Our Story
A man travels the world in search of what he needs and comes home to find it!
George Moore
Anyone living alone always yearns for that comfort food made by their mothers and grandmothers from their home kitchens. In the kitchens of India, traditional cuisine has been handed down through generations and culture has been sustained.
Santhosh problem solving mind got to work and he along with couple of his close friends Adithya and Padmanabhan came up with an idea for a brand that was accessible for people without any of the extra fills.
The Beginning…
An idea that took seed in the mind of founder Santosh Muruganantham almost a decade ago, has now flourished into a hugely successful chain of takeaway restaurants that deliver on their promise of homely meals that don’t compromise on taste.
Food that not only tastes good, but DOES good
We like food that tastes good, but we love food that does good — meals that transcend the plate and change our world for the better. With ‘kolapasi’, we set out to reframe the way we think about being a socially responsible organization. We strive to build an all exclusive kitchen by hiring transgender staff and making water free and accessible for all.

Kolapasi - The Story
The story of Kolapasi started with one man’s hunger to solve a problem. When Santhosh Muruganantham, returned from the US he craved warm, homely, yummy food that would satiate his hunger. But with both him and his wife working, this kind of food was hard to find. Regular restaurants did not satisfy this craving. Santosh’s problem-solving mind got to work and he came up with an idea for a brand that was accessible for people without any of the extra frills. With a simple delivery and takeaway menu that doesn’t compromise on quality, and meals that satiated everyone’s craving – Kolapasi was born.

From providing food during the flood relief efforts, to feeding protesters who were fighting to lift the ban on Jallikattu On Marina beach, we aim to give back in small ways whenever we can.
Partner with us

dish is dispatched from a centralized kitchen and only needs to be seasoned at each outlet,
thus ensuring consistency in the taste of all dishes across all outlets.
