Restaurant India News: Bengaluru Gets a Taste of Rustic Traditional Food With the Launch of Nati Republic

Nati Republic opens in Bengaluru, bringing the true flavours of Kannada villages, Nati Republic is creating a space to savour traditional favourites.

Drawing inspiration from Karnataka’s rustic Nati cuisine, this restaurant celebrates the rich, home-style flavours of the state’s villages. ‘Nati’ means local or native, and at the heart of this tradition is the famed Nati Koli—a countryside chicken variety—cooked with bold, hand-ground spices and time-honoured techniques. The menu revives age-old Kannada recipes, bringing authentic comfort food to the table.

For vegetarians, the Veg Thali offers a wholesome spread: Ragi Ball, Avarebele Kurma, Soppina Palya, Andhra-style Pappu, Steamed Rice, Rasam, Salad, Appala, and a sweet treat to end the meal.

Meat lovers will find the Nati Specials unmissable—Nati Koli Saaru, Chicken Chops, Mutton Chops, and Kheema Balls—alongside crowd-favourite starters like Tawa Chicken, Andhra Chilli Chicken, Boti Fry, Pudina Prawns, and Belluli Kebab. Robust chicken gravies, slow-cooked with freshly ground masalas, are best enjoyed with traditional Ragi Mudde or pillowy Neer Dosas.

Talking about the distinct menu, spokesperson Amit Singh Says, “Nati Republic is truly tied to the Nati way of life. We are not serving traditional dishes but creating memories from the countryside on your table. We wish to celebrate the spirit of eating together, discussing the flavours as every bite carries the unmistakable taste of home.”
