BY SHUJATH ALI
Following the resounding success of Epicurean Restaurant Ratings 2024 Bengaluru at Conrad Bengaluru in October and Delhi NCR at Grand Hyatt Gurgaon in November, in December, it was time for Mumbai to celebrate the best of the best in the Maximum City.
Held at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, the event attracted the who’s who of the city including Malaika Arora, Zarine and Zayed Khan, Simone Khan Arora, Talat and Bina Aziz, Shashi and Anu Ranjan, Tanisha Mukherjee, Ajay and Raji Gupta, Sabbas and Punam Joseph, Mohomed Morani and Suman Raheja.
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.
Mentored by Rashmi Uday Singh, Kunal Vijayakar and Sid Mewara, the restaurants were voted by an esteemed independent jury comprising over 60 leading food critics and connoisseurs. These distinguished jury members contributed their insights, making a meaningful impact on the culinary landscape.
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.
Nikita Ramchandani, Multi-Property VP Marriott Mumbai Market and GM, JW Marriott Juhu, and her team pulled out all stops to present a culinary extravaganza that Mumbai will not forget in a long time.
