When his father suffered paralysis, Miteshbhai left his studies and took charge of the family’s snack lari. What followed was a lifetime of work, sacrifice and a determination to build something lasting.
From a basement shop in Vastrapur to Sindhu Bhavan Road, he developed recipes, worked alongside his team and earned customers’ trust. His signature flavoured khakhra recipes gave a familiar Gujarati snack a new appeal.

An idea born after midnightAN ILLUSTRATED MOMENT FROM HIS STORY
2:00 AM
“What if it came ready to enjoy?”
One late-night craving. A world of flavour.
One night, feeling hungry, Miteshbhai spread ghee and masala over a khakhra. Then came a simple thought: why couldn’t everyone enjoy it already prepared?
That moment inspired him to develop his signature flavoured khakhra recipes. Methiya-Masala was followed by experiments with flavours such as lemon chilli and Manchurian, giving a Gujarati staple a new appeal for the next generation.
Behind these signature recipes is Mitesh Zaveri: experimenting, tasting, refining and teaching his team himself.

The journey behind the name
A family’s beginnings. A lifetime of building by Mitesh Zaveri.
From homemade pickles to a store full of favourites, this is a story of responsibility, resilience and Miteshbhai’s determination to keep moving forward.
01
A bicycle & a beginning
His grandmother made pickles. His grandfather sold them by the spoon. His father carried the family’s food from home to home on a bicycle.
02
A lari called Falguni
The Paldi lari was named Falguni in 1985. When his father suffered paralysis, Miteshbhai left his studies to take responsibility for the business.
03
A dream in Vastrapur
After difficulties with the lari, he took a basement shop he could afford. Even a flood and soaked furniture wood couldn’t stop him from opening.
04
A bigger vision on SBR
His recipes, personal involvement and customers’ trust grew into Falguni by Mitesh Zaveri on Sindhu Bhavan Road.
ONE WORK SHIRT. A LIFETIME OF SHOWING UP.
The person behind the recipes
The hands behind the flavour.
“આપણું કામ છે. જરૂર પડે ત્યારે આપણે જ કરવાનું હોય ને!”
Miteshbhai still keeps a work shirt at the factory. When hands are short, he puts it on and gets to work. He develops recipes, trains chefs and stays close to the food that carries his name.
Growing together
“મારા ઘરે ચોથી ગાડી આવે એના કરતાં મારી સાથે જોડાયેલા ચાર લોકોના ઘરે પહેલી ગાડી આવે, એ મારા માટે વધારે અગત્યનું છે.”
