Kamat's Third Generation Continues South Indian Food Legacy in Mumbai
Imagine a family that has been making delicious South Indian food for many years, starting with a small restaurant in the 1950s.
Now, the grandson of the founder, Vikram Kamat, is continuing this family tradition.
He noticed that people traveling on highways needed good food, so he started a chain of restaurants called Kamats.
Later, he created Kamats Legacy, a special restaurant in Mumbai that serves even more amazing South Indian dishes and feels like you're eating in a South Indian home.
He's using special ingredients, and now Vikram is planning to bring this great food experience to more cities!
Vikram Kamat, third-generation, is shaping the future of the Kamat legacy in Mumbai.
He launched highway-side eateries under the name Kamats in 2010 after recognizing a gap in the market.
Kamat's Legacy offers an elevated South Indian dining experience with an expanded menu and ambiance.
Kamats Legacy has opened in Nariman Point, Vashi, and Malad, offering authentic South Indian cuisine.
Vikram is planning to expand Kamats Legacy across India.
