Chef Avinash Martins has brought his acclaimed restaurant Janot to Bengaluru, marking a new chapter for the brand that first gained popularity in Goa. Located at 1 MG-Lido Mall, the restaurant combines thoughtful food, warm hospitality and a menu inspired by stories, ingredients and travel experiences.
Spread across 5,500 sq. ft. with seating for 70 guests, Janot has been designed as a neighbourhood restaurant where diners can enjoy leisurely meals, creative cocktails and meaningful conversations in a relaxed setting.
Rather than focusing on a single cuisine, Janot follows an ingredient-first philosophy. Each dish begins with an ingredient, flavour or memory that inspires Chef Avinash, whether discovered during his travels, rooted in regional traditions or connected to personal experiences. This approach creates a menu that feels both contemporary and familiar while remaining approachable.
Sharing the vision behind the restaurant, Chef Avinash Martins said, "Some of the best dishes come from simple ideas. A meal you remember from a small town, an ingredient you discover while travelling, or a recipe that's been passed down through generations. Janot is a collection of those experiences. We wanted to create food that people connect with, not just admire."
The restaurant takes its name from a Portuguese expression often used affectionately by Chef Avinash's grandmother. That sense of warmth and nostalgia is reflected throughout both the dining experience and the hospitality.
The Bengaluru menu showcases a range of dishes inspired by Chef Avinash's culinary journey. Signature offerings include Udaipuri Laal Maas Galouti served with khooba roti, Gallina Cafreal featuring pulled chicken cafreal on a potato rosti with quail egg, and Military Lamb with herb-crusted lamb chops paired with donne pulao and sherva gravy.
Seafood dishes such as Patte Wali Macchi, a banana leaf-wrapped seabass served with fish stew and turmeric curry leaf cauda, and Odiya Crab Kassa with kasundi hollandaise and caviar beignets add further variety to the menu.
For vegetarian diners, dishes like Udaipuri Kathal Galouti, Makhan Phal Kofte and Rumani Baingan Chokha highlight familiar ingredients and regional flavours through a modern presentation while staying true to the restaurant's ingredient-led philosophy.
The beverage programme complements the food menu with cocktails inspired by regional ingredients, seasonal produce and Indian drinking traditions. Signature creations include Patoi, inspired by Goa's traditional patoleo dessert, Marmalade, Kokum & Curry Leaf G&T and Feni Colada, offering guests a distinctive and flavourful drinking experience.
Janot also caters to a wide range of dietary preferences with dedicated vegetarian, Jain, vegan and gluten-free options, ensuring an inclusive dining experience for all guests.
Speaking about bringing the concept to Bengaluru, Thejus Shivarama, Partner, Janot Bengaluru, said, "Chef Avinash has a very honest way of looking at food. Every dish has a reason to exist and every ingredient has a purpose. That's what drew me to Janot. Bengaluru's dining scene has evolved tremendously over the last few years. People are well travelled, curious and open to trying new things, but they also value sincerity. We felt Janot would resonate because it's not trying to be anything other than itself."
With its arrival in Bengaluru, Janot introduces a dining experience that combines comfort, creativity and storytelling, offering guests food that celebrates ingredients while staying rooted in genuine hospitality.

Faasos, a food brand from Rebel Foods, has introduced its Paratha Burger range, combining the familiar format of a burger with the flaky, layered texture of lachha paratha. Available across 20 cities in India from November 12, 2026, the launch gives a distinctly Indian interpretation to a globally popular fast-food favourite.
Instead of conventional burger buns, the new range uses lachha paratha as its outer layer, enclosing flavourful patties, generous fillings and indulgent sauces. Described by the brand as having a “flaky outside, freaky inside” format, the product is positioned as a loaded burger experience rather than a wrap, roll or stuffed paratha.
The range features six vegetarian and non-vegetarian options across three flavour profiles: Teriyaki, Chipotle and Hot Garlic.
The non-vegetarian selection includes Teriyaki Chicken Dynamite, Chipotle Chicken Blast and Hot Garlic Chicken. The vegetarian options are Teriyaki Paneer Dynamite, OG Chipotle and Hot Garlic Manchurian.
Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, “At Rebel Foods, product innovation is about finding new ways to make familiar food formats exciting for consumers. With the Paratha Burger, we have brought together the flaky, layered goodness of Indian lachha paratha with the bold, globally inspired flavours of a burger. The idea was to create something that feels familiar yet new, combining the comfort of a desi favourite with the indulgence of a loaded burger. The pilot across Mumbai and NCR is helping us understand the consumer response to the flavours that resonate the most with them. Our focus remains on expanding our offerings and bringing exciting food experiences to consumers across India.”
The flavour combinations range from the sweet and savoury notes of Teriyaki to the smoky profile of Chipotle and the sharper, more pronounced flavours of Hot Garlic. The concept builds on the appeal of familiar food formats while introducing new textures and internationally inspired flavour combinations.
Customers can order the Faasos Paratha Burger at a promotional price of ₹169. The launch also includes Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers and specially curated combos.
The introduction of the Paratha Burger adds another format to Faasos' menu innovation efforts, bringing together an Indian flatbread and the structure of a burger. The range also reflects the brand's approach of adapting familiar food experiences through new combinations of ingredients, textures and flavours.
