Brine: A Restaurant Built on Time, Technique, and Atmosphere

Bengaluru, May 2026: Indiranagar has a new place to hang out, eat, and drink but it's unlike any other. Brine, a 120-seater restaurant and bar in Bengaluru is built around the idea of change and transformation. The space emphasizes atmosphere, rhythm, memory and the feeling it leaves on every guest’s mind, not just food. Bringing new flavours and textures in modern European sensibilities, it is an experience built on techniques that have taken years to develop. 

Brine began as an idea founded by Anirudh Nopany and Sreeram Anvesh and their decade-long experience in creating, running and scaling restaurants. With the success of Brik Oven, Bengaluru’s most loved pizzeria, Brine is a broader vision to create a brand that combines creative curiosity, higher standards and deep community connection. The name itself signals the philosophy. 

Brine is salt and water, but it is also transformation. Just as brine preserves and deepens ingredients over time, drawing out flavours and textures that would not exist otherwise, the restaurant treats its menu as something alive, structured, but never fixed, it is expressive. 

Signature dishes from their menu include Cheese Burgers, Roasted Tomato Risotto, Focaccia with Kimchi Butter, Beef Tartare, Charred cabbage and Bone in Lamb belly. With a head chef who has Michelin-star experience, the menu is both familiar and unexpected. The same approach applies to the broader experience of hospitality, which is designed to evolve as the space grows.

What keeps you at Brine longer than intended is the way the space makes you feel. Designed by principal architect Animesh Nayak, the 120-seater restaurant unfolds like a series of distinct environments within one continuous room—from the energy of the copper bar and bar-side seating to the quieter lounge corners and partially open outdoors. The architecture leans into restraint rather than excess. Granite flooring flows seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, while double-height ceilings, soft lighting, textured grey walls, and life-sized trees create a space that feels expansive yet intimate at the same time.
