Our Journey – The Story of Ninan’s Steakhouse
You are reading our journey.
Founded in 2022 by Kalaiselvi Manickaraj under Maple and Olive Foods Pvt Ltd, Ninan’s Steakhouse was built on passion, precision, and an uncompromising love for real food.
We asked ourselves a simple question what is the most timeless, healthy, and truly satisfying meal we can offer people?
The answer was clear.
Steak.
From the stone age to modern life, steak has always been a symbol of strength, nourishment, and honest eating. A meal that has stood the test of time powerful, pure, and complete. In that moment, our path was defined.
But Ninan’s did not begin as a restaurant.
It began in a humble home kitchen.
With limited resources but limitless belief, we started cooking, learning, and serving — one plate at a time.
What began as a personal dream slowly attracted people who believed in the same values.
A team was built. Not just staff, but people who carried the same fire, pride, and purpose.
Our first step into the world was JP Nagar, Bangalore the place where Ninan’s Steakhouse opened its doors to the public for the very first time.
From that single location, built with courage and sacrifice, Ninan’s began to grow.
Today,
Ninan’s Steakhouse proudly serves guests across 7 locations.
What started as a home kitchen is now becoming a name people trust, travel for, and remember.
