Mumbai’s culinary scene is vast and varied, but when it comes to serving authentic, home-style Gujarati fine dining, only a few experiences stand out. Such is an experience you will get at “Jamanvaaar”. It is Mumbai’s first and only Gujarati supper club, organised by Mrs. Tejal Rakesh Mehta. This exclusive private dining concept has completely captured the attention of food lovers, who are looking for a rare blend of tradition, authenticity, and intimacy. Here’s a look into what makes Jamanvaaar, one of Mumbai’s most loved supper clubs.
Mumbai’s First And Only Gujarati Supper Club
Jamanvaaar is not your typical restaurant or thali place. Instead, it is an invitation-only supper club that caters to just eight guests at a time. This intimate setting offers immersive storytelling, a warm ambiance, and personal attention that will remind one of private banquets once reserved for royalty. The aim is to deliver an experience with warm hospitality, endless engaging conversations, and a deep dive into the unexplored shades of Gujarati cuisine.

A Vision Rooted In Culinary Love
Jamanvaaar is organised by Mrs. Tejal Rakesh Mehta, whose passion for serving authentic Gujarati food and hosting is evident through every detail. Her vision is completely rooted in preserving and celebrating the rich culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Each meal is personally crafted and plated by Mrs. Mehta, giving this experience a home-cooked magic with the dash of a gourmet chef.
What To Expect?
Guests at Jamanvaaar will be served 20–25 elaborate dishes, which will include appetizers, main course, and desserts. The menus are seasonal and a lovely testimony to Gujarat’s vibrant and variety-filled food culture.
The best part is that no two dinners are the same, as Mrs. Mehta frequently updates recipes to highlight local produce and the variety of Gujarati cuisine. While the full menu constantly evolves, you can expect:
- Homemade farsans (snacks) like khandvi, patra, and dhokla
- Rare regional specialties such as Undhiyu, Dal Dhokli, and Fajeto
- Home-style kadhi, rotlis, and rice dishes
- Rich desserts like Mohanthal, Shrikhand, and Sukhdi
Every platter is vegetarian, coming from the Jain and Vaishnav traditions that prioritize satvik cuisine. Many dishes are served in traditional utensils and presented with an emphasis on ritual, nostalgia, and storytelling. Expect a slow, thoughtfully cooked meal where each course is introduced with stories of its preparation and personal significance.
Vibe And Ambience
Unlike commercial eateries in Mumbai, Jamanvaaar is hosted in a private residence in Juhu, Mumbai. It is carefully styled to teleport guests into an elegant, traditional Gujarati drawing room. Fabrics, crockery, and even the décor are chosen to bring in a sense of home and heritage. All this together creates a luxurious yet welcoming vibe, setting the atmosphere for an immersive evening.
