Our Story

Born in Manipal,
raised in Bengaluru

What started as the most popular student hangout in Manipal has grown into Bengaluru's most beloved retro American diner. GRUB MONKEYS isn't just a restaurant — it's a time machine to the golden age of American diners, dropped right into the heart of Karnataka.

Founded by Mueen Ahmed with an obsession for authentic 1950s and 60s culture, every outlet is designed to transport you: classic checkerboard floors, signature red booths, vintage wall art, and board games on every table. The food? Unapologetically heavy, indulgent, and built for the brave.

From late-night student cravings to family weekends, GRUB MONKEYS feeds the hunger that won't settle for ordinary.

The Experience

It's not just food.
It's a vibe.

🎵
Retro Soundtrack
Elvis, Chuck Berry, and the hits that defined an era play through every visit. The jukebox never sleeps.
🎲
Board Game Tables
Interactive board games at every table. Because great food deserves great company — and a little friendly competition.
🏁
Checkerboard Floors
Classic black-and-white checkerboard flooring, vintage walls, and signature red booths. Every detail is authentic.
🍔
Heavy Indulgence
Budget-friendly, no-compromises American comfort food. Leave pretension at the door and bring your appetite.
🧃
Thick Milkshakes
Extra-thick, premium, and poured with generosity. Shakes so good they started a conversation and kept it going.
🤝
Student DNA
Born as a student hangout in Manipal — the energy, the pricing, and the vibe still carry that original spirit.

I came across GRUB MONKEYS and absolutely loved the burgers. I usually struggle to finish even one burger, but I ended up finishing two! Very light, fresh ingredients. The PBJ thick shake was quite filling too. Would definitely visit again.

Great place to hangout with friends — pure vintage vibes. Their burgers and wings are a must try! Shoutout to the Carnivore Burger and Peri Peri Dry Wings. Loved the BerryCheesecake Thickshake as well.

Best place to get loaded French fries in B-Town. My recommendation: dirty fries and the PBJ shake. Budget-friendly with a great American fast food feel — prices are pretty cheap considering Bangalore standards.

Loved the food! Generous quantity and great flavours. The retro-style ambience with cushion seating adds to the charm. A stunning restaurant if one desires speciality fries and burgers — won't find it elsewhere.
