The beverages seat at RASA runs filter coffee brewed in filters, masala chai, an espresso bar, mocktail and fresh-juice counters, and the Bangalore high tea — Iyengar-Bakery-style khara bun, dil pasand, veg puffs, sandwiches, scones and a cake table. A high tea in Bangalore runs about ₹250–₹500 a head in 2026; a coffee bar added to an event is ₹60–₹150 a head.
The seat
The beverages chef makes filter coffee the way the city expects it — decoction, chicory in the Bangalore proportion, milk boiled — and treats an espresso bar as a separate discipline with its own barista.
Bangalore takes its coffee more seriously than any other city in the country, and a wedding that serves it from an urn has lost the elders before the meal. The beverages seat brews filter coffee in filters at the counter, and runs an espresso bar with a barista for the crowd that wants it. The high tea — the Bangalore-bakery table of khara buns, dil pasand and puffs — is the seat's other Bangalore speciality, for a reception tea, a corporate afternoon or a house-warming.

Build a Beverages & High Tea menu with the chef
Date, head count, the cuisines you have in mind. Enough for the first reply to carry a menu and a number rather than a brochure.
What happens after you send the ticket
- A written reply, usually the same day. A first menu built for your occasion, the per-plate figure it comes to, and the two or three questions we need settled before the number is firm.
- A tasting. For weddings and events of size we cook the shortlist for you before you sign. Each cuisine on the menu is cooked by the chef who will cook it on the day.
- The plan for the day. Counters, service staff, timings against your muhurtham or your agenda, and the venue's rules on outside catering, checked with the venue by us.
