9 New Restaurants In Bengaluru To Bookmark This September
1. Bao To Me
During the pandemic, Wan Ming Li and his brother, Foo Ming Li, opened a cloud kitchen in Koramangala with their friend, Vishwa Teja. Family recipes (like the baozi) passed down by Wan and Foo’s parents made their way into the homes and hearts of foodies in the neighbourhood.

On the menu here are Truffle Cream Cheese Dimsum, Tori Katsu Curry Rice, Bengaluru’s most unique raindrop dessert, Mizu Shingen Mochi, amongst others.

In a culinary scene that’s often dominated by global flavours, Nati Republic reminds Bengaluru of its hyperlocal origins.

Tied to the Nati way of life, spicy Chicken Biryani, Ragi Ball, Soppina Palya and chicken gravies simmered with freshly ground masalas will leave you with a taste of home.

If you can’t travel to the coast, the coast travels to you! The 43-year-old Hotel Fishland in Majestic has a new outpost in JP Nagar. Bengaluru’s oldest seafood restaurant’s new address unassumingly sits in a residential locality; dishing out budget-friendly Mangalorean-style fish-curry meals, Crab Chilly, Rava Fried Kane and other delicacies— all served on banana leaves. Don’t forget to wash down your coastal meal with the OG Goli Soda or Sol Kadhi!

4. Kahale
To say Kahale is a love letter to Bengaluru wouldn’t be an understatement. Tucked away in one of South Bengaluru’s oldest neighbourhoods, it’s where a coffee shop meets a darshini meets an old-school Bengaluru home. Red oxidised flooring, transistor sets, TV sets, and brass souvenirs take guests back to the 90s. For every tumbler of filter kaapi served, there’s an equally innovative Iced Hazelnut Coffee brewed in-house. Kahale makes vintage cool, as it should be!
