Started by Kavan Kuttappa as a pop-up on the weekends, Naru is a speciality ramen bar that exists at the entrance of The Courtyard and feels like it belongs on a hidden Tokyo street. Seating a few with queues to hold, Naru has always seen itself busy every day since its opening as a pop-up, with a moving crowd of Bangalore’s freshest people.

The coming together of the warmest community space in The Courtyard and what's inarguably the best ramen bar in the city meant only one thing - the mood had to be absolutely right. With a vinyl selector set played by the crew at OTJF, featuring throwback tunes to stir with your ramen and bops to accompany the shots of sake, the music set the perfect mood to launch Naru in its final form at The Courtyard.
