South Indian food needs no introduction in Mumbai but somehow it feels like there is reintroduction that took place in March itself after Bengaluru’s The Rameshwaram Cafe opened in Churchgate. Celebrating the flavours of South India, and more particularly bringing Karnataka cuisine to the city, even Karnataka Tiffin Room opened in Bandra, its second outlet after Versova.

The latter part of March saw another South Indian restaurant open but this time, it wasn’t in South Mumbai or the western suburbs. Bangalore Room has opened in Thane, and as the name suggests, is yet another restaurant serving Bengaluru flavours in the city. The new eatery prides itself on “Bengaluru roots” and a place “Built on butter”, as per their post on Instagram. They have already got over 1,300 followers with limited social media game till now, but one that certainly looks like it is building on the buzz surrounding South Indian food in Mumbai right now.
