New Restaurants in Bengaluru (June 2026)

Bengaluru's food scene never really sits still — but this season feels like something special is brewing. From the lanes of Whitefield to the heart of Koramangala, a wave of new kitchens has opened their doors, each carrying the flavours of a distinct regional tradition. Whether you're chasing a nostalgic bowl of Maharashtrian varan bhaat or a slow-cooked Awadhi biryani on a Friday night, June 2026 has a table waiting for you.

TL;DR

• 🍛 Maharashtra is having a serious moment — at least three new spots are celebrating its cuisine across the city.
• 🐟 Kerala seafood lovers near HAL and Brigade Road finally have dedicated, sit-down options close to home.
• 🌶️ Rajasthani and Gujarati kitchens are filling a long-felt gap in the vegetarian dining landscape.
• 🍖 Kongu Nadu and Andhra flavours are pushing south of the city toward Electronic City and Haralur.
• 🗺️ This month's openings are genuinely spread across Bengaluru — not just the usual central hubs.

Why Regional Cooking Is the Real Story Right Now

For a long time, "regional" in Bengaluru meant a narrow band of familiar cuisines. What's changed in 2026 is the specificity. Restaurants are no longer just labelling themselves broadly — they're going deep. A kitchen identifying as Kongu Nadu cuisine is signalling something very particular: the food of the Coimbatore–Erode belt, with its own spice palette, its own meat preparations, its own rice varieties. That granularity is new, and it reflects both the confidence of communities asserting their culinary identity and a dining public that's ready to learn.

The other shift worth noting is geography. New openings are scattered from Rajajinagar in the northwest to Electronic City in the south, from Whitefield in the east to Lavelle Road in the centre. Bengaluru's food map is no longer just a cluster around Indiranagar and Koramangala — it's expanding in every direction.

The Maharashtra Wave 🍽️

Three new kitchens are flying the Maharashtrian flag, and each takes a distinctly different approach.

Marathi Katta – Flavours of Maharashtra sits on the 3rd floor of a building on Neeladri Road, opposite Concord Manhattan, above RBL Bank. It's open seven days a week — from 11 AM on weekdays and 10:30 AM on weekends, with last orders at 10:30–11 PM. The name itself, katta, signals something warm and communal — a gathering spot in Maharashtrian culture.

Marata Darshan near Queens Road (behind Shifa Hospital) takes the military-style non-vegetarian route — think robust, no-frills meat preparations served at volume. Hours are Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 4 PM, with Sundays starting early at 8 AM. Monday is a rest day, so plan accordingly.

Suryawanshi Restaurant has taken the multi-location approach, with presence in Whitefield, Church Street, and Indiranagar. Open Monday through Sunday, 10 AM to 11 PM, it positions itself around authentic Marathi cooking with the convenience of being in neighbourhoods people already frequent. Check their website at suryawanshirestaurant.in for the location closest to you.

There's also Mast Marathi in HSR Layout — reachable at +91 88849 19043 or mastmarathi.in — adding yet another voice to the chorus.

💡 Desi Insider Tip: If you're serious about Maharashtrian food, visit Marata Darshan on a Sunday morning when they open at 8 AM. Military-style mutton preparations taste best fresh off the stove, and the early crowd tends to be regulars who know exactly what to order — just follow their lead.

Bengali, Mughlai, and East Indian Flavours in Whitefield

Sorse has set up on the 3rd floor of Arcadia Grace on Whitefield Main Road, opposite St Joseph's Convent School. The name refers to mustard — sorse in Bengali — which tells you something about the kitchen's philosophy: sharp, pungent, deeply flavoured. The cuisine spans Bengali, Mughlai, and broader East Indian cooking, which makes it one of the more interesting combinations to land in the city this season.

Weekday lunch runs from noon to 3:30 PM, dinner from 7 PM to 10:30 PM. Weekends stretch slightly longer on both ends. Reach them at +91 96-2045-6616 or sorse.in.

Rajasthani and Gujarati Kitchens Filling a Real Gap

Vegetarian diners in Bengaluru have sometimes had to work hard to find food that feels genuinely celebratory rather than simply meat-free. Two new openings change that.

Thar – The Taste of Rajasthan is on the 2nd floor of a building on 17th Main Road, Koramangala 5th Block, opposite 315 Work Avenue. Open every day from 11:30 AM to 11:30 PM, it brings the rich, ghee-forward, dal-and-churma tradition of Rajasthan to one of the city's most active dining neighbourhoods. The website is tharthetasteofrajasthan.com, and they're reachable at +91 89499 36747.

Rasodu – Your Gujarati Kitchen is located behind the KEB power station off 24th Main Road, and open 9 AM to 9 PM. The early opening is notable — Gujarati breakfast and snack culture, with its farsaan and morning-friendly thali rhythms, translates beautifully to the kind of place you visit before the day gets away from you. Email them at hello@rasodu.co.in or visit rasodu.co.in.

Awadhi and North Indian Kitchens Worth Knowing

Sultana's Kitchen on Lavelle Road has taken a focused, confident position: Awadhi biryani, Mughlai cooking, and Middle Eastern mandi. Open every day 8 AM to 8 PM — unusually early for a biryani specialist — it sits in Shanthala Nagar, making it accessible from central Bengaluru. Reach them at +91 97499 16688 or sultanaskitchen.in.

Kake Di Hatti – Rajajinagar is a pure-vegetarian North Indian kitchen on the 3rd floor above the Unacademy Centre on 20th Main Road, 1st Block Rajajinagar. Open 8 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week, it carries a name with weight behind it. Contact: +91 9606016918 or visit kdhrajajinagar.com.

Dalchini Kitchen out in Dommasandra on Sarjapur-Marathahalli Road covers North Indian, biryani, and tandoori across a broad menu. Open 10:30 AM to 11 PM, and reachable at +91 63631 92530 or dalchinikitchen.in.

Kerala Kitchens: Two Very Different Experiences

Kaippunnyam Kerala Restaurant is on the 2nd floor of St Patrick's Complex on Brigade Road, above Kanti Sweets — a central location that gives it natural footfall from people already in the area. Open 9 AM to 10:30 PM, seven days a week, it covers Kerala cooking broadly.

Kaayal near Jeevan Bima Nagar Main Road in HAL 3rd Stage is the seafood-focused counterpart — open 8:30 AM to 4 PM daily, which makes it a breakfast and lunch destination. The HAL area has been quietly building a reputation for serious, specialist kitchens, and Kaayal fits right in. Call +91 80 2520 5578 if you want to check availability before making the trip.

South of the City: Kongu Nadu, Andhra, and More

Kovai Kongu Mess near Hosa Road Metro Station in Electronic City brings the non-vegetarian cooking of the Kongu Nadu region — the food of Coimbatore, Tiruppur, and surrounding districts — to a part of the city that needs more good options. Open 11 AM to 11:30 PM, seven days. Reach them at +91 70900 00157 or kovaikongumess.com.

Seethamma Vindu Bhojanam in Haralur offers Andhra cooking, with all the bold tamarind, heat, and rice-forward generosity that tradition implies. Check seethamma.com for details, or call +91 97317 17778.

My Sooru Nivasa in Rajajinagar's 2nd Block rounds things out with a multi-cuisine approach anchored by wood-fire biryani. Open Monday through Sunday, 9 AM to 11 PM, at mysoorunivasa.com.

The Bottom Line

June 2026 is a genuinely exciting month for eating in Bengaluru. The regional breadth on offer — Maharashtra, Bengal, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Awadh, Kerala, Kongu Nadu, Andhra — reflects a city that's both confident in its own identity and deeply curious about the full range of its community's cooking. None of these cuisines need to be "discovered" by anyone; they've always existed, fed families, and carried meaning. What's new is that they're now finding dedicated restaurant spaces across more of the city than ever before.
