Guptaji – A Century of Taste, Trust & Tradition

When it comes to authentic North Indian cuisine that touches the soul and brings memories alive with every bite, Hotel Guptaji is more than just a name – it’s a century-old tradition rooted in purity, quality, and unmatched taste.

From a 12-Year-Old’s Dream to a National Culinary Legacy

The journey of Guptaji began in 1927, when a young, determined boy from Agra, Kalkaprasad Badriprasad Gupta, set foot in Palanpur at the age of just 12. With nothing but courage, culinary talent, and a strong work ethic, he laid the foundation of what would soon become a household name across the region.

What started as a small eatery with the aim of serving fresh, hygienic, and delicious food, quickly earned admiration and loyalty, not only from the locals of Palanpur but from travelers and food lovers across India. The word spread fast – if you wanted food that felt like home, you went to Guptaji.

More Than Just Food – It’s an Experience

Hotel Guptaji is built on values that have stood strong through generations:

A Trusted Name in Railway Food Delivery

With the ever-growing demand for quality food during travel, Hotel Guptaji has become a pioneer in railway food delivery, offering travelers freshly prepared, pure vegetarian North Indian meals, straight to their train seats. Whether it’s dal tadka, sabzi, rotis, or sweets, every meal brings comfort and satisfaction, just like home-cooked food.

From passengers on the move to families ordering for special occasions, Guptaji’s commitment to delivering taste without compromise is unmatched.

A Legacy of 100+ Years, Serving Generations

Today, Hotel Guptaji isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a legacy. With more than 100 years of service, the name carries the warmth of tradition, the bond of trust, and the richness of heritage.

From the bustling streets of Palanpur to the moving wheels of India’s railways, Guptaji continues to serve love – one plate at a time.
