Gordon Ramsay Restaurants to open six restaurants in India

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants is set to expand into India through its partnership with Travel Food Services (TFS), India’s leading travel food and beverage company.

Under the agreement, six restaurants under the Gordon Ramsay Plane Food, Street Pizza, Street Burger and Gordon Ramsay Plane Food To-Go brands are scheduled to open in transport hubs across India.

The first two are due to launch in the final quarter of 2024, while the rest are expected to open by 2027.

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants holds eight Michelin stars between its 88 restaurants. It owns 34 restaurants in the UK, 32 in the US and an additional 22 across the globe, including in Shanghai, South Korea, Malaysia, France, Dubai, Singapore and Thailand.

Meanwhile, TFS operates in over 19 cities and manages more than 350 restaurants across airports and highways in India. It was founded by India’s K Hospitality Corp and partnered with SSP Group, UK.

Varun Kapur, executive director of TFS, said: "This is not just a launch; it’s a monumental culinary event! With this partnership, we are building on the food revolution in Indian airports that TFS has been passionately driving. Gordon Ramsay’s iconic brands will deliver an unprecedented fusion of flavour and finesse, further adding excitement to the Indian travellers’ journey and making their dining experience unforgettable.”
