Oran Restaurant Opens in Surat: A Rooftop Culinary Haven with a Heart

Surat: Oran, the city’s newest dining destination, celebrated its grand opening in the vibrant neighbourhood of Pal, Surat. Combining a passion for diverse cuisine with a commitment to giving back to the community, Oran offers a unique rooftop dining experience with beautiful panoramic riverfront views of the river Tapi.

The term "Oran" means "light" and encompasses not just the bright hues of the passing day, but also the warmth and glow of cherished moments and memories. The name Oran signifies a purpose – that of illuminating the diverse culinary traditions of India and showcasing the vibrant and rich flavours that make the cuisine unforgettable. The restaurant promises to become a delightful addition to Surat’s bustling food scene.

A Mission Beyond Dining

The team at Oran (sister restaurant to Spice Villa, Leonardo, and Pavilion) believe that food has the power to bring people together and spread love. As part of their commitment to the community, Oran began its culinary journey by feeding 70 children from Vishwa Jagruti Mission Balashramand in Vesu and 30 elderly individuals from Shree Bhartimaiya Ananddham (Vrudhhashram) in Piplod on 24th December at the restaurant. Additionally, food was provided to 40 more elderly people who could not make it to the restaurant

“Every person deserves to experience the joy of sharing a meal at a restaurant,” said founder Umesh Pavasiya. “Through our small act of giving, we aimed to provide not just food but also moments of happiness and togetherness to those who needed it most, especially during the holidays. It was our way of creating a family for those who may not have one.”

Annual Traditions of Care and Joy

This heartfelt initiative extends beyond just meals. Every year, Oran’s sister restaurants – Spice Villa, Leonardo, and Pavilion – host special Children’s Day celebrations for children from orphanages, where they come together, laugh, play, and create lasting memories. During these events, the restaurant also distributes essentials and other necessities to support the children’s growth and well-being.

For the elderly, the team ensures they feel valued and cared for, providing them with the same warmth and affection they would receive from their own families. These annual gatherings are not just about food; they are about creating connections and spreading love.

Opened Doors on 25th December

Oran Rooftop Restaurant welcomed guests starting on 25th December. Located on the 4th floor of Rio Empire, Opp. Pal Umra Bridge, Pal, Adajan, 395009, the restaurant began its journey as a new destination for festive dining.
