The kitchen

The Goan table, cooked vegetarian.

Sorak and xacuti, caldin and feijoada, poi to mop them up and sol kadi to finish. Around it, everything else Bengaluru eats on a weeknight — rice bowls, pasta, and a very long list of coffee.

Jamming nights

Most evenings, somebody plays.

Most evenings someone is playing. A keyboard against the logo wall, a guitar passed around, candles down on the floor and the room sitting cross-legged in front of it. No cover, no green room, no setlist we can promise you in advance.

Mangalore

Goli Bajji

Soft, round, sour-tinged with curd. The coast's answer to a rainy afternoon.
