About Millets of Mewar - India's First Millet-Based Restaurant in Udaipur
Reviving India’s ancient millets and transforming them into unforgettable healthy dining experiences in Udaipur.
Founded on October 2, 2011, by Sunny and Manoj, Millets of Mewar is India’s first and oldest millet-based restaurant. It was created with a simple but powerful idea — to bring people back to the wisdom of traditional, natural food and healthier eating habits.
What started in Udaipur as a small step toward awareness has now grown into a well-known name across India. Today, Millets of Mewar is recognized for blending health, heritage, and sustainability in a way that feels both meaningful and enjoyable. It has even been ranked among the Top 10 Healthiest Restaurants in India by India Today.
At the heart of everything we do is the belief — “Jaso Ann Vaso Mann”, a Mewari saying that means “We are what we eat.” This thought guides us to see food not just as something we eat, but as something that affects our health, our mindset, and even the planet.
Today, Millets of Mewar proudly welcomes guests from across India and around the world who are looking for authentic Rajasthani cuisine, wholesome millet-based meals, and a unique dining experience in the heart of Udaipur. From health-conscious diners to travellers exploring Jagdish Temple, City Palace, and Lake Pichola, our restaurant has become a destination where traditional flavours meet mindful eating.
Our Mission
Our Story : From Awareness to Action
Before starting Millets of Mewar, Sunny and Manoj worked closely with local communities to spread awareness about healthy eating and simple living. Over time, they noticed a growing gap between people and traditional food habits.
This inspired them to take action and create something real: a place where millet-based food is not only served but celebrated. What began with small community events, food gatherings, and learning sessions slowly turned into a restaurant that promotes awareness through food itself.
At Millets of Mewar, food is more than a meal. It is a way to share knowledge, culture, and values, all served on a plate.
Over the years, thousands of guests, nutrition enthusiasts, chefs, and travellers have experienced our approach to wholesome dining in Udaipur. Their continued support has helped Millets of Mewar become one of India’s most recognised millet-based restaurants, known for celebrating Rajasthan’s culinary heritage through healthy, sustainable food.
