A day in the life of Uma Shetty is a masterclass in passion, discipline, and the art of staying true to flavour.

Her mornings begin long before the restaurant opens — at the bustling fish market, where she carefully inspects every catch, choosing only what meets her unwavering standards. Back in the kitchen, it’s meal prep with precision: spice blends measured by instinct, recipes guided by memory, and every ingredient treated with respect.
From slow-roasting masalas to the unmistakable aroma of ghee hitting the pan, she brings to life the iconic Chicken Ghee Roast that generations have travelled to taste.

Every step, every stir, every flame is a reminder that Shetty Lunch Home isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a legacy built on her dedication.

Here’s an intimate look at the woman behind Mangalore’s most-loved flavours — Uma Shetty, preserving tradition while serving love on every plate. ❤️?
