Bengaluru, 15th May 2026: Following the success of its JP Nagar flagship, Kalpaney, the modern vegetarian restaurant, has opened its second outlet in Indiranagar, Bengaluru. The new space marks a significant step in the brand’s evolution that stays rooted in its philosophy of reimagining familiar vegetarian food through a global lens, while introducing a more immersive, multi-layered experience suited to the locality’s evolved dining culture.
The Indiranagar outlet carries forward the warmth and storytelling that defines Kalpaney, while evolving the spatial experience to feel more open and dynamic. A double-height door and soaring ceilings make an immediate impression, architectural choices that are distinctly new to this space, giving the outlet a sense of scale and grandeur that sets it apart. Handcrafted ceramics developed with artisans from Khurja, alongside references to Kalamkari and other Indian art forms, are woven into the interiors, extending the brand’s narrative into something more tactile and expansive. The space is designed to create a sense of pause, allowing guests to engage more deeply with the food, the setting, and the people they are dining with.
Getting nostalgic about the new opening, Avinash Kapoli, Founder of Kalpaney, shared an anecdote and said, “Indiranagar is where Kompany Hospitality first put down roots, it is the neighbourhood that shaped how we think about hospitality, about spaces, and about the kind of experiences worth building. Bringing Kalpaney here felt like a natural completion of that circle; a chance to give back to the community that gave us our foundation, and to build something that truly belongs to this place.”
The menu reflects the brand’s signature balance of nostalgia in flavour and surprise in form. Alongside beloved signatures such as the Garlic Truffle Khichdi, Avocado Carpaccio with Izu Soya, and the Kalpaney Sushi Boat, the Indiranagar outlet introduces new additions, including Mathri Makhana Chaat, Raw Mango Avocado Roll, Jackfruit Dimsum, and Podi Mac & Cheese Arancini. Other must-tries include the Mushroom Galouti with Zafrani Parotta, a nod to Lucknow’s galawat ke kebab tradition, and Bhatti ka Paneer with its deep, smoky character. Across the menu, formats span vegetarian sushi presentations, globally inspired small plates, and layered chaats, offering something for every occasion.
“Every dish at Kalpaney begins somewhere personal, a memory from childhood, a flavour that stayed long after a meal was forgotten. At Indiranagar, that philosophy remains at the heart of everything we have put on the plate. What has evolved is the conversation those memories are now having with the world, with techniques and influences gathered across borders and kitchens. From Avial Spaghetti to the Podi Mac & Cheese Arancini, every dish is designed to feel familiar and unexpected at once. That tension is where Kalpaney lives,” added Chef Sombir Chaudary, Head Chef, Kalpaney.
As a no-alcohol concept, Kalpaney’s beverage menu is crafted with the same ambition as its food. Mocktails are built on layered flavours, regional ingredients, and thoughtful pairings. Fan favourites Imli ka Khajur, School Days, and Khatta Sharbat continue to anchor the menu, while the programme now welcomes a new addition to the family, kombucha in three distinct flavours, bringing a dynamic, evolving dimension to the drinks experience across both outlets.
With plans to grow thoughtfully across cities while preserving its core identity, Kalpaney sees the Indiranagar outlet as a meaningful next chapter: experience-driven, curated, and consistent in its philosophy.
