Recognition

More than fifty awards, and one that matters more than the rest.

Since 2017, Mehfil has been recognised by Zomato, Swiggy, Times, Franchise India and others. These are the 19 we are proudest to name.

2023 · Zomato Restaurant Awards

Maximum Orders in India

This award was not for the best reviews or the best ratings. It was for the most orders of any restaurant in India on Zomato. That makes it the one award that measures what Mehfil has worked towards since 2006: a plate that enough people can afford to order again tomorrow.

Why 19 and not fifty? The full count passed fifty some time ago and is still growing. The 19 here are the ones we can name with the body that gave them and the year, which is why they are the ones on this page.
