Healthy dining hits Hyderabad
Arambam – Start with Millets by founders Pavan Kumar and actress Rakul Preet Singh, opened its doors
to Hyderabad in April. The vegetarian restaurant aims to reintroduce people to millets, and incorporate
it in their daily lives. As Pavan explains, “Making a meaningful impact on people’s eating habits begins
with tapping into what people eat daily.”
We enter the 1,500 sq.ft. space soaked in nature-inspired green with classical music playing. On the wall
is Arambam’s sun-inspired logo which describes every type of millet available at the restaurant. This
includes Kodo, Proso, Little, Banyard, Finger, Pearl, and Foxtail Millets.
Pavan recommends their healthy South Indian Executive Lunch. It plays out like a thali and includes Veg
Kurma and Millet-infused Lemon Rice, Sambar Rice, Curd Rice, Kheer, and multigrain ragi and jowar roti
- all rich in taste. Famished, we dive into our meal headfirst and even ask for seconds.
Along with the meal, we get a glass of delicious buttermilk, and the ever-so-soft Pot Junnu, made from
the first milk produced by a cow soon after it delivers a calf.
Moving forward, Arambam aims to make its philosophy known across the country. “By the end of this
year we plan to launch in Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai,” shares an excited Pavan.
