Millo has expanded its footprint to Nagpur, marking an important step in the brand’s journey and adding a fresh perspective to the city’s growing food and beverage culture.

After gaining popularity in Mumbai, the brand now brings its signature high-energy and design-led dining experience to Nagpur. The new space is designed to go beyond just dining, offering a setting where people can connect, relax, and spend time across different occasions.

Positioned as a social space, Millo Nagpur blends comfort with a strong visual identity. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a long conversation, or an evening out, the space is built to suit different moods. With thoughtful design, varied seating, and attention to detail, it introduces a more modern and experience-first approach to dining in the city.

At the heart of the offering is a multi-cuisine menu that brings together Mexican, Italian, and Asian influences into a vegetarian-forward concept. The idea is to keep dishes familiar yet elevate them through flavour, presentation, and balance, encouraging sharing and repeat visits.

Sharing his thoughts, Sujit Mehta, the founder said, “Nagpur felt like a natural next step for Millo. It’s a city that is evolving quickly, with a growing audience that is curious, social, and open to new experiences. With Millo, we wanted to bring something that doesn’t just serve food, but creates a space people can return to, for different moods, different moments, and different reasons.”

Adding to this, Savan Bhatewara & Sharmila Shah, co-founders further noted, “While Mumbai shaped the Millo identity, Nagpur gives us the opportunity to build deeper community engagement. The idea is to stay consistent in what we stand for, while still adapting to how people in each city like to dine, gather, and spend their time.”

More than its menu or interiors, what sets Millo Nagpur apart is its focus on changing how people engage with dining. It is positioned not just as a special-occasion spot, but as an elevated everyday space where guests can drop in casually and stay longer.

With this launch, Millo adds a new layer to Nagpur’s hospitality scene, reflecting a wider shift towards global flavours, thoughtful design, and experience-led dining.
