🌿 Why Kodava Kutumba exists

You can't swipe your way back home.

You moved to Bengaluru. Three years later, you've met exactly four other Kodavas. At weddings. Briefly. The version of you that's actually happy isn't on an app — it's at a table with people who pronounce Madikeri correctly and know what pandi curry is supposed to taste like.

So we built this: one table a month, 6-8 Kodavas, matched by personality not by ainmane. No explaining your last name, no "wait, where is Coorg?" Just people who already get it.

☕ No profiles

No photo, no bio to curate. You answer eight questions once. The night is the introduction.

🍃 No swiping

We pick the table. You just show up. Nobody's scrolling through people who don't know what Puthari means.

🌾 No commitment

Cancel anytime, skip a month, say no to a table. This is dinner with your people, not a wedding invitation.

☕ How it works

Three steps. One table.

We removed everything that makes meeting people exhausting.

Step 01

Take the vibe quiz

Eight quick questions. Three minutes. We verify your Coorg connection before your first table.

Step 02

Get the Wednesday link

Every Wednesday we WhatsApp you a link. Pick one weekend this month that suits you — neighbourhood, Saturday or Sunday, time.

Step 03

Show up

Thursday we confirm: 6-8 people, restaurant, time. Come alone. No exceptions. ₹500 of your bill is already covered.

Your table

6-8 Kodavas. One evening.

Matched by vibe, seated by personality. Here's what a table looks like.

Every seat a different personality.
✓ Safety first

Dinner with strangers should feel exciting, not risky.

Verified members, vetted venues, fast action.

Coorg connection verified

Every member confirms their Coorg connection. Closed circle by design.

Government ID required

Checked once before your first table — we view it, we don't store it. No anonymous strangers.

Public venues only

Vetted restaurants. Never a private address.

Women's safety priority

We never seat a woman as the only woman at a table. Your confirmation includes a WhatsApp support number that's answered all evening.

One text and we act

Uncomfortable? Text us and leave. We remove people fast — no second chances.

🌿 Founding tables

Founding tables open soon.

We're seating the first 48 Kodavas in Bengaluru. No reviews yet — just an honest promise to make the first tables good.

48 founding seats

Six to eight tables to start. Small enough that we read every answer and build every table by hand.

First pick of weekends

Founding members get the Wednesday link first, so you choose your weekend and neighbourhood before anyone else.

You shape the club

Rate each dinner. We read every rating and change venues, matching and rules based on what you tell us.

🎯 How we match tables

A human builds every table.

No algorithm. A real person reads your eight answers and builds the table by hand. We're looking for tension, not consensus — the best tables have someone who'll push back.

Energy level

Front row at a gig, or alone with a podcast? We balance the extroverts and the listeners so the table doesn't tilt.

Conversational depth

Some people want to argue about food for an hour. Some want to hear about your weird side project. We match for range.

Openness to randomness

Do you book or do you wing it? Tables need both — the planners and the "let's just see" people.

Sense of humor

Dry wit, loud laughs, quiet observers. Humor is half the vibe, we balance for it.

Your weekly preferences

You pick neighbourhood and day/time every Wednesday. We match the table to what you actually said yes to that week.

Life stage

Late twenties to early forties, mostly. We avoid seating someone fresh out of college with someone raising three kids.

📋 The rules

Simple expectations. No surprises.

We keep it simple. Here's what we expect, and what you can expect from us.

💳 ₹500 of your bill is on us

Half your membership comes back as dining credit. The restaurant takes ₹500 off your share of the bill. Anything above that, you pay. No cash, no carry-over — it's for the dinner you attend.

⏰ Show up on time, or don't show up

We confirm your table Thursday evening. If you say yes, be there at your confirmed time. Can't make it? Tell us by Friday noon. No-shows lose that month's ₹500 credit, get one warning, then suspension.

🚶 Come alone

No plus-ones. No "my friend is also Kodava." The whole point is meeting new people. If your friend wants to join, they sign up separately — and we'll never seat you together.

✨ Make real connections

Build authentic relationships. Whether it's a new friend, a professional connection, or someone who gets your journey — be genuine. Exchange numbers, connect on LinkedIn, share what you're working on. Just be yourself.

🛡️ Be kind, or be gone

Harassment, aggression, or making anyone uncomfortable = immediate suspension. No second chances. If someone's being inappropriate, leave and text us. We act fast.

🚪 Leave if it's not working

Sometimes the vibe's just off. You can leave whenever. Tell us afterward. We'll re-seat you next month at no extra cost. No guilt, no questions.

That's it. No hidden rules, no fine print. Just show up, be kind, and enjoy the table.

❓ Common questions

Everything you're wondering.

Who can join?

This is exclusively for people from Coorg (Kodavas) living in Bengaluru. You confirm your Coorg connection when you sign up — could be you grew up there, your family's from there, or you have close ties. We verify before your first table. Members are 21+, mostly late 20s to early 40s.

How much does it cost, and how does billing work?

₹999/month — and ₹500 of it comes back as dining credit at your table, so the club itself effectively costs ₹499. You're charged at the start of each billing month. Skip a month and you're still charged; that month's credit is lost. Cancel anytime, no lock-in — cancelling stops the next charge. Full details in Billing & refunds.

How does the ₹500 dining credit work?

When you attend your table, the restaurant takes ₹500 off your share of the bill. We settle it with them directly — no codes, no reimbursement forms. Order more than ₹500? You pay the difference. Order less? The rest doesn't carry over or turn into cash. Don't show up? No credit that month.

How does the Saturday/Sunday selection work?

One dinner a month, on a weekend that suits you. Every Wednesday we WhatsApp you a link for that weekend — pick your neighbourhoods, Saturday or Sunday, and times. Say yes to any one weekend in the month and we seat you. Busy that week? Ignore the link; the next one comes the following Wednesday.

How soon after joining do I get a table?

Usually within two weeks, sometimes the first weekend. It depends on how many people in your area selected the same day/time that week.

Is this a dating thing?

No. It's a friendship club. If something else happens, great. But we're not matching for that and the vibe at the table reflects it.

What if the table is awkward?

Sometimes it is. Most times it isn't. Rate the evening honestly afterward — if it was genuinely off, we'll re-seat you at no extra cost. We're confident in our matching, not delusional about it.

Why only Coorg people?

Because there's a shared context that makes the first conversation easier. You're not explaining where you're from or how to pronounce your last name. You just start three layers deeper.

What happens at the table?

You show up. 6-8 Kodavas, all from Coorg, one restaurant. No host, no moderator — just the 6-8 of you. The conversation finds its own rhythm. Most tables run past 10 PM. Some turn into standing monthly dinners. We can't script it.

Your table is waiting.

One dinner a month. 6-8 people you haven't met. The kind of evening you'd never have planned.
