Who We Are

Built by Gamers,
Run by Food Lovers

FrameUp Café was founded in 2019 on one simple belief: the best gaming experiences happen when you're well-fed, comfortable, and surrounded by great people.

Our founders — Siddharth Nair and Priya Krishnamurthy — were tired of choosing between a decent meal and a quality gaming session. They set out to create a space where both could coexist at a premium level.

Today, FrameUp Café is Bangalore's most awarded gaming café, recognised for its FSSAI-certified kitchen, state-of-the-art hardware, and the community it has built across Indiranagar and beyond.

Values

What We Stand For

Food First

60% of what we do is food. Every dish is crafted by our kitchen team with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

No Compromises on Hardware

RTX 4090 or nothing. We refuse to offer a mediocre gaming experience. Every station is serviced monthly.

Community Over Competition

While we run tournaments, we welcome casual players just as warmly. Everyone belongs at FrameUp.

Safety & Cleanliness

FSSAI certified. Every station, peripheral, and surface is sanitised after every session. No exceptions.

Sustainability

Locally sourced produce, recyclable packaging, and energy-efficient hardware. We game responsibly.

Premium Always

From the chair you sit in to the last bite of dessert — every detail at FrameUp is designed to impress.
