Welcome to SV Cafe Where Tradition Meets Taste
Our Journey
From Humble Beginnings to a
Vibrant Cafe Experience
SV Cafe began as a humble dream in 2017, rooted in the rich culinary traditions of India. Inspired by the passion of its founder, a Hindu temple priest, the cafe was born to share the vibrant flavors and soulful dishes that define Indian cuisine.
What started as a small gathering place for the community quickly became a cherished hub where people come together to enjoy authentic vegetarian dishes, from crispy dosas to heartwarming thalis. Each dish is a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection.
Over the years, our cafe has grown, but our mission remains the same: to preserve the essence of Indian heritage while delighting our guests with innovative offerings. Today, we stand as a beacon of authenticity, a place where every bite tells a story and every meal brings people closer.

The Soulful Founders
Shri Satish Nenmali Seshadri
Who now runs a Gurukul in India, and Priest Manikandan Ji, whose devotion sparked the cafe’s beginnings, are the original founders who brought their dream of sharing vegetarian Indian cuisine to life.
SV Cafe is a reflection of my love for Indian culture, spirituality, and cuisine. When we founded this cafe, it wasn’t just about food; it was about preserving a legacy—a legacy of tradition, devotion, and the vibrant flavors that have been part of our lives for generations.
As I continue my work leading a Gurukul in Chennai, India, I am deeply grateful that a percentage of the cafe’s profits contribute to nurturing young minds and preserving our spiritual and cultural heritage. It brings me immense joy to know that every meal served at SV Cafe not only delights its guests but also helps sustain this mission.
My heartfelt thanks go to the dedicated team at SV Cafe who ensure that every dish remains true to its roots and to our guests who embrace and celebrate our culture through food. Together, we are keeping this beautiful legacy alive.
