About Us
Serving delicious vegetarian food since 1962
The Gokul Oottupura
We started our journey in 1962 as a small vegetarian eatery near Ernakulam Shiva Temple, when our founder, Gopalakrishna Rao, moved to Kochi from Udupi. His son, Mohan Rao, took over the business in the late 1970s, and built a brand with a strong reputation for offering quality food. The brand was fast becoming one of Kochi’s favourite eateries. On his passing, the baton was passed to his sons, Ravishankar and Gopal, who have helped the brand mark its presence across the city. They have established Gokul Oottupura as a professionally-run local chain of restaurants, known for delivering consistency, quality and trust.
