Garuda Mall Mysore: Location, Shops, Food, How To Reach

Garuda Mall Mysore is one of the most significant and well-established shopping malls in South Karnataka — bringing world-class organised retail to Mysore, the heritage city that is Karnataka’s second-largest urban centre and one of India’s most visited tourist destinations. Located in the Ashoka Nagar area near KR Circle — one of Mysore’s most central and accessible commercial locations — Garuda Mall Mysore opened in 2013 and has served as the city’s most comprehensive retail and entertainment destination ever since.

Mysore — the City of Palaces — is celebrated for its magnificent Mysore Palace, its Dasara festival (one of India’s most spectacular celebrations), its rich silk weaving tradition, its sandalwood crafts, and its cultural heritage. Against this backdrop of tradition and elegance, Garuda Mall Mysore brings contemporary organised retail — filling a gap that had previously sent Mysore’s brand-aware, affluent consumer base to Bangalore for premium shopping.

Spread across 75,000 sq metres including over 26,000 sq metres of shopping and entertainment space, Garuda Mall Mysore has five floors and over 120 stores across national and international brand categories. The mall includes an INOX multiplex with 5 screens and 1,150 seats, the Amoeba gaming and entertainment zone, five exclusive restaurants, and a top-floor food court — creating a genuinely complete destination mall experience.
