City’s favourite Mangalorean Food Destination Bastian Ammakai Now Serves you Early Breakfast and a New Pre-Drinks Menu!

Bastian Ammakai, part of Ranjit Bindra’s Bastian Hospitality, has extended its operating rhythm with early breakfast hours and the introduction of a pre-drinks menu with Appa, further underscoring its all-day positioning. 

Mornings at Ammakai now begin earlier, with breakfast service running from 9 AM to 12 PM. The refreshed format draws from comforting South Indian flavours such as Masala Dosas, ghee podi Idlis and Stuffed Paniyaram, complemented by a few global breakfast favourites, including waffles and wholesome breakfast bowls. The shift reflects evolving dining patterns, as hospitality spaces increasingly cater to early social meetings, work catch-ups and morning-led gatherings. 

In the evening, the restaurant has introduced a Pre-Drinks Menu with Appa, creating a dedicated early-evening window before dinner and late-night plans. The menu features a 2+2 offer on select spirits, applicable to the first order of the same drink. Designed for guests who prefer starting their evenings out, this reflects the growing pre-drinking culture in urban cities, where socialising begins at restaurants rather than at home. 

Commenting on the development, Ranjit Bindra, Founder and CEO of Bastian Hospitality, said, “As a hospitality company, we’re constantly observing how urban social habits are changing. There is a growing demand for well-curated morning breakfast spreads and early-evening experiences. With Ammakai, we saw an opportunity to address both within the same space, while keeping the food and beverages rooted in character.” 

Notably, Ammakai marks Bastian Hospitality’s debut into Mangalorean cuisine. Conceptually rooted in the tastes and sensibilities of South Indian mothers, the restaurant positions itself around comfort-driven flavours and nostalgic memory-led cooking.
