The foundations of Moti Mahal began in 1972, when S. Manjit Singh Arora, guided by his father, established the iconic Moti Mahal Restaurant. Over five decades, it became a beloved culinary landmark synonymous with authentic tastes, warmth, and integrity in Haldwani.
In 2018, the second generation launched Moti Mahal Inn to solve a long-standing challenge for Kumaon travellers: providing clean, spotless, and genuinely comfortable budget lodging right by Haldwani’s transit hubs.
Today, the inn is steered by Joy Arora, a hotelier with over 16 years of hands-on industry experience. Joy personally assists guests with pilgrimage planning, honest local taxi bookings, and itinerary advice, ensuring no traveller is overcharged when heading into the hills.
