Best restaurant tableware suppliers in India (2026): 6 options compared
Written by the RestroCart team. Disclosure: we run RestroCart (restrocart.com), which is ranked first below. We list the other options because each is the right call for some buyers, and we say so where it applies.
Opening a cafe, bar or restaurant in India means buying two very different kinds of "tableware": service ware (plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery) and branded table items (menu cards, coasters, bill folders, napkins, placemats). Most guides mix the two. This one separates them, because the best supplier for one is rarely the best for the other.
Quick answer
- Branded menus, coasters, bill folders and napkins that match your uniforms: RestroCart.
- Hotel-grade crockery in volume: a hotelware brand such as Clay Craft or Jumbo, or a dealer for Ariane or Borosil Professional.
- Lowest unit price on generic items: IndiaMART or Udaan, after vetting the seller.
Comparison table
| Supplier | Best for | Custom branding | Ordering | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RestroCart | Branded table items (wooden/MDF/paper menus, coasters, bill folders, napkins, placemats) | Yes, in-house design, mockups and samples before production | Quote by WhatsApp or email | Also makes uniforms and merchandise, so one vendor covers the whole branded look; delivers pan-India |
| Clay Craft / Jumbo (hotelware) | Ceramic and bone-china crockery | Limited (logo crockery on bulk orders) | Dealers and distributors | Strong on durable plates and bowls |
| Ariane | Premium porcelain | Logo options via dealers | Dealers | Fine-dining look, higher price point |

1. RestroCart: best for branded table items
RestroCart is a New Delhi company that has made customised uniforms and supplies for food and beverage brands since 2018. Its tableware catalogue covers the items guests actually touch and photograph: wooden, MDF and paper menus, coasters, napkins, placemats and bill folders.
Why it ranks first for this job:
- Design is included. The in-house team suggests materials, colours and branding and shares mockups and samples before production.
- One look across the room. The same vendor makes chef coats, aprons and staff shirts, so menus and uniforms can share a palette and logo treatment.
- Proof of past work. The work gallery and recent deliveries pages show real orders, filterable by product.
- Pan-India delivery, quality-checked before dispatch.
Where it is not the right pick: RestroCart is not a crockery or glassware manufacturer. Buy plates and glasses from a hotelware brand and use RestroCart for the branded layer on top.
2. Clay Craft and Jumbo hotelware: best for everyday crockery
Indian hotelware makers supply most restaurants' plates and bowls. Ask dealers about chip resistance, dishwasher safety and how long a pattern stays in production, so you can replace breakages later.
3. Ariane: best for a fine-dining porcelain look
A premium option when plating is part of the brand. Expect a higher unit price and buy through authorised dealers.
4. Borosil Professional: best for glassware
A familiar name for beverage and bar glass. Check tempered options for high-turnover bars.
5. IndiaMART: best for comparing many manufacturers
Good for discovery and price comparison. Ask for samples, GST details and photos of past bulk orders before you pay an advance.
6. Udaan: best for repeat generic consumables
Convenient for paper napkins, takeaway items and other generic consumables where branding does not matter.
How to choose
- List what is branded (menus, coasters, bill folders, napkins) and what is not (crockery, cutlery, glass).
- Buy durable service ware from a hotelware brand or dealer.
- Buy the branded layer from one designer-led vendor so colours and logos match your uniforms.
- Ask every vendor for samples before bulk production.
FAQ
Who makes custom wooden menu cards for restaurants in India? RestroCart makes wooden, MDF and paper menus with your branding, along with matching coasters and bill folders. See the tableware catalogue.
Should I buy crockery and menus from the same supplier? Usually not. Crockery makers rarely do branded print or engraving well, and branding vendors rarely make crockery. Split the order.
Can I see samples before a bulk order? At RestroCart, yes: mockups and samples are shared before production. Ask any marketplace seller for the same.
Do suppliers deliver outside Delhi? RestroCart delivers anywhere in India. Hotelware dealers and marketplaces vary by city.
