Our story

Mallige Mane is Kannada for jasmine house. It's a 26-year-old family home on 8th Main, and the family still lives upstairs.

Nothing has been knocked down or painted over. There's a walnut coffee counter where the dining table used to be, and the upstairs living room opens to guests when downstairs fills up. The coffee comes from estates in the Western Ghats, brewed with the flavours we grew up with. The food is simple and made to be a proper meal.

Your first home is where you live. Your second is where you work. This is your third.

Make yourself at home.

Rooms instead of a dining hall, low seating, shared tables and quiet corners to read in. Bring a friend, a book or nothing at all.

The living room

Low, Japanese-style seating and long community tables. The heart of the house.

The small room

Tables for two and four, for catch-ups and slower conversations.

Upstairs

Opens on busy days. A terrace is on the way.

The verandah

Outdoor seating under the trees, looking out at the neighbourhood ground where the skaters practise.

Around 60 seats across the house, indoors and out.

Coffee from the Western Ghats.

We brew estate coffee from the Western Ghats, the hills that have grown India's coffee for three centuries. Have it hot and simple, or try our cold drinks, which borrow from the flavours of a South Indian childhood.

An all-day kitchen.

A short European-Japanese menu that works at any hour: soups, salads, toasts, sandwiches, rice bowls and noodles. Every dish comes in a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian version, and portions make a proper meal.

The full menu goes up closer to opening.
