About

OUR STORY

AIYO! was founded in 2025 on a simple belief — great food, happy people, stronger communities. What began as our first outlet in Vijay Nagar, Indore has grown from a shared passion for bringing the authentic taste of South India closer to home. Every dosa, idli, uttapam, and cup of filter coffee is prepared using traditional recipes, premium ingredients, and the warmth of true hospitality.

Led by founders Mayank Mehta and Vaishali Nagpal, AIYO! runs on standardized recipes and operations, so every outlet delivers the same authentic taste and quality — whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. We believe great food is more than just a meal, it's an experience that brings people together.

Today, AIYO! stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, flavor, and the rich culinary heritage of South India — and we're just getting started. With plans to grow to 100 outlets across India by 2027, every bite tells a story of tradition, consistency, and where we're headed next.
