Restaurant India News: Encalm Launches Encalm Eats, Debuts IndiSip Café at Delhi Airport

Airport hospitality company Encalm has expanded its business portfolio with the launch of Encalm Eats, a dedicated food and beverage division focused on developing in-house culinary concepts and managing partner brands across multiple hospitality formats.

The move marks Encalm’s entry into the organised food services segment, building on its existing presence in the airport hospitality ecosystem. The new vertical will focus on creating food and beverage brands centred on consumer preferences, operational consistency, and scalable hospitality-led dining experiences.

As its first venture under the new platform, Encalm Eats has launched IndiSip at Delhi Airport. The café concept is positioned around Indian beverage traditions and regional snack offerings, targeting travellers looking for familiar flavours in a quick-service format.

The menu features a range of tea varieties including Ginger Cardamom, Kesar, Gulab, and Kashmiri Kahwa, alongside espresso-based beverages, iced coffees, and shakes. The food selection includes products such as Masala Samosa, Khopara Patties, Irani Bun Maska, Achari Paneer Tikka Wraps, and Chicken Tikka Wraps, in addition to café staples including croissants, muffins, and cookies.

Vikas Sharma, Group Chief Executive Officer, Encalm, said, "Encalm Eats marks the next chapter in Encalm's journey to build a comprehensive hospitality ecosystem that resonates with today's consumers. Food and beverage has always been one of hospitality's most powerful expressions, and with Encalm Eats we are bringing together our understanding of consumer needs, culinary craftsmanship, and thoughtfully designed experiences to build distinctive food brands. IndiSip is the first step in that journey, reflecting our belief that every meal, beverage, and interaction should enrich the overall guest experience."

Deepak Bhatia, Business Head, Encalm Eats, added, "With Encalm Eats, we are building a portfolio of food and beverage concepts rooted in authentic flavours, strong consumer insight, and consistent quality. IndiSip is the first step, a café that brings together India's rich beverage culture and familiar café favourites in a contemporary format. As we grow, every concept we create will be designed with the same focus on quality, consistency, and memorable guest experiences."

The launch of IndiSip represents the first phase of Encalm Eats' broader expansion plans. The company intends to build a portfolio of food and beverage brands across different formats and locations, leveraging consumer insights and operational expertise to strengthen its position within India's growing hospitality and travel dining market.

The move reflects a growing trend of operators expanding beyond core services into food and beverage offerings, as travellers increasingly seek differentiated dining experiences alongside convenience and speed.
