Award-Winning Restaurateur Ankit Patel & Operator Sandeep Kintali Launch ST-UFF, Yolk Theory & South Coffee Bar in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD, India, 15th November, 2025: Stuffed Food LLP, a dynamic new player in India’s food and beverage sector, has officially launched its trio of innovative brands ST-UFF, Yolk Theory, and South Coffee Bar under one roof in Kondapur. Designed to make Indian food cool, creative, and convenient, this first-of-its-kind multi-brand destination brings modern innovation to everyday Indian favourites.
The venture is led by the synergy of Ankit Patel, the award-winning restaurateur behind celebrated brands like The Marich, and Sandeep Kintali, a seasoned operator with extensive expertise in hospitality and scalable restaurant formats. Together, they merge visionary creativity with operational excellence to offer a soulful, future-forward dining experience.
“We identified a gap in the market where quick-service options often compromise on health or authenticity,” said Ankit Patel, Founder. “With ST-UFF, Yolk Theory, and South Coffee Bar, we’re reinventing beloved staples while keeping flavours true to their roots. This is the future of Indian casual dining—creative, Instagram-worthy, and packed with flavour.”
A Trio of Bold New Concepts
ST-UFF:
Reimagining the humble idli, ST-UFF transforms it into a protein-rich, stuffed delicacy. Signature dishes include Chicken Keema Idli and Beetroot & Carrot Idli, offering a modern spin on South India’s favourite breakfast staple.
Yolk Theory:
A celebration of the egg as a gourmet ingredient, Yolk Theory’s menu features flavour-packed, street-style creations such as Egg Southern Sixty-Five and Nargisi Egg Kheema, turning simple eggs into inventive, satisfying meals.
South Coffee Bar:
Paying homage to South India’s iconic filter coffee culture, this coffee bar serves aromatic brews sourced directly from Chikmagalur. Popular offerings like Bellam Bliss and Madras Degree Filter Coffee deliver authentic, regional flavours in every cup.
Helmed by Chef Amar and his culinary team, the brands follow a unified philosophy of “Modern South Indian Fusion”, merging traditional techniques with global inspiration. The focus is on high-quality, traceable ingredients—idli batter sourced from a leading Hyderabad kitchen, and farm-fresh, locally produced eggs and vegetables.
The thoughtfully designed 64-seater space in Kondapur features warm tones, wooden textures, and an inviting ambience aligned with the brand’s ethos: “Modern. Soulful. Inventive.” A dedicated coffee bar offers guests a view of the authentic decoction brewing process, adding to the experience.
“Our ‘Guest First’ philosophy ensures fast, friendly service without compromising on the warmth and familiarity of a home-style meal,” said Sandeep Kintali, Co-Founder. “This space is built for the youth, professionals, and families of Hyderabad—a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy honest food.”
Positioned in the affordable casual dining segment (₹300–₹400 for two), the destination offers dine-in, takeaway, and delivery. Stuffed Food LLP has ambitious expansion plans, with a vision to open 50 outlets across South India and major metros within two years.
Beyond serving great food, Stuffed Food LLP aims to become a neighbourhood cornerstone by hosting community engagements and collaborating with local gyms and corporates to promote healthy, creative eating.
