Mr. Rahul Lunawat: Founder of PHURR, Redefining Elevated Vegetarian Dining in India
Mr. Rahul Lunawat is a Bengaluru-based food entrepreneur and the visionary founder of PHURR—a vegetarian restaurant nestled in the heart of Jayanagar. With 8 years of experience in the food space and a deep understanding of the market, he recognized a glaring gap: the lack of high-quality, inventive vegetarian dining experiences. PHURR was born out of that insight—a place where comfort meets culinary innovation, and where vegetarian food is anything but predictable.
The name “PHURR” was conceptualized in 2020, to mark the spirit of taking off, rising, and soaring. True to its name, PHURR embodies that feeling of levity, elegance, and joy. After a three-year journey, he found the perfect space in Jayanagar to bring the dream to life.
From day one, PHURR has been fully booked—a testament to the brand’s magnetic pull and word-of-mouth buzz. With a menu drafted by one of the best food consultants. a mocktail bar menu by one of the best bartenders in India and the space designed by the country’s most renowned architectural firm, the restaurant offers an immersive dining experience where every corner is filled with art, comfort, and charm. Guests first dine with their eyes, guided by a visually rich, pictorial menu. What follows is a celebration of flavours—signature dishes, inventive mocktails, and options for vegan and Jain diners, all crafted with fresh, sustainable ingredients.
Today, PHURR is widely regarded as a trailblazer in Bangalore’s vegetarian dining scene. Its runaway success has set a new benchmark for what vegetarian cuisine can be and inspired a wave of new-age vegetarian brands across the city.
PHURR isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a movement. A space to rise, to float, to experience food that truly takes you places and they have managed to do all this while being truly vegetarian.
