Alienkind, Bengaluru's UFO burger chain, is opening its first Mumbai outlet in Andheri West

Mumbai's burger scene is about to get a little stranger. Bengaluru-born quick-service restaurant Alienkind opens in Andheri West this weekend, bringing its sci-fi aesthetic and UFO-shaped burgers to the city after finding a loyal following in Delhi.

The restaurant created a buzz with a CGI-generated video on its Instagram, where helmeted figures step out of a spaceship, teasing a new store in Oshiwara, to open this Saturday, July 11. 

Alienkind's flagship store opened in Bengaluru in 2024, taking the city by storm. Founders Vikram Kakkireni and Abhishek Kumar then expanded their business to Delhi, launching their first outlet in Connaught Place in March this year, with two more following in Moti Nagar and Kamala Nagar. 

What to expect?

You'd expect the usual: burgers, fries and coffee. And yes, those are here too. But Alienkind's menu leans delightfully offbeat, with Starship Burgers, HyperSlab sandwiches, Portal bagels and a line-up of experimental drinks. The flavours steer clear of the standard Indian fast food playbook too, with chimichurri sandwiches and gochujang burgers instead of the predictable tandoori-and-mayo combinations.

The drinks have become something of a signature. Think strawberry and granola shakes, coconut-mango coolers with sago pearls, and protein-packed smoothies that have developed a loyal following of their own.

And as the name suggests, the interiors of this next-gen cafe are alien-inspired – orangish neon-lit, scarlet walls, futuristic costume decor.
