The House of MangoLeafHeritage cooking,
Heritage cooking,
elevated with intention.
MangoLeaf is a small, candlelit restaurant devoted to the regional cooking of South India, the coastal Chettinad, the temple kitchens of Tamil Nadu, the spice gardens of Kerala, the rice paddies of Andhra.
Every dish begins with whole spices, hand-ground masalas, and ingredients sourced with care. What arrives at the table is familiar in flavour, considered in form, South Indian cooking with the patience and refinement of a fine dining room.

The Feast
A table made for sharing
Pulled from our kitchen on a quiet afternoon, our spreads bring biryanis, curries, breads and fries to one long, candlelit table. Come hungry, stay late.
Join us for an evening,
stay for many.
Reservations are recommended. We hold a small number of walk-in seats at the bar each night.
