About a decade ago
We found this stretch of land, years after Randheer Singh Ji had passed. It was mostly sand then - nothing like what stands here today.
A home shaped by one man's love of land, food, and company — carried forward by the family he raised.
Why we opened our doors
A home, not a hotel.
This place was never planned as a hotel. It began with Randheer Singh Ji — an artist with a restless eye for the land around him, a natural cook who loved to experiment at the stove, and above all, an entertainer who was happiest with a house full of guests. People came for a meal and left having stayed for hours. The Grove exists to carry that instinct forward, in a form he would recognize: a home, not a hotel.
Taste, considered
Traditional materials and forms, always with a contemporary eye.
The Grove carries Randheer Singh Ji's instinct forward with a professional hand. Everyone shaping this place today works in hospitality for a living — in the kitchen, in the field, in design, in guest care — and it shows. The menu takes our grandparents' recipes and serves them our way: a Rajasthani table on one side, an Italian menu built from local ingredients on the other, both plated with the same contemporary eye that shapes the rooms and the grove around them. And because this land and this community shaped us, giving back to both isn't an afterthought here — it's built into how The Grove works, day to day. The Grove looks backward with real reverence, and forward with real intention.
Core values
Three instincts we keep alive every day.
Personal hosting over anonymous service
Our grandparents' recipes, served our way
The Grove gives back — because this community shaped us, and we shape it in return
A note on legacy
The Grove is where all of those paths meet again.
Randheer Singh Ji's love of hosting shaped every one of his children and grandchildren in a different way — some found their calling guiding travelers through Rajasthan, some in feeding and hosting others as a life's work, some in formal hospitality training. The Grove is where all of those paths meet again, on his land, in his memory.
