  "summary": "Singer and composer Shankar Mahadevan has opened a South Indian restaurant brand, Malgudi, in Delhi at Rajouri Garden. The minimalist restaurant features a traditional wooden swing and offers a fusion of regional dishes with a contemporary twist. The vegetarian resto-café, co-founded by Mahadevan and entrepreneur K.S. Ramakrishnan, has a price range of approximately ₹1,200- ₹1,900 for a meal for two. Malgudi's menu includes familiar South Indian dishes such as thatte idlis, rasam mini idlis, curd rice, and uthappam, as well as fusion options like podi cheese balls, Anna-style crispy lotus root, and butter pepper garlic water chestnuts. The restaurant's filter kaapi barista counter offers traditional South Indian brew with a twist, such as jaggery. Malgudi's entry into Delhi's South Indian dining scene could appeal to families and groups, but its ability to attract repeat customers will depend on how its food, service, and overall experience compare with established competitors.",
