Our story
Route6 began in Japan with a group of Indian friends from different southern states, brought together by a shared love for South Indian food and the comfort of home.
What started as small meals among friends slowly grew into a place where the flavors of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana come together at one table, made with care and heart.
Every dish we serve carries a part of our story, and our mission is simple: to welcome every guest with warm hospitality and create a connection between India and Japan through food.
Ambience
Low amber light, brass accents, and linen that softens every edge — designed so the food always leads.
