Restaurant India News: Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Enters India with Street Burger at IGI Airport

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, in partnership with Travel Food Services Limited (TFS), has introduced Gordon Ramsay Street Burger at Terminal 1 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). This launch marks the first presence of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants in India and signals the start of a wider expansion strategy across key domestic travel hubs.

Known worldwide for his distinct flavours and restaurant concepts, Gordon Ramsay now brings his airport dining model to India. Delhi T1 was chosen as the launchpad owing to its transformation into a large-capacity domestic terminal, handling up to 40 million passengers annually.

The Street Burger menu has been customised for the pace and convenience of air travel while retaining signature items. Alongside international favourites such as Gordon’s Fried Chicken (GFC) Burger, the menu features India-inspired dishes like Tandoori Paneer and The Butternut Bhaji Burger.

The offering also includes sides such as Hotter than Hell Fries, vegan snacks, salads, and desserts like Sticky Toffee Pudding. Beverages range from milkshakes to cocktails, catering to diverse traveller preferences.

Delhi IGIA is the only Indian airport in the 100-million-passenger capacity club. In 2024, it handled over 77.8 million passengers, ranking as the 9th busiest airport worldwide. With connectivity to 150 destinations and its recent T1 upgrade, the airport is positioned as a high-value location for global dining brands looking to tap into India’s growing aviation market.

The launch in Delhi will be followed by an outlet in Mumbai, highlighting Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global’s plan to build a footprint in India’s airport dining segment. The group already operates successfully in airports such as London Heathrow, Hong Kong International, and Doha Hamad International.

Andy Wenlock, CEO, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, said, “India’s passion for its rich culinary heritage makes it a natural home for Street Burger. We are pleased to be partnering with TFS to bring the Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global experience to Indian airports, serving our signature flavours and inspired new dishes at the very gateway to the nation. With a reputation for warm hospitality and a love for vibrant, flavour-intense food, we’re excited to see how travellers embrace this dynamic new chapter in our business. International travel hubs are an important growth strategy for us, with restaurants already thriving in London, Hong Kong, and Doha airports, expanding into Delhi - and soon Mumbai - is an exciting next step in our journey.”

Varun Kapur, Managing Director & CEO, Travel Food Services Limited, added, “Bringing Gordon Ramsay to India, and into the airport space for the first time, is a defining milestone for us at Travel Food Services Limited. Indian travellers today expect global-quality dining that’s fast, relevant, and elevated. This partnership combines our operational expertise with the Gordon Ramsay team’s culinary excellence to meet that demand. As India’s aviation sector rapidly evolves, this launch reflects the shift in what airport experiences can and should be, and we’re committed to driving that evolution forward.”

The collaboration represents a shift in India’s airport dining segment, moving beyond convenience-driven formats to high-quality, chef-led culinary experiences. As airport traffic grows and consumer expectations rise, international hospitality players are increasingly viewing Indian airports as entry points into the broader domestic market.
