House of Ming at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace opens in Udaipur with regal charm
Udaipur: The iconic House of Ming at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace has officially opened, marking a new chapter in the culinary and cultural landscape of the City of Lakes. Against the shimmering backdrop of Lake Pichola and the grandeur of the City Palace, this celebrated restaurant blends the oriental refinement of the Ming dynasty with the timeless elegance of Mewar heritage.
A new culinary chapter for Udaipur
Known for its legendary oriental dining legacy in India, House of Ming at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace brings to Udaipur a menu steeped in tradition yet reimagined with contemporary flair. Diners can savor authentic Sichuan, Cantonese, and Hunan specialties crafted with precision – from the signature Peking Duck and delicate dim sums to crowd favorites such as Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Stir-Fried Lobster. Each dish pays homage to classical Chinese recipes while elevating them with modern artistry.

Design that reflects oriental elegance
The restaurant’s interiors are inspired by the elegance of the Ming dynasty, seamlessly aligned with the royal architecture of the palace. With panoramic views of Lake Pichola, the legendary Taj Lake Palace, and the Aravalli ranges, the dining space offers a refined setting that complements Taj Hotels’ signature hospitality.
Heritage meets heritage
Speaking on the launch, Devvrath Singh, Hotel Manager, Taj Fateh Prakash Palace, said: “House of Ming has long been a benchmark of refined oriental dining in India. Its arrival at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace marks not only the introduction of this iconic culinary legacy to Udaipur but also an evocative meeting of two heritages – the regality of Mewar and the grace of Ming.”
This collaboration underscores IHCL’s commitment to bringing timeless experiences to modern travelers. The restaurant now stands as a bridge between centuries-old oriental traditions and the living legacy of the House of Mewar.
Taj Fateh Prakash Palace – a living museum
Part of the Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), Taj Fateh Prakash Palace itself is an architectural jewel. Built in the 19th century by Maharana Fateh Singh of Mewar, it has hosted royal gatherings and ceremonies for generations. Today, the palace continues its legacy with 65 heritage rooms and suites, the award-winning Sunset Terrace, Surya Darshan Bar, and the opulent Durbar Hall – famed for its 1,000-kilogram central crystal chandelier.
Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar, Chairman and Managing Director, The Lake Palace Hotels & Motels Private Limited, reaffirmed the family’s long association with IHCL: “My family has shared a close and fruitful association with Taj since 1971 with Taj Lake Palace. With Taj Fateh Prakash Udaipur, that bond has only deepened, ensuring this historic palace continues to thrive as a living legacy.”
IHCL strengthens its foothold in Udaipur
Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO, IHCL, added: “As custodians of Indian hospitality, it is our privilege to manage Taj Fateh Prakash Udaipur. This addition is an important milestone in our growing portfolio of iconic hotels.”
With the opening of House of Ming at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace, IHCL now operates four properties in Udaipur, offering travelers unmatched experiences. Guests can enjoy everything from royal dining and curated vintage car arrivals to glamorous soirées at Jagmandir Island, which has hosted global celebrities and royalty for decades.
