About Kesariya:

Kesariya, Bangalore’s first Shekhawat restaurant, is an ode to the rich tradition of Shekhawati and its cuisine. Staying true to the famous marwari code of hospitality, Kesariya treats each guest with equal attention, serving some of the most popular dishes, featuring along with specialties that one would not find easily outside of Shekhawati. The restaurant kitchen is being led by a third generation maharaj, assisted by cooks, from the region itself.

Ingredients such as saffron, dry fruits, jaggery, ghee and other dairy products, bajra, are used frequently in the cuisine. And while the curries are quite rich, primarily due to the use of nuts such as almonds and pistachios), the flavours are subtle and not as spicy as some other parts of Rajasthan.

An a la carte menu can rarely give a diner the true experience of a cuisine that is so nihe. Therefore, the food here is served as a thali. This will allow the guest to come as close to a real Shekhawati experience as possible. Nearly 25 dishes, including staples and other accompaniments, is served course by course, in specially made silverware, making it almost a royal meal. In fact, Kesariya is one of the only restaurants in the city that serves food in silverware, a traditional practice in the havelis of Shekhawati.

It’s common knowledge that food is one of the best routes when it comes to understanding the culture of a place, and its people. From hand-ground masalas, to specially sourced ingredients from Rajasthan, the basic idea of Kesariya is to bring a slice of Shekhawati right into the heart of Bangalore, and they do just that.
