The brand’s own site explains that Kiruthika and a team of professionally trained chefs manage the kitchens, focusing on heirloom recipes and regional South Indian dishes. Today, Hermit’s Zingiber operates three outlets across Bhubaneswar – Nayapalli, Patia (Aryapalli–KIIT Road) and Forest Park near Airport New Road – allowing diners in different parts of the city to experience its food.
Menu sections across the brand include starters, traditional specialties, uttapam, parathas, dosa varieties, idli varieties, appam, biryani, desi noodles, thalis, and even birthday and dry cakes, underlining a broad yet South‑India‑centric offering.
