In the vibrant culinary landscape of India, a new star rating system has emerged. India’s first ranking system of this kind demonstrates a dedication to honouring and identifying the best restaurants. This new star rating system sets a new standard for culinary excellence in India.
New Restaurant Rating System Unveiled
With sponsorship from Lavazza, Ultimate Restaurant Ratings by Culinary Culture Co seeks to give customers a roadmap to exceptional dining experiences by highlighting establishments that put quality, innovation, and passion into every dish. “Culinary Culture Ultimate Restaurant Ratings” were created with no outside influence to honour and acknowledge India’s best restaurants. In a first, the event unveiled 54 eateries spread over 6 cities recognised by this innovative restaurant star rating system, which raises the bar for culinary excellence in India.
Three tiers make up the Culinary Culture Ultimate Restaurant Rating system:
- Three Stars: Very Good
- Four Stars: Excellent
- Five Stars: The Ultimate
The ratings undergo a rigorous evaluation and updating procedure that is done once a year. A restaurant that was previously awarded stars could lose those stars the next year if its quality or consistency declines. In a similar vein, a restaurant might eventually receive a higher rating and an extra star.
On February 1, 2024, the first stars were unveiled. This honours the exceptional eateries that have raised the bar for Indian cuisine. The eateries that are part of this ranking system have also made a substantial contribution to the culinary landscape of the country. The inaugural edition of Ultimate Restaurant Ratings included restaurants from Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, and Goa as the six major food and beverage cities in India.
