Some meals are remembered not for their grandeur, but for the flavour they hold and the stories they tell. At the House of MG, dining indicates the very character of the mansion itself, that is, authentic, generous and subtly elegant. To sit in a courtyard or on a terrace here is to enjoy food that observes tradition while being presented with the finesse of a luxury home.
The restaurant’s signature thali captures the richness of Gujarati cuisine. Presented in traditional kansa or gleaming silverware, it is an elaborate spread of seasonal vegetables, slow-cooked dals, freshly made breads and delicate sweets. Each dish is steeped in the culinary traditions of the region, yet prepared with a refinement that appeals to modern sensibilities. It is less a collection of plates and more a carefully composed journey across flavours that have been cherished for generations.
The service enhances the experience. Attendants anticipate rather than interrupt, offering refills of favourites with unobtrusive grace. The pace is measured, inviting you to savour each flavour, each texture, each pairing, as though dining in the home of a host who is both proud and generous.
It is the kind of space that feels just right after a day exploring the city, or for a long conversation over a laid-back lunch. The ingredients of the meals are locally sourced, with an emphasis on freshness that gives every dish a brightness of flavour. Even the simplest of snacks feels elevated by the setting: tall trees providing shade, soft light filtering through, and the buzz of the city kept at bay by the walls of our heritage mansion.
What makes dining at the House of MG distinctive is that food is not an afterthought. It is an essential part of what it means to stay or visit here. Courtyards and terraces have always been central to family homes in Gujarat, places for gathering, eating and celebrating. To dine in these spaces today is to be welcomed into that flow of hospitality, but with the polish of contemporary service and comfort.
Meals here are designed not as displays but as experiences. They tell the story of this region through flavours, of a home through its spaces, and of a legacy through the care with which each detail is kept. It is this combination that gives the House of MG its character; the feeling that you are not simply a guest at a restaurant, but part of a heritage home that continues to live through its food.
At the House of MG, dining is both a pleasure and a privilege. Whether you choose the expansive thali on the terrace or a light meal in our courtyard café, you will find that each plate carries the zeal of tradition and the elegance of thoughtful hospitality.
Reserve your table with us and experience the House of MG way of dining.
