Arijit Singh Opens Rs 40 Restaurant in Jiaganj
Hyderabad, February 13, 2026 – Renowned Indian playback singer Arijit Singh has captured hearts once again with his humble initiative beyond music. The singer has quietly launched a community-focused restaurant named Heshel in his hometown of Jiaganj, Murshidabad district, West Bengal. This eatery stands out for offering wholesome, nutritious meals at remarkably low prices, making quality food accessible to everyday people.
Heshel is a family-run venture managed by Arijit Singh’s father, Surinder Singh. It emphasizes community service over commercial profit, providing affordable dining options to students, daily wagers, laborers, elderly residents, and others in need of reliable, home-style meals. Reports highlight that a full vegetarian thali or basic wholesome meal is available for as low as Rs 40, with special discounts bringing it down to Rs 30 for students in some cases.
The menu blends Bengali and Punjabi flavors, featuring vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. While the subsidized Rs 40 meals target underserved groups, the restaurant also offers regular items at reasonable rates, such as:
- Veg Pulao
- Kashmiri Pulao
- Veg Biryani
- Heshel Special Chicken Biryani
- And other local delicacies
Operating hours are typically from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM (or similar timings like 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM as per some sources), allowing it to serve the local community throughout the day.
This initiative aligns with Arijit Singh’s grounded personality and his efforts to give back to his roots. He has previously supported community projects in the area, including schools and parks. Heshel is described as more than a business—it’s a heartfelt gesture to ensure no one goes hungry due to rising costs, offering food with dignity and respect.
The news has gone viral on social media and news outlets, with people praising the singer’s humility and commitment to social good. Many are flocking to the restaurant, drawn by both the affordability and the star’s personal touch.
For more details, Heshel continues to serve as a shining example of celebrity philanthropy done quietly and effectively in small-town India.
