A new Mexican culinary gem has arrived in Bengaluru, and it’s already making waves. Cormal, located at the former Big Kids Kemp spot in IRamanashree Arcade on MG Road, is a celebration of Mexico’s vibrant flavors and culture.
A Mexican Culinary Journey
Cormal is the brainchild of Chef Varun Pereira and entrepreneur Pratheek K.R., inspired by an in-depth exploration of Mexico’s culinary heartland. Chef Varun’s extensive road trip through Mexico shaped both the restaurant’s menu and its unique design.
The Aesthetic: A Glimpse of Old-World Mexico
The restaurant’s design is the work of architect Pronoti Chabbi of Studio Grain, who transformed the space into a warm and eclectic cantina. The space is a visual feast, featuring:
A cactus-lit facade that captures the essence of the Mexican landscape
A bold cerulean doorway that invites you in
Intricately crafted Talavera tiles adding authenticity
Mismatched decor, from distressed green walls to diverse seating styles, all evoking the charm of old-world Mexico
An open kitchen, designed to evoke the feel of a Mexican grandmother’s home, brings diners closer to the heart of the action. The chef’s counter offers guests a front-row seat to the culinary magic as it unfolds.
A Flavorful Exploration of Mexican Cuisine
Cormal’s menu is a tribute to Mexico’s rich culinary heritage, with signature dishes like:
- Aguachile Tostada Mixto
- Carne Asada
- Crispy Churros
- And more delicious offerings to explore!
To complement the meal, enjoy a refreshing horchata or dip into a bowl of fresh guacamole paired with crispy chips—perfect for setting the tone for an indulgent feast.
