Cahoots Debuts in Bangalore, Blending Cocktails, Culture, and Culinary Stories

Cahoots Debuts in Bangalore, Blending Cocktails, Culture, and Culinary Stories

 In a city known for its evolving food culture, Cahoots is a new name that’s quietly making waves on Brigade Road—not just as a restaurant and cocktail bar, but as a space that celebrates Bangalore’s past and present in every detail. Spread across 7,500 sq. ft. with a seating capacity of 250, this place is big, but somehow still feels like a warm secret.

Walk in, and you're met with dark wood tones, soft lighting, hidden nooks, and a vintage-inspired design that feels both classic and playful. Every corner seems to have a story waiting to be discovered and that’s exactly what Cahoots aims to offer: stories on plates and in glasses.

The highlight? The Classified Cocktail Collection, curated by renowned mixologist Yangdup Lama. This menu features 12 signature cocktails, each inspired by Bangalore’s local quirks and cultural memories. For instance, the Scandal in the South mixes moringa-infused white rum with a twist of sambar cordial, while the Daylight Robbery surprises with a tomato basil gin kicked up with habanero tincture.

“It’s a little secret, a nod to Bangalore’s streets and flavours,” Lama explains.

But it’s not just the cocktails doing the talking. Chef Vikram Udaygiri leads the kitchen with a menu that reinterprets Bangalore's food stories in a bold, modern way. Try the Vegan Tofu Puliyogare Arancini, which brings a crispy twist to a beloved South Indian rice dish, or the Mysore Masala Kulchette with Mutton Keema, which blends temple-town flavours with rich spice.

There’s also the Congress Crostini and Bhoot Jolokia Firecracker Tacos, playful dishes that pair Karnataka street snacks with global cooking techniques, proving local can be inventive too. Though the influences range from Indian and Asian to European, the soul of the food remains rooted in Bangalore.

“We didn’t want to just open a place, we wanted to tell a story that feels familiar,” say founders Amogha Varsha and Suresh Shetty. “Cahoots is for those who’ve grown up with Bangalore in their blood and those just beginning to fall in love with it.”

Even the name Cahoots sets the tone, it means a secret shared, a friendly whisper, a bit of mischief. And that’s what the space is: an experience that feels personal and memorable. It's not about trends or franchises; it’s about slowing down, savouring every bite and sip, and feeling right at home.

Cahoots isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a quiet celebration of everything Bangalore was, is, and continues to be—served with a twist, and always with a story.

India Sweet House Revives Karnataka’s Lost Gem ‘Chandrahara’

India Sweet House Revives Karnataka’s Lost Gem ‘Chandrahara’

Published on June 21, 2025

Bengaluru’s dessert lovers now have something rare and delicious to look forward to every Sunday. India Sweet House, known for its dedication to traditional Indian confections, has officially introduced Chandrahara to its menu—becoming only the second spot in the entire city to craft this legendary Karnataka dessert.

Chandrahara is no ordinary sweet. It’s a crisp, flaky biscuit shaped like a quarter moon, gently placed on a bed of rich Rabdi made with organic milk, sourced directly from India Sweet House’s own farms. This sweet isn’t just about taste—it’s a tribute to Karnataka’s deep-rooted culinary history.

Offered exclusively on Sundays at all 45 India Sweet House outlets across Karnataka, this move has already turned the brand into a go-to destination for dessert lovers from Mysore, Shimoga, Hassan, Mangalore, and beyond. And with a brand-new outlet opening in Chitradurga, even more people across the state can now enjoy this once hard-to-find treat.

The story behind Chandrahara is as charming as the sweet itself. Back in the 1950s, a local confectioner returned from France inspired by a delicate pastry he tasted there. Hoping to bring that same delight to Indian palates, he and his chefs recreated the recipe and named it French Sweet. But it didn’t click with customers. The turning point came when he renamed it Chandrahara, inspired by a popular Rajkumar film of the time. Suddenly, the sweet was a hit. That one smart change transformed a struggling dessert into a cultural treasure.

Fast forward to today, and India Sweet House is bringing Chandrahara back into the spotlight—with love, care, and premium ingredients.

“Bringing Chandrahara to our menu is not just about adding another dessert – it’s about reviving a piece of Karnataka’s culinary soul that was nearly lost to time,” said Shwetha and Vishwanath, Founders of India Sweet House.

Months of testing and perfecting the recipe went into this revival, and the founders’ passion is clear in every bite. The fact that this sweet is only available once a week adds to its charm, turning it into a Sunday ritual for many and creating a buzz among dessert connoisseurs.

Food historians and cultural experts have praised this move for its role in preserving Karnataka’s culinary traditions. With its growing footprint and focus on authenticity, India Sweet House is not only redefining the dessert scene in Karnataka but also reminding everyone of the emotional and cultural power behind a truly great sweet.

So, the next time you’re craving something special or planning a wedding or event, you know where to find Chandrahara. It’s more than just a dessert; it’s a taste of Karnataka’s soul.
