Music maestro Shankar Mahadevan is all set to delight his fans, but this time with delicious South Indian food! The new place is called Malgudi, inspired by R. K. Narayan’s iconic fictional town. Just like the books, the restaurant hopes to bring nostalgia, warmth, and authenticity to the table. Talking about this new venture, Shankar Mahadevan posted on Instagram and said, “Food has always been close to my heart. I’ve loved cooking and sharing meals with loved ones just as much as I’ve loved music. After years of nurturing this passion, it gives me immense joy to finally bring @malgudi.ind to life.”
On the first day, Shankar Mahadevan invited kids from Child Rights and You (@cry_india) to relish the South Indian flavours at Malgudi. He shared a fun reel with the kids and added in the caption, “Before our first outlet opens, I spent a wonderful day with the children of @cry_india singing, sharing food, and celebrating together. It felt like the perfect blessing as we began this journey…”

Shabana Azmi and her husband, Javed Akhtar, also dropped by Shankar Mahadevan’s Malgudi to try out their amazing menu. The legendary actress took to Instagram to compliment the food of the new place in Mumbai and congratulate the singer on his new venture.
During a recent interview with Farah Khan, Shankar Mahadevan explained that Malgudi will allow diners to try a unique, lesser-known delicacy from South India. One of them is Mulbagal Dosa, a 100-year-old recipe that not many people know about. You can also find benne dosa, thatte idlis, and a modern twist to classic kappi–Kappiccino–on the menu here.
