This blog was inspired by a close friend of mine Jana who blogs about various restaurants and recipes she has encountered! She has taught me the importance of taking pictures of my food so I can share it with others! Check out http://thegourmetspork.blogspot.com (her blog) for recipes and great restaurant suggestions!
My first week in India (before I moved with my host family) we ate at many delicious restaurants. These restaurants served many dishes that are very rich and saucy (Foods served in restaurants are different than the daily food I eat with my host family)and although I thoroughly enjoyed them they sometimes did not sit well to an adjusting stomach. Towards the end of my first week our program director (Roma Ji) informed us we would be having a light lunch at a restaurant in Old City all the other interns and myself were more than delighted to hear the words light and lunch together in the same sentence. As we pile into an Auto Rickshaw towards Old City we end up at our destination, Millets of Mewar.
Millets of Mewar is Udaipur’s first dedicated health food restaurant. It opened in November 2011 and has since developed a regular and enthusiastic following. The restaurant is the shared vision of a group of like-minded friends—Surendra (Sunny) Gandharva, Anoop Singh Poonia, and Manoj and Nirmal Prajapat—who believe in the power of food to inspire good health, good conversation, and environmental consciousness. Just four months after opening, Millets of Mewar was ranked the #1 restaurant in Udaipur on Trip Advisor. Manoj and Sunny, Millets’ master chefs, began experimenting with health food in 2007 after receiving training at the Health Awareness Centre in Mumbai. Back in their hometown of Udaipur, they started creating recipes that highlighted local grains, vegetables, and spices. Encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response to their food, Manoj and Sunny started providing catering for events, attending food festivals, and running a food cart in the city twice a week. Soon after Millets of Mewar was born! Their methods are creative, authentic, and sustainable. Their ingredients are local, raw, vegan, gluten-free, and organic. Their food is unique, healthy, energizing, and made with love.
This restaurant is located in the Old City overlooking Lake Pichola. Millets of Mewar offers clean, wholesome, delicious food, as well as a ideal location to just hang out with friends or make new friends. I decided to Blog about this restaurant because every time I go I always thoroughly enjoy myself and as someone who enjoys a good salad (which Udaipur severely lacks) and healthy food I find solace in coming to Millets for those reasons. If you ever find yourself in Udaipur I strongly suggest you visit this restaurant and try anything on the menu they will not disappoint.
