An educationist at heart, Dr. Suresh Belliraj, by circumstances of fate, got the chance to run the family-run restaurant Odae based in the Riverside Retreat Community. During the pandemic, due to the entire family's inability to live without bread, Samyuktha and Suresh restarted Riverside Bakes initially set to supply the school. As a foodie, and experimental by nature, Dr. Suresh is currently enjoying his new avatar of managing Odae.
In order to popularise the stunningly located restaurant, Suresh has introduced a Badaga inspired meal that is served in the restaurant on prior order. Curated by his sister, Chitra Devaraj, and his mum, Meenakshi Belliraj, and assisted by the entire family, this spread has received a lot of love from those who have had the chance to sample it.
