Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is bringing his world-class dining experience to Indian travelers. The Michelin-starred restaurateur has officially partnered with Travel Food Services (TFS) — one of India’s leading travel F&B companies — to launch six new dining outlets across major Indian airports by 2027.
The collaboration marks Ramsay’s first large-scale restaurant venture in India, signaling a major step in his brand’s global expansion strategy. The new outlets will feature a curated selection of Ramsay’s signature dishes, combining global flavors with local influences tailored for the Indian market.
A New Chapter for Ramsay’s Global Brand
Gordon Ramsay, known worldwide for television hits such as Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, and Kitchen Nightmares, has built a culinary empire spanning more than 80 restaurants across continents. From fine-dining establishments in London and Las Vegas to casual airport eateries, Ramsay’s brand has long combined accessibility with high standards.
The partnership with Travel Food Services, which operates food and beverage outlets in over 20 airports across India, reflects the country’s rising demand for premium dining experiences in the travel sector. The venture is expected to include locations at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad — among the busiest airports in the region.
Raising the Bar for Airport Dining
Airport dining in India has transformed dramatically in the past decade, evolving from fast food and packaged meals to full-service restaurants offering gourmet experiences. Ramsay’s entry is expected to elevate this transformation even further.
Industry experts suggest that Ramsay’s brand presence could redefine travelers’ expectations of airport cuisine, offering a blend of British sophistication and culinary innovation suited to global palates. Each outlet is anticipated to feature a mix of grab-and-go options, sit-down dining, and signature menu items inspired by Ramsay’s international hits such as Beef Wellington, Scrambled Eggs with Crème Fraîche, and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
The India Opportunity
For Ramsay, India represents both a strategic and emotional milestone. With its booming aviation sector, rapid infrastructure development, and a growing middle-class consumer base, India offers immense potential for hospitality brands. According to TFS executives, the partnership aims to serve millions of passengers annually while emphasizing quality, efficiency, and authenticity.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Gordon Ramsay Restaurants to bring world-class food experiences to Indian airports,” a TFS spokesperson said. “This partnership blends global culinary excellence with the warmth and diversity of Indian hospitality.”
A Taste of What’s to Come
The first restaurant is expected to open at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (Terminal 1), setting the stage for subsequent launches at other key locations by 2027.
Ramsay himself expressed excitement about the venture, noting India’s rich culinary heritage and dynamic travel culture. “India’s food scene is extraordinary — bold, colorful, and full of flavor,” he said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to bring our restaurants to Indian airports and give travelers a dining experience that’s truly memorable.”
With this partnership, Gordon Ramsay adds yet another chapter to his global legacy — this time, blending British precision with Indian passion, and transforming the airport dining landscape one terminal at a time.
