Restaurant India News: Gaggan Anand and Adwait Anantwar Join Forces for INJA’s Exclusive Tasting Menu in Delhi

INJA, the Indian-Japanese concept by Atelier House Hospitality in Delhi, is set to host an exclusive collaboration with renowned chef Gaggan Anand and INJA’s Head Chef Adwait Anantwar on 11 and 12 October 2025.

The idea originated from a discussion between Atelier House Hospitality CEO Panchali Mahendra and Chef Gaggan during the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants event. What began as an informal conversation has now taken shape as one of the most anticipated dining experiences of the year.

Chef Gaggan Anand is globally recognized for his unconventional approach to cuisine. His Bangkok restaurant has consistently ranked among the top in the world, with menus that emphasize creativity, storytelling, and breaking culinary conventions.

Meanwhile, Chef Adwait Anantwar has been positioning INJA as a space for experimentation, bringing together Indian flavors and Japanese precision. His focus lies in balance, clarity, and texture, creating dishes that blend familiarity with innovation.

Though their individual styles differ—Gaggan known for bold and provocative expression, and Adwait for meticulous craft—both share a common outlook: food as an experience rather than just a meal. The collaboration aims to bring together these contrasting perspectives, resulting in a tasting menu that merges spontaneity with structure.

“Gaggan has always represented fearless originality, while Adwait brings the vision and clarity that makes INJA so unique. This collaboration is about celebrating that spark, bringing two perspectives together in a way that is both unexpected and unforgettable. This will be a great learning experience for Adwait too,” said Panchali Mahendra, CEO, Atelier House Hospitality.

The collaboration will be held at INJA, The Manor, New Delhi, with two exclusive seatings only—7:30 PM dinner on 11 October and 1:00 PM lunch on 12 October 2025. The curated experience is priced at Rs 25,000 plus taxes per guest, with highly limited availability.
