Araku opened on 13 December 2023 on the ground floor of Sunny House on Mandlik Road, built in 1897 by the Nawab of Surat, which overlooked the Arabian Sea until the Taj Mahal Palace hotel went up in front of it.⁶ Its beans come from the Araku Valley in the Eastern Ghats, grown by tribal farmers across more than 60,000 small estates.⁶ The bar runs a Modbar, and the menu is split into "seriously" (espresso), "playful" (signature drinks) and "simply" (black coffee by your chosen method).¹
