EazyDiner Foodie Awards - the Food Oscars Come to Delhi NCR

NEW DELHI, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The first EazyDiner Foodie Awards was a star-studded evening, with the hall packed solid with a galaxy of industry experts, celebrities and key influencers of the NCR.

Held at The Oberoi, Gurgaon, the award ceremony recognized and rewarded the 'best and the brighest' - restaurants and chefs, who have contributed significantly to the dining universe of this metropolis. With India's celebrated food connoisseur Mr. Vir Sanghvi turning the spotlight on his picks in the 'Critic's Award Category' and the voice of the discerning diner resonating in the'People's Choice Awards Category', the ceremony feted a wide spectrum of outstanding achievement.

A really notable 'first' was the fact that the People's Choice Awards were 'process validated' by KPMG, in a clear drive to make the Foodie Awards the most credible recognition in the history of restaurant and food awards in the country.

India's leading stand-up comedian, Papa CJ hosted the evening with his trademark 'tongue-in-cheek wit'. The roll call of presenters was peppered with 'A-listers' from across the spectrum, including cricketer Yuvraj Singh, restaurateurs Riyaz Amlani and AD Singh, MakeMyTrip founder Deep Kalra, award-winning artist Subodh Gupta, renowned fashion designer Deepika Govind and actor Jas Arora amongst others. Jiggs Kalra and Marut Sikka were among the list of celebrated winners in attendance at the evening.

The event also served as an appropriate platform to announce that Mr. Kapil Chopra, President, The Oberoi Group and Mr. Sanjay Rishi, Regional President, American Express, have joined the Board of Directors of EazyDiner.com
