Choppaluna opening in Edinburgh as salad bar chain confirms capital site

An exciting new healthy lunch venue is set to expand within the UK, with an Edinburgh location set to open later this year.

Choppaluna opened their first UK restaurant in London in 2020 and have already expressed plans to expand further throughout 2022, with branches in the capital, Glasgow, Oxford, Birmingham and Cambridge amongst future plans.

The casual dining restaurant, which offers healthy food-to-go has seen a rapid rise in demand since opening in the UK and comes under the same brand as the popular German Doner Kebab and Island Poke.

The company specialise in salad bowls and wraps, offering customers something a little healthier to the greasier alternatives that have become popular across the UK.

On their website, Edinburgh has already been added as a future location and describing what the company's approach to fast-food is, they say: "Established in 2019, Choppaluna takes pride in providing healthy, delicious and innovative food, any way you slice it.

"Therefore, we’re building an empire of unique, contemporary and super chic restaurants in order to do so. In a world that is becoming increasingly more diverse in terms of diets, here at Choppaluna we’re a team of perfectionists that ensure to cater to everyone’s needs or guilt-free indulgences.

"To us food is an art, that’s why we build from scratch, chop to perfection and serve to the highest ‘Insta-worthy’ standards."

Choppaluna comes from the Hero Brands group, who have already impressed in Edinburgh recently with the launch of several German Doner Kebab outlets.

Co-founder Nikras Agha, who conceived the idea for Choppaluna with his Co-Founder Bijan Azadfard, said: "We are excited to be forging ahead with our growth plans to bring our super-delicious, healthy dining experience of guilt-free indulgence across the UK."

"Choppaluna will truly revolutionise the healthy eating space in the country, bringing people indulgent healthy options that fit with a fast-paced on-the-go lifestyle.

"It is particularly pleasing to forge ahead with plans to open seven new restaurants across the UK so quickly after the launch of our first restaurant in London Bloomsbury in October 2020, and in my hometown of Berlin last year, it’s a huge achievement for our team.

"The opportunity is truly resonating with our franchise partners within the Hero Brands group and we will work with them to explore opportunities for further expansion throughout the UK."
