Maiyas Beverages & Foods Pvt. Ltd.

It all began with our founder father, Yajna Narayana Maiya, starting a restaurant in Bangalore. He fashioned his restaurant after the restaurants in Europe, high on standards and hygiene. His mission: to serve traditional food at its purest and most sumptuous.

For his restaurant, he would personally choose his ingredients directly from the market. He believed in zero wastage, so he made just enough food for every meal freshly, without over producing and serving it later. He also introduced a system wherein customers could scrutinize the kitchen anytime to satisfy themselves of its hygiene. His drive for holistic, healthy practices lead him to distribute small booklets on health, proper eating habits and recipes. The special flavours you enjoy at Maiyas can be credited to the authentic recipes of our founding father. Today, he is known as the inventor of Rava Idli.

When Dr. Sadananda Maiya started Maiyas, he drew upon his engineering skills to add to the values of the master cook that his father prove himself to be. As passionate about food as was his father, he delved deep into every aspect of gastronomy. His objective was to revive traditional food that he believed to be healthier and tastier. His strengths of being a cook and an engineer helped him in his quest to rediscover and recreate traditional food relevant for today's fast paced world. His commitment towards food is apparent from a mere conversation

We always believed in innovation to improve culinary experiences. During the 2nd World War, the usage of rice was banned in all the hotels. Items only made from Dal and Sooji were allowed. Yajna Narayana Maiya, our founder father experimented with Sooji to recreate the popular dish, idli. Thus the dish Rava Idli was born. It is a highly popular breakfast dish in Karnataka today.

Dr. Sadananda Maiya is highly passionate about the quality of the products he brings in to the market. Intensive research goes in to making the product so that it reaches you fresh every time, with the aid of world-class technology.

With his engineering skills, Dr. Sadananda Maiya has reprogrammed world-class machines to manufacture Indian traditional foods - like the doughnut machine that is modified to make crispy Koduboles within minutes. For the Frozen Foods range, Dr. Maiya has adopted spiral freezing technology that keeps the food fresh for long. Products made using nanotechnology need no cooking and can be consumed by just adding hot or cold water. In addition to using cholesterol-free oil to prepare products, our innovative technology extracts at least 30 per cent of the oil from the final product making it a healthier option. We use such technology optimally at every juncture of food production to bring alive the authentic traditional taste, with faster turnarounds.
