A glimpse into history: Mani Mansion
The heritage backdrop of Mani Mansion adds an extra layer of charm to your dining experience. This 100-year-old architectural marvel was once the cherished home of the Dalal family. The mansion takes its name from “Manibhai,” a prominent social worker and businessman, whose legacy continues to thrive within its walls.
The restoration of the heritage structure preserves its soul, with artisanal cement tiles and local woodwork breathing new life into the hallowed halls. Moreover, a multi-designer gift store on-site adds to the mansion’s allure.
Besides French Roast, Mani Mansion also houses Rudu Bhojan, a haven for lovers of traditional Gujarati cuisine. Here, you can savor authentic dishes served in ‘Kansya’ utensils, offering a glimpse into the rich culinary heritage of the region.
