Studio project by Turnaround. Kori & Kane is an invented restaurant, and the tables here can't be booked.

Before you come

Do I need to book?: For dinner on Friday and Saturday, yes. Lunch is first come; most days there's a table within ten minutes.
Can you make it less hot?: Most dishes, yes: the masala is ground fresh each morning. The ghee roast can't go below hot without stopping being a ghee roast.
What's good for vegetarians?: The thali at lunch, neer dosa with vegetable gassi, goli baje and pundi. The vegetarian dishes are cooked in a separate pan.
Is the fish fresh?: It comes up from Mangaluru twice a week by bus. When the monsoon fishing ban is on, June to July, the fish dishes come off the menu.
Can we bring a group?: Up to 16 on the long table, booked a day ahead. For more, we close the room.
Do you deliver?: Not yet. Neer dosa goes soggy in a box in about ten minutes, and we'd rather you ate it here.
