Mamledar Misal got its name from the 'mamledar kacheri' - the location of their first outlet in Thane. While Murdeshwar was successful in creating the 'Mamledar Misal' brand over the years, at present, the third generation of the Murdeshwar family serves people across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai at their 14 joints.
