In the fields of Andhra Pradesh, the journey of the Devarsetty family unfolded. Devarsetty Venkatapathi Setty and his wife, Adilakshamma, grasped the inseparable connection between life and its challenges. Amidst the daily struggle for three meals,
Adilakshamma’s home-cooked dishes became a reassuring reminder that everything would be alright. Inspired by the flavorful Miripudi Chutney carried by farmers to the fields, the Devarsetty family embraced this culinary tradition. The chutney, symbolising resilience and community, became a daily ritual—a nod to the rich cultural heritage of Andhra Pradesh. From Fields to Dubai: Devaras’ Global Debut With the patriarch’s blessings, the journey of Devaras commenced. Beyond being just a restaurant, it stood as a tribute to Devarsetty Venkatapathi Setty’s resilience and the shared love for dosa and Miripudi Chutney that he wished to spread worldwide. Taking the flavors beyond borders, Devaras made its global debut in Dubai in September 2023. These beloved dishes – Pongal, Curd Kodabale, and Miripudi Dosa – have not only become local favorites but a morning ritual for some, transforming the Dubai community into dedicated fans. It is often said that breakfast is the best meal of the day, and at Devaras, this sentiment holds true.
Now, Devaras is set to create another culinary haven in the heart of Bengaluru, close to Orion mall. Vishal Pathi, Founder of Devaras says, “Our 3000 sq ft space is more than an outlet; it’s a haven where we share the love and warmth experienced by the Devarsetty family—a place that instantly feels like home. The decor reflects a serene blend of minimalistic elegance, featuring hand-painted walls adorned with temples, peacocks, elephants, and nature—an homage to our family’s rich roots”. With Devaras, South Indian cuisine becomes not just a trendsetter but a delightful dining experience, merging luxury with affordability for everyone, catering to every budget and redefining the way people perceive and enjoy food. At the core of Devaras is the desire for guests to experience the same warmth that was felt by the Devaras family during their home-cooked meals. With a meticulously curated menu, featuring culinary gems like the refreshing Avakai Rice with raw mango, the rich Ghee Gongura Rice, the zesty Miripudi Dosa and the flavorful Podi Idli, Devaras is set to delight Bangaloreans. Crafted with a personal touch by the founder’s mother, these dishes carry an authentic taste that sets Devaras apart.
