About Us
From Chennai Roots to Global Quick Service Excellence
From Home Cook to Quick Service Chef
I’m Santhosh, and when I was studying for my Master’s in Bioinformatics at Georgia Tech, I missed my mother’s home cooking. I found many Indian spots here served food that felt low quality or not fresh. I learned that not all chains in North America used real, healthy ingredients. My ancestors were farmers in South India, and I wanted to honor that tradition of good, honest food. That inspired me to start Kolapasi so everyone can enjoy quick, fresh meals made from scratch each day.
Fresh Indian Meals in Just Minutes
We wanted to redefine how people enjoy Indian food here. Our rule is simple: every meal is fast, fresh, and healthy. We use no MSG, no preservatives, and only halal meats and natural spices. Guests can see and sample dishes before choosing their meal. In under five minutes, a bowl loaded with slow-cooked curries, rice, or wraps is ready. You can build a bowl just for you with your favorite base, protein, and toppings. We have locations around the world serving millions of meals fresh daily.
Honoring Heritage Through Every Meal
My ancestors were farmers in South India. I honor their legacy by using natural ingredients and slow-cooking each curry daily so every dish feels honest and nourishing. Our STO approach lets you see and taste before choosing, ensuring you love your meal. We serve our bowls fast, in just minutes, so you never wait to enjoy real food. I’ve served over a million meals around the world but still believe each guest is family. I invite you to visit or order and feel that connection.
