Draavin Canteen, the much-loved South Indian eatery founded by chef patron Ruchira Hoon, has opened its doors in Gurugram, marking a new phase of growth and identity. Formerly known as Dakshin Canteen in South Delhi, the restaurant has been reimagined under the name Draavin—drawn from the Sanskrit root “drav,” meaning to flow and move.

The name symbolises rivers, spice routes, and the abundance of the Dravidian south, while also reflecting the restaurant’s own journey of expansion. Speaking about the new identity, Hoon said, “Draavin is more than just a name, it is a philosophy. It celebrates prosperity, generosity, and the joy of shared meals. Expanding from South Delhi to Gurgaon is about continuing that flow, reaching more people, and sharing the soul of the south with new audiences.”

At its Gurugram location, Draavin Canteen stays true to its roots while expanding its offerings. The menu showcases diverse cuisines from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Malabar, Lakshadweep, and Sri Lanka. Diners can look forward to Chettinad curries, Kerala-style stews, coastal seafood, fiery Andhra specialties, and Sri Lankan flavours. Complementing the food are spice-forward beverages and tropical-inspired drinks.

The interiors also tell a story, designed with earthy tones, natural textures, and cultural motifs that echo the spirit of the south while fitting into a contemporary setting. The space is warm and soulful, inviting guests to experience comfort and abundance through food and atmosphere.

With this opening, Draavin Canteen evolves from a beloved neighbourhood kitchen into a growing brand that celebrates the culinary heritage and cultural richness of the Dravidian south across multiple destinations.

Bengaluru is gearing up for Oktoberfest 2025, and the city’s beer lovers have plenty to look forward to. This year, three venues, Gladia Brewery & Kitchen, Chin Lung, and Amicii are taking the Bavarian spirit and adding their own flavour to it. Expect freshly brewed beers, indulgent menus, and festive settings that recreate the energy of Munich’s world-famous celebration right here at home.

Gladia Brewery & Kitchen: A Taste of Bavaria in the City

From late September to early October, Gladia Brewery & Kitchen is turning into a Bavarian-style beer haven. The highlight is their limited-edition Märzen—a German Lager with a warm copper finish, toasty aroma, and balanced malt profile (6% ABV, 22 IBU). Paired with German sausages, oven-fresh pretzels, and the signature Hummingbird Cake, it’s a menu built for indulgence. Add to that the traditional blue-and-white décor and buzzing atmosphere, and it feels like a slice of Munich in Bengaluru.  Reservations: 063646 51167.

Chin Lung: Brewing Legacy Meets Festive Cheer

One of Bengaluru’s oldest brewing names, Chin Lung is adding Oktoberfest flair across its Indiranagar and Marathahalli outlets. From October onwards, visitors can enjoy specially brewed Oktoberfest pints. With over six decades of brewing heritage, Chin Lung blends Bavarian fest vibes with its signature IPAs and Asian-inspired brews. The beer garden-style setting at Marathahalli promises a lively evening out with friends. Reservations available via website, Zomato, or Swiggy Dineout.

Their curated menu includes Avocado & Cream Cheese Croquettes, Mini Samosa Sliders, Mutton Sukha, Tandoori Sausages, Sticky Bacon-Wrapped Sausages, and a Coorg-style Pandi Fry. With small-batch Oktoberfest brews to match, it’s a feast designed for sharing. Reservations: 091481 52787.
