Mysore Café, a famous food spot in Mumbai, has been serving tasty South Indian dishes since 1936. While the café is well known, not many people know about the woman behind it and her special connection with India’s richest family, the Ambanis.
The Ambani family has been connected to Mysore Café for many years. When Mukesh Ambani was a college student at UDCT (now called ICT) from 1974 to 1979, he often visited local food places like this one. That special connection still continues today and every Sunday, food from Mysore Café is sent to the Ambanis’ home, Antilia.

At the recent grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, the Ambani family invited Shanteri Nayak, the former owner of Mysore Café. A video that went viral shows Anant introducing Radhika to Shanteri. Radhika warmly said, “Every Sunday, we enjoy your food at home.” Anant added, “It’s only because of you that we get to enjoy such delicious meals.”
Anand Piramal and Shloka Mehta were also there and greeted Shanteri during the sweet moment.
