A note from the founder

years of hospitality heritage

  1. 1972Moti Mahal Restaurant opens in Haldwani
  2. 2018The second generation opens Moti Mahal Inn
  3. TodayJoy Arora, 16+ years in hospitality, runs the inn

Rooted in Haldwani since 1972: the story of Moti Mahal

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.
