It's been a little over a month since Rameshwaram Cafe first announced that they are going to open in Mumbai, and social media has been abuzz since then asking about the date but there wasn't an update until now.
After initially opening to a select few including food influencers and some of the industry's top names, they even hosted a free public food trial from March 2 to 5, coinciding with Holi festivities.
The serpentine lines outside Churchgate metro station showcased palpable excitement for the food that has seen many Bengaluru foodies become fans over the years.
Now, The Rameshwaram Cafe has finally opened to the public, according to their social media account. Taking to Instagram, the eatery posted, "Mumbai, the wait is over! We are delighted to announce that The Rameshwaram Cafe in Mumbai, officially opens its doors on 6th March."
It further added, "We look forward to welcoming you to experience two distinct ways of enjoying authentic South Indian flavours, thoughtfully brought together under one roof."
While the eatery traditionally has a standing dining area at its other outlets where people can expect fast service, the Mumbai area also has a seated dining area spread across the first floor of the two floor-restaurant at Churchgate.
Additionally, the cafe also has a private dining area, and a separate scenic section for people who want to work out of there, with a charging sockets, making it ideal for many Mumbaikars, who have switched to work-from-home after the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to details shared on their Instagram account:
Ground Floor - QSR (Quick Service Restaurant)
For a quick temple-style experience. Perfect for a quick meal with self service.
Time: 5 am - 12 am
First Floor - Dine-in Experience
A comfortable sit-down experience where you can enjoy the dishes at your leisure with full table service.
Time: 7 am - 11 pm
While many people have already had the chance to experience the food at the cafe because of their free public food trials, others have a lot to explore. If you have been to the other outlets across India, then you are already an expert, but if it is your first time, then you will like a lot of delicious dishes there. While you can try out the ghee podi idli, and the filter coffee, there are many other traditional must-try South Indian dishes to not only explore but enjoy there.
The beauty of this outlet is that they have a Jain version of the puri bhaji, for which the vegetable is usually made from potatoes, but will be replaced with banana, commonly used a vegetable in south India.
