A night of culinary glory

Founded by a team of experienced restaurateurs and hoteliers, EazyDiner hosted its 10th edition of the Foodie Awards and the 4th edition of the Delhi NCR to recognize and reward ace restaurants, chefs, and hoteliers who have contributed significantly to the dining space.

The 10th edition of the EazyDiner Foodie Awards was held at the Grand Hyatt Gurugram. After the success of the last edition of the Foodie Awards, which were held at The Ritz-Carlton, Bengaluru, new award categories were added this year to the Delhi NCR edition, like Best Midscale Dining Buffet, Best Ramen, Best Sizzler in Town, and Limitless Heritage Restaurant. The winners were decided by direct voting done by over one million EazyDiner users. Foodies voted to honour their favourite hotels and restaurants in their city. The event was attended by food enthusiasts, chefs, hoteliers, restaurateurs, influencers, and successful F&B entrepreneurs from all over India, like Manish Mehrotra of the Indian Accent fame and Priyank Sukhija from First Fiddle F&B Pvt. Ltd.

India’s leading food discovery, table reservation, and restaurant payment platform, EazyDiner, helps users discover great restaurants and bars, get guaranteed reservations within 10 seconds, and make payments using their payment product PayEazy at over 15,000+ restaurants in India and Dubai. Users can save up to Rs. 1,000 over and above restaurant discounts by paying their bill on the app using the power of 20+ bank offers.

The Foodie Awards are touted as the Oscars of the food industry, honouring and recognising restaurants, hotels, bakeries, breweries, etc., among multiple popular categories.

Speaking about the success of the EazyDiner Foodie Awards, Kapil Chopra, Founder of EazyDiner, said, “The Foodie Awards are a celebration of the eating out culture. EazyDiner is committed to enhancing the dining experience of its users through its innovative payment product, ‘PayEazy,’ and our two new dining credit cards. PayEazy has proven instrumental in attracting high-value diners to restaurants, while the dining credit cards offer diners the chance to enjoy more while spending less.

Sumant Kathpalia, from IndusInd Bank, also attended the event. IndusInd Bank was the official partner for the awards. EazyDiner and IndusInd Bank have released two credit cards to enhance the dining experience of a foodie—the EazyDiner IndusInd Bank Signature Credit Card was released in 2022, and the EazyDiner IndusInd Bank Platinum Credit Card was released in 2024. EazyDiner and IndusInd Bank are redefining the dining experience in India with attractive offers, reward points, and culinary benefits at a wide range of partner restaurants.

The event was also graced by industry veterans like Pushpa Bector, Senior Executive Director and Business Head of DLF Retail, who was honoured as the Trailblazer of the Year; Aman Kapoor, CEO of Airport Land Development at GMR Airport, who was awarded the Innovator of the Year; and the Global Hotel Leader of the Year was won by Sunjae Sharma, Managing Director of India and Southwest Asia at Hyatt Hotels Corporation.

EazyDiner Foodie Awards—Delhi NCR Edition—would not be possible without the valuable support of its partners, including IndusInd Bank, hospitality partner—Grand Hyatt, media partner—News 9, and beverage partners—Pernod Ricard and Bira, who share the vision of celebrating excellence in the culinary world.
