Rameshwaram Café: A Different South Indian Taste

• Rameshwaram Cafe, a Bangalore chain, opens in Mumbai, offering a distinct cuisine.
• Unlike typical Udipi restaurants, the cafe serves dosas, idlis, and sambar with unique tastes.
• Mumbai diners should expect differences in texture and flavour compared to familiar South Indian fare.

We Mumbaites are used to a certain taste of South Indian food thanks to the Udipi restaurants in the city for last so many decades. And The Rameshwaram Café is nothing like that.

Yash Parekh, the man who

brings the Bangalore franchise to Mumbai, points out that this difference is basically because Rameshwaram is Bangalore cuisine not the Tamil Nadu or Udipi one that Mumbaites are used to. “Our dosas are not thin and sambar not sweet. Idlis not round and small… quite a few things will seem different than the ones Mumbai is used to,” Yash says. “But that’s The Rameshwaram Cafe for you.”
