MAYFAIR EXPERIENCE
Chhattisgarh's rice mostly reaches the plate as flour: angakar roti baked between leaves, farra steamed and tempered, chila poured thin, bafauri steamed rather than fried. It is patient, quiet cooking. Nakli Dhaba takes the other road, dals cooked overnight and breads from the tandoor served with a wink, and on a Saturday, when it is the hardest table in Raipur, the whole room hums.Chhattisgarh's rice mostly reaches the plate as flour: angakar roti baked between leaves, chila poured thin.

Every exceptional meal begins long before it reaches the table—with the soil, the seasons and the hands that nurture each ingredient.
Our cultivation initiatives bring fresher produce to the table while encouraging more responsible and efficient procurement.
Behind every ingredient are farmers, gardeners, growers and culinary teams whose knowledge and care bring nature’s abundance to the table. By valuing provenance, seasonality and local produce, we create food that is rooted in its place.
For MAYFAIR, true culinary luxury lies in provenance—the connection between the land, the people and the plate, where every meal becomes a story of place, purpose and responsible hospitality.
