Nestled in the lively locale of MG Road, Bengaluru, there’s a new kid on the block for all you food lovers – LUPA. Brought to life by the renowned chef Manu Chandra and hospitality expert Chetan Rampal, this place is where classic European flavours shake hands with a modern twist.
LUPA, named after the legendary she-wolf from Roman mythology, mirrors the untameable spirit of its namesake. The ambience is a harmonious blend of a cozy outdoor area and a stylish indoor dining space. Imagine, if you will, stepping into a space that combines the relaxed vibes of a Tuscan country home with the elegance of a modern European café. Yeah, it's that inviting.
Now, let’s nibble on the food offerings, shall we? Helmed by Culinary Director Chef Prashanth Puttaswamy, LUPA presents a menu that’s as varied as it is delightful. Rooted in European traditions yet peppered with innovative touches, every dish is a dance of flavors. From the succulence of the Gambas Al Ajilo Fresh Jumbo Prawns to the zesty kick of Tuna Tataki, dining here is less of a meal and more of an experience.
The bar, oh the bar! It’s not just a place to grab a drink but a space where art and flavors mingle. Here, cocktails are not just mixed but crafted, with an array of wines and inventive concoctions that promise to tickle your taste buds in all the right places. It’s not about getting a quick drink but about savoring the symphony of flavors lovingly poured into every glass.
Manu Chandra is no stranger to the culinary scene. He’s the genius who brought gastropubs into the limelight and made gin the talk of the town. Together with Chetan Rampal, they’ve made LUPA a canvas where food and ambiance paint a picture of culinary artistry.
But don’t just take my word for it, step into LUPA and let the array of flavors do the talking. It’s a place where food, ambiance, and good company come together to write a story that’s best experienced firsthand. With a price tag that won’t cost a fortune. (cocktails start at ₹675!), it’s elegance, charm, and flavor bundled in a neat package, waiting to be unwrapped.
So, next time you’re in the neighborhood and your stomach grumbles for something extraordinary, you know where to head. LUPA is the crossroads where the vibrant vibes of Bengaluru blend with the classic elegance of Europe, served on a platter.

Kısır is a cherished dish from Turkey, woven deeply into the social and culinary fabric of the country. This zesty and vibrant salad, made primarily of fine bulgur wheat, is celebrated not only for its delightful taste but also for its simplicity and versatility.
Kısır’s roots are firmly planted in the southeastern regions of Turkey, particularly in cities like Gaziantep and Adana. With a history influenced by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it shares similarities with the Levantine tabbouleh but stands out due to its unique blend of ingredients and regional variations.
Traditionally, kısır is more than just food; it's a symbol of community. It often appears at social gatherings, from afternoon tea parties to family dinners, where it's served as part of a broader array of meze (appetizers). Its vibrant color and refreshing taste make it an especially popular choice during the spring and summer months when lighter, more refreshing dishes are preferred.
The base of kısır is fine bulgur, a type of cracked wheat that is both nutritious and filling. Unlike its coarser cousin used in pilafs, the fine bulgur is simply soaked rather than cooked, preserving its slightly chewy texture.
How to Make Traditional Kısır?

Instructions:
Psst! Additional Tips
If you prefer a more citrusy taste, add extra lemon juice. For a richer, slightly sweet flavor, increase the amount of pomegranate molasses. And, letting kısır rest in the refrigerator for an hour or so allows the flavors to meld together.
With its combination of hearty bulgur, bold seasonings, and fresh vegetables, it’s both satisfying and health-conscious. Moreover, kısır is vegan-friendly, making it suitable for diverse dietary preferences.
