Restaurant India News: Mann & Salwa Enters Venue Business With New Banquet Launch in Ahmedabad

Mann & Salwa has entered a new phase of growth with the launch of a contemporary banquet venue. The move signals the brand’s transition from a traditional catering-led business to a more integrated hospitality offering, aligned with evolving consumer expectations in the city.

Founded as a family-run catering house, Mann & Salwa built its reputation on consistency, reliability, and long-term relationships with local families. Over the years, the brand has become a familiar name at private events and milestone celebrations across Ahmedabad. The new banquet space represents a strategic extension of that legacy into a fixed-format venue model.

The banquet has been designed with a focus on functionality, flexibility, and understated design. Elements such as soft lighting, neutral textures, and a clean layout aim to support a wide range of ceremonies and gatherings without overpowering the event itself. The emphasis remains on comfort, adaptability, and operational efficiency rather than overt grandeur, positioning the venue for repeat family-led occasions.

“Values and trust have always been at the core of Mann & Salwa,” says CEO, Ridhi Choudhary. “As we step into the wedding season, this banquet allows us to offer families a complete celebration experience that is familiar in spirit, elevated in execution. Ahmedabad is moving towards gourmet, multi-cuisine menus and experiential hospitality, and this new chapter allows us to grow thoughtfully with that shift.”

Food continues to be the central pillar of the business. The culinary model remains consultation-driven, with menus finalised only after direct discussions with families. The focus is on fresh ingredients, balanced preparation, and familiar recipes presented with controlled refinement. This approach has been extended to the banquet format, ensuring continuity between the brand’s catering roots and its venue-based offering.

The banquet launch also reflects Mann & Salwa’s broader positioning under The Primo collective. Alongside the banquet, the group has introduced three fine-dining concepts — Sora, Vyanj, and Sahtain — marking a clear diversification strategy across catering, events, and restaurant formats. Together, these verticals place Mann & Salwa as a full-spectrum hospitality player rather than a single-service operator.

With Ahmedabad’s wedding and events market showing increasing demand for curated food experiences and end-to-end hospitality solutions, Mann & Salwa’s expansion aligns with wider industry trends. The new banquet space strengthens the brand’s ability to retain existing clientele while addressing a more experience-driven market without moving away from its core operating principles.
