Bengaluru: Mai Mai, a modern East Asian kitchen known for its intimate, storytelling-led dining experience, enters Chapter Two with its new space on MG Road. The new setting allows the brand to welcome more guests while retaining the warmth and familiarity that define it. With 35 covers across indoor and outdoor seating, the space feels more open and social, while holding on to its layered aesthetic. An open kitchen anchors the experience, with nearly half the space dedicated to it, bringing visibility, flow and a closer connection between the team and diners.
The menu introduces a selection of new dishes while continuing to serve favourites from the earlier chapter. Signatures like Korean Bibimbap, Egg-wrapped Fried Rice, and the Scotch-kissed Mousse remain central, alongside additions such as Juicy Steamed Mala Oil Wontons, Goguma Karaage, Char Sui Roast Pork, Ginger Scallion Steamed Fish, and Celery Chicken Stir Fry. Guests can also explore Sizzling Stone Bowls, including the Sizzling Oyako Donburi and Char Sui Roast Pork Noodles, as well as the Phuket Night Market Kale Fried Rice. The experience concludes with desserts like the Forest Cherry Rum Cake. These new additions will also be introduced at the Indiranagar outlet soon, extending the evolving menu across both spaces.
The beverage program, curated by Ganga Gahle, features a refined yet approachable mix of wine, sake, and soju-led cocktails, alongside a versatile sake selection. Highlights include the Mai Mai Picante, Golden Sakura Spritz, and Seoul Jasmine Iced Tea. The Zero-Proof Dry Bar further extends the experience with signatures such as the Picante, Yuzu Old Fashioned and Signature Salted Caramel Coffee offering a bold, smooth, and indulgent finish.
