Total Environment loves creating experiences that evoke emotions and touch the senses. Rich, colorful, vibrant, and intricate experiences that have depth and character and are created with passion, commitment and sensitivity.
The inspiration comes from nature and from the arts and crafts and the deep rooted cultural heritage of our beautiful planet earth.
In Kannada, ‘Oota aita?’ (Have you eaten?) is more than a customary greeting – it’s an ice breaker between strangers, a query of genuine concern and symbolic of the warm hospitable nature of the people of Karnataka.
This bean-shaped land is host to several communities, each with its own distinct culture and cuisine. Oota, a Karnataka-themed restaurant, journeys through this vast array of food and is a tribute to this culinary diversity. Curating little known as well as popular dishes from various circuits – South Karnataka, the Canara coast, the Western Ghats, the Deccan tract of North Karnataka and the borderlands of the Hyderabad-Karnataka region – Total Environment presents Karnataka on a platter.
Over 350 dishes were cooked, while visiting legendary restaurants, hole-in-the-wall eateries, temple kitchens, roadside shacks and homes of people from nearly 25 communities – Kodavas, Bunts, Gowdas, Lingayats, Bearys, Mangalore Catholic, Saraswat Brahmins, GSBs, Siddis, Reddys, Sauji, Konkanis, Navayaths, Jains and Halakki to name a few.
Across 2 years and various seasons, diverse regions were covered – from Coorg to Malnad, Western Ghats, Mangalore, Uttar Kannada, North Canara Coast, Hyderabad-Karnataka region, North Karnataka, Mysore, Bangalore and South Karnataka- to design a menu consisting of Karnataka’s culinary wonders.
So, guests can sit back and sample the rotational menu as the team takes them on a gastronomical adventure through Karnataka. From soups, coolers and tambullis to chutneys, pudis and pajjis, from salads and starters to rice, ragi, jowar, godi and desserts to everything in between.
