Native
About
Native Bangalore brings together South Indian heritage and modern culinary craft in a way that’s both rooted and refreshing. Located in Kalyan Nagar, the space is designed for those who seek authentic flavors, thoughtful plating, and a premium dining experience steeped in tradition. As their social media and content partners, we took on the responsibility of building a digital presence that reflects this exact balance. From aesthetic food photography and carefully composed reels to platform strategy and visual storytelling, we helped Native establish itself online as a contemporary Indian kitchen with deep cultural grounding. Through consistent visual identity and mood-led content, we turned Native’s Instagram into an elegant extension of its brand where every post reflects the richness of its cuisine and the warmth of its space.
