Gurmeet Singh, the visionary behind Sandoz Restaurants, has redefined the culinary landscape with his unwavering passion for food and commitment to excellence. From humble beginnings to a flourishing brand, Gurmeet’s journey is a testament to perseverance, innovation, and a profound love for flavors.
Early Beginnings
In the wake of the Indian partition, Sardar Jagir Singh established “Calcutta Dhaba” in the vibrant streets of Karol Bagh, New Delhi. The tantalizing aroma of curries wafting from the open tandoor created an unforgettable dining experience. It was in this bustling environment that Gurmeet Singh absorbed the essence of authentic North Indian cuisine.
A Legacy Continues
Following the passing of Jagir Singh in 1993, Gurmeet Singh, alongside his brother, Sardar Inderpreet Singh, assumed leadership of the family business. In a heartfelt tribute to their father, they rebranded the restaurant as “Sandoz Restaurants,” a name that honors their father’s nickname, “Sando” Pahalwan, earned from his love of bodybuilding.
Culinary Delights
Sandoz Restaurants has become synonymous with mouthwatering dishes. From the smoky Bhatti Chicken to the sumptuous Butter Chicken, every bite is a reflection of Gurmeet Singh’s dedication to quality. Signature dishes like Tandoori Chicken, Dal Makhni, and Dal Amritsari have captured the hearts of generations. The inviting ambiance and impeccable service have made Sandoz a preferred destination for celebrations.
Beyond Borders
Gurmeet Singh’s vision expanded beyond North Indian cuisine with the creation of Cafe Sandoz, a culinary oasis that brings together Continental, Pan-Asian, and Fusion Indian cuisines. This unique dining experience has become a magnet for younger audiences. Sandoz ventured into the nightlife culture with Neoba at Pacific Mall NSP, an open-sky lounge that offers a symphony of music, aromatic food, and a wide selection of beverages. Additionally
Banquets
Sandoz has made its mark in the banquet industry with venues like Five Elements, Mosaic, and Vardaan Luxury Banquets.
Venturing into Hospitality
Expanding their horizons even further, Sandoz has now entered the hospitality industry, launching hotels in Delhi, Amritsar, Goa, and Mussoorie. These establishments embody the same dedication to excellence that has made Sandoz a household name, offering guests luxurious stays that echo the brand’s commitment to quality and service.
