Malgudi Cafe

Malgudi Cafe, whose name is inspired by the iconic 1980s television show “Malgudi Days,” aims to transport its customers to the heart of Bangalore through its ambiance, personal touch, and, of course, its food. Malgudi Cafe, affectionately known as “MC,” was founded through the collaboration of a seasoned restaurateur and three passionate amateur chefs. Before opening its doors, the chefs worked together to develop the batter used in their signature dishes, through a meticulous research and tasting process. They believe they have the perfect recipes. Today, customers travel hundreds of miles to savor MC’s crispy dosas, fluffy wadas, and soft idlis, often remarking, and sometimes with tears in their eyes, that this is the first time in the U.S. they have experienced this transportation home. What makes MC truly special is the care and dedication the owners have put into fostering a sense of community. They take immense pride in offering an experience that reflects the personalized service and quality vegetarian food that has been missing in South Indian restaurants in the U.S. For the owners, it’s not just about serving food; it’s about bringing a piece of their heritage to others, ensuring that every guest feels at home and deeply connected to the rich culture of Bangalore.

About Malgudi

Unique And Authentic Choices

We have placed utmost importance in the selection and preparation of ingredients by sourcing them from locations such as Chickmangulur, Hosur, Mysore, and Bangalore. We go to the extent of making pure ghee from scratch to give the extra sizzle to the taste.

Our specialty lies in our unique recipes accentuated with blend of flavors and spices imported from the farms in Karnataka. Each and every ingredient in the making of our food is carefully selected and assembled, so much so that we even make our own house-made ghee (clarified butter).

We take pride in serving freshly made food to our customers, and therefore, all our dishes are prepared upon order. We do not use any artificial colors or preservatives in our food. We also cater to dietary restrictions and offer gluten-free and vegan options.

Made Fresh Daily

Malgudi Cafe’s sourcing approach is a testament to the cafe’s commitment to both tradition and quality every step of the way. Every morning, the chefs prepare each dish from scratch; no frozen ingredients are used. The masala is sourced directly from Bangalore, the coffee powder from Sakleshpura, and the milk and produce from Lancaster. This thoughtful combination of regularly shipped South Indian spices and locally grown ingredients ensures that the food retains the authentic flavor of home while staying exceptionally fresh.
