A mother's care, for every yatri.
Madhuban began in 2012 with one idea: pilgrims deserve food that is pure, nourishing and made with love.
Food for the journey within
Sai Madhuban Hospitality was founded in 2012 to serve nutritious food to tirth yatris. We opened our first sattvic restaurants at Katra, the base of Mata Vaishno Devi, and at Shirdi, the home of Sai Baba.
Thousands of seekers pass through our doors every month. We can't offer them darshan, but we can offer the next best thing: a warm, homely meal cooked with a mother's care.
What "sattvic" means on your plate
No onion, no garlic
Never, in any dish. It keeps the food light and suitable for pilgrims of every tradition.
Fresh & seasonal
Seasonal vegetables, fruits, dairy and protein-rich lentils and paneer, cooked fresh every day.
Cooked with care
Food that nourishes the body and calms the mind, in keeping with the sattva way of eating.
Two kitchens, one belief
