Toronto at 360 Bay Street.

The new restaurant is expected to open in the coming months, according to BlogTO. While an exact opening date has yet to be announced, the concept comes from MJAJ Hospitality and founder Ambica Jain, who has been behind Adrak Yorkville since 2022. Customers can expect a new Indian dining concept centered around heritage and a refined dining experience.

Jain has built a strong reputation in Toronto’s restaurant scene through Adrak Yorkville, which has earned a Michelin recommendation and attracted celebrity customers. The restaurant has become known for offering a polished take on Indian cuisine, helping it stand apart from many traditional Indian restaurants in the city. Jain also serves as Co-Founder of MJAJ Hospitality, the company behind Adrak Yorkville, Adrak Richmond Hill, and Bikanervala Canada. Raani marks the group’s latest restaurant project.

According to the restaurant’s social media, Raani is described as “a bold Indian dining room inspired by the opulence and grandeur of India’s 18th and 19th century princely states.” The team has also shared that the restaurant’s name comes from the Sanskrit word Rajñi, a title associated with power, presence, and authority. Additional details about the menu and interior have not yet been announced.

This will be an excellent landing space for Raani, with 360 Bay Street placing the restaurant in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District. The area is surrounded by office towers, hotels, residential buildings, and major transit connections, creating steady demand throughout the week. The location also introduces the concept to both downtown professionals and visitors looking for upscale dining options.

Raani continues MJAJ Hospitality’s expansion following the success of Adrak Yorkville and Adrak Richmond Hill. Although many details remain under wraps, the new restaurant appears to build on the group’s reputation for elevated Indian dining while introducing a distinct concept of its own. More information, including the opening date and menu, is expected to be announced in the coming months.
