Hotel Hind Kesari was founded in Nashik with a simple but bold vision: to celebrate the richness of non-veg cuisine from Maharashtra and beyond, in an environment that feels like home but with a dash of grand spectacle.

The passionate duo behind this venture are Mrs. Jyoti and Mr. Nikhil Palve, a husband and wife team who are entrepreneurs, food-enthusiasts, and innovators.
Their shared belief is that every meal should tell a story — about culture, craftsmanship, and care. Through Hind Kesari, they aim to build more than just a restaurant: a community of food lovers who value taste and well-being.
“Food is life. When we treat it with respect — in sourcing, in preparation, in serving — it nurtures body and soul.”
— Mrs. Jyoti & Mr. Nikhil Palve
At Hind Kesari, we believe that great food should not come at the cost of neglecting health. Every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients, careful spice balance, and attention to hygiene.
We source ingredients from trusted suppliers, prioritizing freshness and quality.
We emphasize controlled oil usage, clean cooking environment, and safe food storage.
We aim to educate our guests: enjoy boldly, but mindfully.
Our most talked-about creation: a thali weighing around 16 kilograms laden with seafood, chicken, mutton, gravies, breads, rice, side dishes, and more.
