On the first floor of the mall sit six kitchens that symbolise tectonic shifts in India’s hospitality industry.
Tucked in a lane off Whitefield Main Road, Bengaluru, the mall, HVP Aster’s entrance is dotted by mounds of cement and stone slabs. But walk to the first level, and the palette of construction grey gives way to industrial metal: it’s this 2700 sq ft space, shared between Grow Fit, Zippy, Frozen Bottle, Sharief Bhai, Yumlane, and Rice Bowl, that satiates rumbling stomachs within a four-kilometre radius.
The co-working kitchen space, a ‘pod’, is one of 12 Swiggy Access points in Bengaluru.
