The restaurant will bring Mangalorean home-style cooking to the city, with dishes full of flavour, love, and homely feelings.
At Ammakai, you can indulge in the flavours of coastal Karnataka right here in Mumbai. The chefs bring recipes straight from Mangalore’s home kitchens, so every dish feels authentic and full of love.

Talking about the Ammakai, Mr Ranjit Bindra, Founder and CEO of Bastian Hospitality, shares, “Ammakai reflects the kind of food and hospitality we have always believed in at Bastian Hospitality: comfort-led, honest, and rooted in familiar flavours. What sets Ammakai apart is its approach to South Indian cuisine, where the focus is on specific regional traditions rather than a broad, generic menu. The food is guided by home-style techniques, instinctive cooking, and flavours that come from lived experience. It’s a natural extension of how we build our restaurants, creating spaces that feel welcoming and food that people can return to time and again.”
Next time, when you’re craving an authentic South Indian flavour, Ammakai is your destination.
