This was the first time ever that there was an independently tabulated ratings by the trusted Ernst & Young (EY), making these restaurant ratings both credible and transparent. Needless to say, the evaluation process was impartial and thorough, involving various key industry professionals and tastemakers.

The ratings were divided into two categories – Epicurean Stars (fine dining) and Epicurean Gems (casual dining).
While ITC was the Presenting Partner, VEEBA and Fortune were the Powered by Partners. In addition, United Tables by Zwiesel, Victorinox, Urban Platter and Bisleri Vedica were the Associate Partners, Lexus was the Luxury Lifestyle Partner and Premier Printers was the Trophy Partner.
