Rameshwaram Cafe announces expansion in North India, Dubai outlet planned for next year

South Indian eatery Rameshwaram Cafe plans to expand into north Indian markets including Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Gujarat, said Divya Raghavendra Rao, co-founder and managing director. Rao announced the expansion plans during the opening of the cafe’s new store in Indira Nagar.

The company had earlier announced plans to enter the Hyderabad market and currently operates an outlet in Madhapur. By 2025, Rameshwaram Cafe plans to establish additional stores in Hyderabad. “We plan to add one or two more locations in Hyderabad next year. Besides, we currently have no plans to expand to Kerala or Chennai,” she stated.

Currently, the Bengaluru-based eatery has outlets in Indira Nagar, JP Nagar, Brookfield and Rajaji Nagar. The new location at 100 Feet Road, Indira Nagar marks its fifth branch in Bengaluru as the cafe will also open a branch at the Bengaluru International Airport.

The new Indira Nagar store is designed to accommodate an extensive menu and seating for up to 400 guests, increasing the café’s capacity and offering. Rao also confirmed the café’s international expansion timeline, with its first overseas store in Dubai expected to open in the second half of next year.

Commenting on the recent incident at the Brookfield branch, Rao acknowledged that while the explosion temporarily affected sales, the overall impact was minimal. “The explosion briefly affected sales, but business has gradually recovered,” she noted.
