BENGALURU, September 2026: Some journeys are marked by milestones; others are marked by the people who show up for them. As Oye Kake marks 15 years of its journey in Punjabi hospitality, Bengaluru has become one of its most meaningful chapters yet. When Oye Kake opened its doors on MG Road, the city responded with a warmth and love the brand hadn't quite anticipated queues, quiet regulars and a city that took to Asli Amritsari flavours as if they'd always belonged here. That response is what brings Oye Kake back, this time to RMZ Eco World, Bellandur, marking the brand's second address in the city and a milestone moment in its continued expansion.

Oye Kake Mumbai's much-loved, 100% vegetarian Amritsari brand, founded by Pankaj Gupta and Avinash Gupta under Flavour Pot Foods opens its Eco World outlet with the same spirit that has defined the brand since its beginning: Asli Amritsari food, the warmth of Punjabi hospitality, the joy of eating together and a deep, unmistakable sense of nostalgia. At Eco World, that spirit is reinterpreted for a new setting and a new generation of diners, without ever straying from what makes it Oye Kake.

This is not about reinventing Punjabi food. It is about celebrating it in a way that feels contemporary, immersive and distinctly Oye Kake. From the food to the space, every detail draws from familiar memories of Punjab: the street, the home kitchen, the langar, the khaat, the lassi, each given a fresh expression for Eco World.

At its heart, the philosophy remains unchanged: "Khaana sirf khaana nahi hunda, eh yaad hunda hai." (Food isn't just food. It's a memory.) And at Eco World, Oye Kake creates a few new ones.

Founder Pankaj Gupta shares, "15 years into this journey, opening a second restaurant in Bengaluru feels like a full-circle moment. We didn't expect the city to embrace us the way it did at MG Road, and honestly, that love is what brought us to Bellandur. When a city welcomes you the way this one has, you want to bring more of yourself to it. Eco World lets us do exactly that on a scale and setting we haven't been able to explore before, with a substantial outdoor experience, a raised private dining space and for the first time, a live Lassi Bar. It's our way of saying thank you to Bengaluru and giving the city an even bigger reason to fall in love with Oye Kake."

A Design Language That Keeps Evolving

Every Oye Kake location builds on a familiar visual language, but never repeats it. At Eco World, that language becomes more expansive than ever. For the first time, the Oye Kake experience extends well beyond the restaurant itself, moving into a substantial outdoor environment where the same sense of colour, texture and playfulness continues into the landscape.

The space is designed to feel layered and lived-in rather than overly constructed, bringing together handmade elements, cultural references and contemporary forms in a way that feels unmistakably Oye Kake. A raised private dining space overlooks the reflection pool, creating a quieter, more intimate setting within the energy of the restaurant. Familiar materials and references are reinterpreted rather than replicated, allowing guests to discover small connections throughout the space details that reference Punjab, but reveal themselves in unexpected ways.

The result is a space that feels familiar without being predictable, rooted without feeling traditional and contemporary without losing its cultural soul. After Hyderabad and MG Road, Eco World represents perhaps the most evolved expression of the Oye Kake design language yet bringing together craft and culture, nostalgia and irreverence, familiarity and surprise.

Introducing the Oye Kake Lassi Bar…Your Lassi, Your Way

Lassi has always been an essential part of the Oye Kake experience. At Eco World, that ritual goes a step further with the launch of the Oye Kake Lassi Bar, a one-of-a-kind live lassi station imagined with the easy charm of a Punjabi street cart.

Here, lassi becomes more than something you order. Guests can choose their flavour, build their combination and finish it with their choice of toppings, creating a lassi that is entirely their own, prepared live in front of them. It is a playful, interactive addition to the dining experience, a moment of participation, theatre and fun, while staying true to the generous, uncomplicated spirit of Oye Kake.

Pick your lassi. Pick your toppings. Make it yours. It is Oye Kake doing what it has always done best: taking something deeply familiar and giving it a little more personality.

Asli Amritsari, Now at Eco World

The Eco World menu carries forward everything Bengaluru has come to love about Oye Kake 100% vegetarian Amritsari food built on the three pillars of Punjab's food culture: the langar, the street and the home kitchen. From tandoor-fresh kulchas and the beloved Amritsari Chaat Gali to slow-cooked dals, rich Punjabi gravies and the signature Kulhad Malai Lassi, the menu stays true to time-honoured recipes and Amritsari-trained craft, now set within Oye Kake's most immersive space yet.

Asli Amritsari. 100% Vegetarian. Now with a little more Oye Kake.

BENGALURU, INDIA, May 2026- Some journeys don’t begin with a launch. They begin with a longing. For Oye Kake, Bengaluru has always been that city, full of curious eaters, culture lovers and people who truly understand food beyond just the plate. A city we’ve wanted to come to for years. And now, finally, we’re here.

Oye Kake: Mumbai’s much-loved vegetarian and deeply rooted Amritsari brand - opened its doors in Bengaluru on 30th April 2026 at MG Road. Founded by Pankaj Gupta and Avinash Gupta under Flavour Pot Foods, the brand brings with it not just food, but a feeling of Amritsar, of home, of sitting around a table where conversations are loud, lassi is colder than it should be and the kulchas never stops coming.
At its heart, Oye Kake has always stood for one simple truth:
“Khaana sirf khaana nahi hunda — eh yaad hunda hai.”
(Food isn’t just food - it’s a memory.)

And that memory now finds a new home in Bengaluru.

Founder Pankaj Gupta, adds “Bengaluru has long been on our expansion roadmap, and the response to Oye Kake in Hyderabad reaffirmed the demand for authentic regional Punjabi food rooted in Punjab’s kitchens. At Oye Kake, we keep it simple—no frills, no reinvention—just honest Amritsari food in its truest form, while bringing alive the spirit of Amritsar through our hospitality and experience.

We also aim to challenge perceptions around Punjabi cuisine, as Punjab has a strong vegetarian food culture, with Amritsar itself being over 75% vegetarian, proudly reflected in our menu.The excitement around Bengaluru led us to sign two locations, with MG Road now open and Bellandur set to follow soon.”
A Space Shaped by Memory, Craft and Material

The Bengaluru restaurant, designed in collaboration with RAD Co + Lab, is perhaps the most ambitious physical expression of the Oye Kake identity to date. The space unfolds like a narrative told through material and memory with every surface, fixture, and structural decision as an act of cultural storytelling.

Draped in silk, an interpretation of Bangalore’s storied sarees & reimagined as a flowing curtain that subtly mirrors the brand’s emblem, the exterior creates a dialogue between two cities before a guest has stepped inside.

Within, lime-plastered walls and floors patterned after the traditional Phulkari dupatta create a tactile canvas where branding and tradition merge seamlessly. Even the bespoke light fixtures are strung with threads used to embroider dupattas and traditional fabrics, nothing in this space is merely decorative. Chairs have been designed from the humble khaat, with backrests woven from the very bands that crisscross beds in Punjabi homes. The lassi bar, layered in barley and frosted glass, glows softly — a reminder of the fields of harvest.

Overhead, a chandelier of 115 terracotta-finished pots floats above the dining room, interrupted by a drifting metal mesh & an abstract river tracing the flow of Punjab itself. From the granite stone basin inspired by the old Indian pyau, to the mud tile dado lining the restrooms and corridors, every detail is deliberate.

A large mural anchors the space, tracing the contours of Bangalore and its network of lakes. Within one of these water bodies, a softly diffused circular light emerges- an abstract, almost subconscious echo of the Golden Temple, held gently within its reflective moat. It is the restaurant’s most quietly powerful moment: two cities, two cultures, one shared emotion, held in the same frame.
A Menu Inspired by Punjab’s Streets, Homes and the Sacred Langar

At its core, Oye Kake brings to Bengaluru a 100% vegetarian Amritsari dining experience built on the three pillars of Punjab’s food culture: the humble langar, the street and the home kitchen. The culinary approach is led by Amritsari-trained Ustaads with an unwavering focus on live tandoor cooking, hand-rolled breads, slow-cooked dals and the use of clay and iron-based cooking methods. The philosophy is simple; exceptional food comes from treating ingredients with care and staying true to time-honoured recipes.

The menu opens with Amritsari De Kulche, fresh from the tandoor, loaded with flavour. Classic Bharwan Kulche spanning Aloo, Pyaaz, Gobi and Mooli sit alongside loaded variations: Paneer Kulcha, Methi Masala Kulcha, Cheese Garlic Kulcha and the beloved Nutree Wale Kulcha, with any combination of two stuffings available for the indecisive.

The Amritsari Chaat Gali section is a love letter to North India’s street food canon: tangy, crunchy, sweet, spicy, and full of old-school street-side charm. Dahi Bhalla, Chole Samosa Chaat, Laccha Tokri Chaat, Raj Kachori, Gol Gappe, each dish is a memory trigger, deliberately so. The Tandoor, Tikkiyan te Chatpatta Nasha section takes the snacking ritual further with Mirch Lasooni Paneer Tikka, the smoky Bhatti da Paneer, Lasooni Chaap, Tandoori Mushroom Cheese Melt and the deeply satisfying Malai Wale Gobhi Broccoli.

Chef Varun Singh (Brand Chef) says, “At Oye Kake Pure Veg, my heart lies in bringing the real taste of Amritsar to our guests. We cook the way it has always been done—breads rising in the tandoor, spices blended by hand, and recipes passed down through generations. Every kulcha, chole, and chutney is prepared with care so that when you eat here, you feel the same comfort and joy as if you were dining in Amritsar itself.

As chef, I see my role not in changing or experimenting with these dishes, but in protecting their soul. Our promise is simple: to serve food that is authentic, soulful, and true to its roots. At Oye Kake, you don’t just taste Amritsar—you experience it.”

The Punjabi Rasoi Diyaan Kadhaiyaan, rich gravies, homely sabzis and the warm, familiar taste of a true Punjabi kitchen is where the cooking slows down and deepens. Dal Makhani, Pindi Chole, Lasooni Palak Paneer, Ambarsari Malai Kofte and the standout D.A.V College Ki Nutri speak to a kitchen that knows its classics.

The Breads: Tandoori Roti, Makki di Roti, Chur-Chur Naan, Kake da Naan, Rogani Naan are made for sharing and to scoop up every last bit of that rich, slow-cooked gravy. And no meal at Oye Kake closes without the Kulhad Malai Lassi, thick, cold and poured the way it should be or the Jalebi Rabdi that ends an Amritsari evening on exactly the right note.

Oye Kake also brings this ritual of their much loved Desi Ghee Breakfast to Bengaluru, a weekend morning spread that is as much an experience as it is a meal.The spread is indulgent, nostalgic and deeply rooted in Punjabi household tradition: flaky stuffed parathas poured with desi ghee, along with the warm, comforting classics that defined mornings in every Punjabi home. It is the kind of breakfast that asks nothing of you except to sit down, slow down and eat with dher saara pyaar.

Guru Seva Ki Thali - Seva Langar

Among Oye Kake’s most defining and deeply cherished offerings is the Guru Seva Ki Thali, an unlimited, community-style Amritsari feast served every Thursday, inspired by the Sikh concept of Seva. Giving back to the community is an essential part of the brand’s core belief and with this initiative, the restaurant becomes more than a dining room. It becomes a langar for the city.

Premium Yet Deeply Accessible

Positioned as a premium yet approachable dining destination, Oye Kake balances authenticity with a modern, elevated experience. The brand’s tone remains rooted in tradition while being clean, contemporary and relevant to today’s audience. With a strong focus on storytelling, culture and flavour, Oye Kake arrives in Bengaluru with a clear ambition: to become the city’s go-to destination for soulful, 100% vegetarian Punjabi dining.
