What Is Special About The Rameshwaram Cafe?
The name “Rameshwaram” was chosen as a homage to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s birthplace, reflecting the restaurant’s desire to root the brand in authentic South Indian flavours. The chain is known for celebrating culture, pure vegetarian food and integrity. Today, The Rameshwaram Cafe has become one of the biggest QSR brands in India.

As mentioned on their official website, The Rameshwaram Cafe was born out of a simple idea: to bring the authentic flavours of South India to everyone. Inspired by timeless recipes passed down through generations, it’s a space where food is more than a meal.
