Our Story

Five Decades of Trust, Freshness, and Family

How a single family counter in Katpadi became a name three generations of customers rely on.

MR Chicken & Mutton family-run shop in Katpadi, Udupi

Five Decades in the Making

MR Chicken & Mutton began in 1974 as a single family-run counter on Main Road, Katpadi — built on a simple promise: fresh meat, honestly sold, every single day.

Over 50 years, that promise never changed even as Katpadi and Udupi grew around us. Three generations of the same family have run this business, each one adding to the trust the last one built.

Today, we're taking that same discipline into a new chapter — modern cold storage, hygienic processing standards, and premium packaging — so that the trust our neighbors have in us can extend to restaurants, hotels, cloud kitchens, and modern retail partners across the region.
