Radio Idli joins the Nayak Family in fondly and deeply remembering Shri Nagesh Nayak (7-FEB-1947  -  7-JAN-2008), son of Shri Rama Nayak, regarded as the Father of the Udupi Restaurant revolution in Mumbai. Continuing the legacy of his father, Nagesh-maam and the entire Nayak family has been deeply involved in serving our community on various fronts, and in bringing pride to our community through their great contribution in providing great Udupi food to Mumbai. 

“The strong kaapi, the soft neer dosa and the spicy rasam vada are still served with a smile. But the eyes are sad…… Hindustan Times “

Radio Idli relates itself closely with the Nayak family, with its name inspired by our favorite restaurant – Idli House, managed by Shri Satish Nayak, younger brother of Shri Nagesh Nayak. 

We join his family – Smt. Shanteri Nayak and his children Neha and Naresh, with sincere prayers.
