About Traditional Dining Experiences
Why We Do This
I’m always looking for ways to make celebrations in namma Bengaluru feel special. Over the years, I noticed people wanted something beyond the usual buffet - they wanted a real experience, something rooted in tradition but still elegant.
What Makes Our Dining Unique
- I combine classic flavours with a modern touch for a proper sit-down meal.
- Guests can enjoy either a royal thali service or the soulful banana leaf dining - both with their own vibe.
- My team fusses over every detail, from gold thalis to branded napkins to the way we scatter rose petals. We want your guests to feel pampered.
Royal Thali Experience
- Think of it as a seated wedding feast with formal tables or traditional chowki seating.
- Each thali is loaded with premium North Indian vegetarian dishes - not too much, just the best stuff: puris, paneer, chaat, jalebi and more.
- Perfect for weddings and big celebrations where you want a little extra wow.
Traditional Yele Oota
- Authentic Karnataka meal, served right on a banana leaf.
- Staff in traditional dress, serving everything from kosambari to bele holige.
- Food is balanced - not too sweet, not too spicy - so even ajji (grandma) will love it.
You celebrate, I’ll handle the food. Sirf swaad, aaj ke baad! (Only taste, from now onwards!)
