CELEBRATING THE HERITAGE OF GOWDA & MANGALOREAN CUISINES

A Taste of Karnataka, On Your Table. By Reservation Only.

For ten years, Bengaluru Oota Company (BOC) has been a home for Karnataka’s food stories, served the way they were meant to be experienced: with warmth, intention, and community. What began in a small mustard-yellow house in Halasuru has grown into a two-level dining space, yet the heart of BOC remains exactly where it started: in the kitchens and traditions that shaped us.

Meals here are by reservation only, which is just our way of saying they’re curated with intention. The menu is guided by the season, by what arrives fresh from the market, and sometimes simply by instinct - the same instinct a seasoned home-cook relies on, not a commercial kitchen rulebook.

Behind it all is Divya Prabhakar, whose two decades in hospitality show up not in grand gestures but in the smallest ones, and with a story shared about a family recipe, a gentle insistence that you take a second helping, the sense that you’re not a customer but a guest she’s been expecting.

Our Initiatives; Adigemane

In every part of India, there are people who cook with love and devotion, people who’ve spent years feeding their circles with recipes written nowhere, but remembered everywhere. Adigemane is our way of honouring them.

At BOC, we’re opening our kitchen to them for a couple of days every month, handing over our stoves, knives, and tables to home cooks from Karnataka and beyond.

Some dream of starting something of their own, others simply love to feed, Adigemane exists for both. Each edition opens a different home, bringing their stories, flavours, and hearts to our kitchen. We’ll share more soon. For now, expect warmth, community, and curiosity, served with love, from our kitchen to your baale ele (banana leaf).

SERVED IN A WARM, WELCOMING SETTING THAT FEELS LIKE HOME.

With an intimate dining setting for small and large gatherings, we celebrate the flavours, aromas, and stories of our Gowda and Mangalorean food, ensuring every bite connects you to our roots.

Love Notes from Our Community

  • DOROTHEA KOH

    What a lovely meal by Divya and her team — possibly one of the best meals I have had in Bangalore. Delicious home cooked food, generous portions and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone interested in trying an authentic local experience.

  • YOGITA UCHIL

    If you are as passionate about Indian regional food as I am, then Bengaluru Oota Company is a must-visit destination in Bengaluru. In a city increasingly drawn to international flavours, Bengaluru Oota Company beautifully bridges the gap to authentic local tastes.

  • OLIVIA DEVROY

    It's a great showcase of Karnataka food scenery, especially Gowda cuisine that's hyper-localised to Bangalore. The taste is top-notch, flavours and textures just what it should be - freshly cooked home food. The host takes you through stories of the recipe which adds a familiarity and history to what you're being served.

  • ALAN ARANHA

    I went to the Bengaluru Oota Company to celebrate my birthday. The food simply exceeded all expectations and left me with a dining experience like none other. If you are a foodie, for the love of food, head to the Bangalore Oota Company. It's absolutely a must-visit.

  • TOVI ANON

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the tasting menu at Bengaluru Oota Company, and it was truly a culinary adventure. The menu featured a variety of regional dishes from Karnataka, each prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. The service was excellent, with the staff providing insightful information about each dish and its origins.

  • ANIL RANKA

    It’s one of a kind and we loved it. Unique authentic and so yummy – Divya, the owner, writes and gives you the menu, explains what the food is and what’s the right combo, and the perfect way to eat to relish. One must try. We are vegetarians and we loved the food.
