Every story has a beginning — and ours began not in a boardroom, but in a small classroom in Sindhanur.
Two school friends, Akshatha and Sharan Hosamani, grew up sharing lunch boxes, laughter, and dreams. What connected them most wasn’t just friendship — it was a shared love for home-cooked food, banana leaf meals, and the simple joy of eating together the way our grandparents once did — naturally and with gratitude.

Years later, as life took them on different paths, one conversation over tea brought back those memories.
They remembered how every meal on a banana leaf felt like a celebration — how the aroma of hot sambar mixed with steamed rice carried not just flavor, but love. They wanted others to feel that same warmth — to bring back the lost touch of desi hospitality, eco-conscious living, and authentic taste.

That’s how Bale Ele Café was born — a heartfelt dream rooted in friendship, nostalgia, and sustainability.
Every dish here is served with a promise — to nourish not just your body, but your heart. From using natural plates, cups, and spoons, to ensuring every element is eco-friendly and biodegradable, Bale Ele Café is more than a café — it’s a movement towards mindful dining.

Through every banana leaf, every freshly cooked meal, and every smile we serve, we carry forward the spirit of Sindhanur — simple, honest, and full of heart.

Because for Akshatha and Sharan, Bale Ele Café isn’t just about food —
It’s about preserving our roots, celebrating friendship, and serving memories — one banana leaf at a time. 🌿💛
