It has been almost a month since Bengaluru's famed Rameshwaram Cafe revealed that they are all set to open their first-ever outlet in Mumbai, after Hyderabad and Pune, apart from the Silicon Valley of India.
While the buzz is already taking over the timeline of the city's foodies, it is yet to open, but the date hasn't been announced, however, there are some hints, and here's what we know till now.
Raghavendra Rao, founder of The Rameshwaram's Cafe, revealed in a post on the eatery's official Instagram page that "it is only a matter of few days" before the cafe opens to public. "It has been our dream to launch in Mumbai, that too in South Mumbai. We are there in the Eros building."
The video comes out 20 days after they released a statement on February 3 after their initial video on January 29, on Instagram saying, "Hello Mumbai, Thank you for all the love you've shown us over the past few days, we're getting ready to welcome you very soon. Stay tuned for our launch date."

While many Mumbai foodies want the eatery, situated just outside Churchgate railway station in the iconic Eros building, real soon, the launch date is still unknown, but we think we have figured it out to be at the end of February.
When one checks for the restaurant details on Google last week, it had even given the date as February 27. While it doesn't exist anymore, we believe they may have let us in on the secret, and we cannot be more excited, but you will have to wait for the official announcement.
Even as you get ready to visit, you can get ready to taste the ghee podi idli that is really popular there, along with other South Indian delicacies including their Benne Dosa and Paddu but not without the Filter Coffee, and Mysore Pak ice cream.
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.
While the cafe traditionally has a standing dining area at its other outlets, 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.
