A garden, then a kitchen, then everything else
Nandanvan means a heavenly garden. We started with a lawn and a tea counter in 1998 and added a kitchen every time someone asked us to feed their guests.
How we grew
The first booking on the lawn was a neighbour's engagement, catered by the family from a home kitchen. Guests asked where they could stay, so we opened Paradise Hotel and Lodging. They asked for something other than thali, so Paradise Restaurant came next, then Olivia when the children wanted pizza.
Nandanvan Restaurant and Nandanvan Stays followed as the campus filled out. Nothing here was planned on a whiteboard. Each piece exists because a guest standing in the car park asked for it.
Today the group employs around ninety people, many of whom joined in their twenties and are still here. We cook with the same suppliers we started with, and the owner is usually on the floor at dinner.
What we hold to
Vegetarian means vegetarian
Separate kitchen, separate utensils, separate staff. No shortcuts during a rush.
Quoted price is final
The banquet quote includes staff, cleaning and taxes. We do not add lines afterwards.
One person owns your booking
Whoever takes your call stays on your event until the last guest leaves.
Hold a date, or just ask
Call for a room, a table or a lawn and you will speak to someone who can actually confirm it. We answer between 8am and 11pm, every day.
