Welcome to Mr.Vadewala

Once upon a time, in a small village near Shirdi, there lived a young boy named Nilesh Jadhav. He came from a simple family, and like many others in the village, they loved eating vadapav. Vadapav is a popular snack made with a spicy potato patty (vada) served with soft bread (pav). In the village, people usually ate it by separating the vada and pav.

One day, Nilesh heard exciting news—McDonald’s, a famous international restaurant, had opened in Shirdi. Eager to experience it, he decided to take his parents for a special meal. His parents had never tried a burger before, and Nilesh was excited to introduce them to something new.

When they sat down at McDonald’s, he ordered burgers for everyone. But since his parents didn’t know how to eat burgers, they started eating them the way they ate vadapav—by separating the bun and the patty. They finished the buns first, leaving the burger tikki (patty) on the plate. Then, they asked Nilesh, “Can we get more buns to finish this patty?”

Nilesh smiled and explained that McDonald’s didn’t sell just the buns. To get more, they would have to buy another burger, which didn’t seem practical. As they continued their meal, Nilesh started thinking, “If a foreign brand like McDonald’s can come to India, serve food that people in my village don’t even know, and still become so famous, why can’t we do something similar with our own food, like vadapav?”

He realized that vadapav was loved by people in his village and beyond. It was affordable, delicious, and already a part of their culture. With this idea in mind, Nilesh decided to start his own business, selling vadapav in a modern way. He thought, “If McDonald’s can spread all over the world, why can’t vadapav become just as big?”

That’s when Nilesh started his brand, Mr. Vadewala. He worked hard to turn his idea into reality, opening his first store and offering the same street-style vadapav that everyone loved, but with a touch of professionalism. People quickly took to the brand because it reminded them of home while offering the convenience of fast food.

As Mr. Vadewala grew in popularity, Nilesh opened more stores across the country. His brand became a hit, expanding to over 350+ franchises all over India, and it’s still growing.

Today, Mr. Vadewala is known for its delicious, authentic street food, bringing the taste of the village to people all over the country. And it all started with Nilesh Jadhav’s simple idea—to take something local and make it big, just like McDonald’s did with their burgers.
