Being an authentic South Indian restaurant we constantly strive to bring forth the true flavor of South India for our guests. The Brahmin Food Festival, which ended recently, was an example of this. However, we thought we should not just showcase South Indian cuisine but should attempt to build a platform for exhibiting South Indian culture, but we wanted to be sure. For this we zeroed in on a few things but then we thought let’s ask our most valued people, ‘You‘, after all it’s for you that we are here. For a small period, we asked questions randomly and then decided to go with the most wanted response, the South Indian Culture.

In this direction, starting this Friday, 9th of October, we will have a Carnival, each Friday, which will be hosting famous and not so famous vignettes from South Indian culture. We will evolve the components over time (with your valuable feedback to guide us) but we are starting with:

Channapatna Toys : A particular form of wooden toys which were born more than two centuries ago. Manufactured in the town of Channapatna in the Bangalore Rural district of Karnataka, these toys were first made during the reign of Tipu Sultan.

Palmist : Though fortune telling is an art which is practiced in many parts of the world, Southern India holds a special place in this because of the rigour that goes into the training of these fortune tellers (and some say because of the accuracy of the predictions!!). Bangalore has numerous foreign delegates visiting the city but a notable thing is that many top level officials have asked their Indian counterparts to arrange palmists for them. Such is the fame of our palmists and we feel this is an important art to be showcased, an art that no other part of the world has.

Live pottery : We’ve all seen and in fact most of us have used clay pots in our homes, but have we ever tried making them or even watched them being made ? South Indies’ Carnival will let you see and even MAKE your own pots. What’s more, you can even take away whatever you make out there. A one of a kind experience, probably never experienced before.

A Live Counter : Every restaurant has our food ordered and delivered to our tables but the Live Food Counter is a tad different. You can see special South Indian eateries being prepared ‘live’ in front of you. A South Indian teppanyaki!

Well, well, well, too many insights we guess, to see everything in action you need to be at South Indies Indiranagar on Friday, 9th October. Make sure, you book your tables to avoid any waiting time, See you there !
