Inspiration

"Vidyarthi Bhavan is a piece of Bengaluru's culinary history, where time and tradition stand still, attracting people from all walks of life."

The Udhayum Cafe is built on the foundation of two key inspirations: the legendary Vidyarthi Bhavan, a beacon of South Indian culinary excellence since 1943, adapting their time-honored principles to a modern QSR setting. We are also driven by our tagline, 'tastefully crafted Telugu tradition,' ensuring that every dish celebrates the unique flavors of our region. From using the freshest ingredients and authentic recipes to maintaining the highest hygiene standards, we uphold the values of both our inspirations. We are committed to making this premium experience accessible to all through well-curated pricing.
