Five-Star Ahmedabad Hotel Wins Three Times Food Guide Awards

AHMEDABAD, INDIA--(Marketwired - Jun 8, 2015) - In February, The Times Food Guide hosted their annual Times Food & Nightlife Awards, tallying public votes and those of critics and jury members to see who tops India's dining scene. The Courtyard Ahmedabad came out on top more than once, walking away with three awards for its restaurants.

The hotel was recognized in the Best Fine Dining Vegetarian, Best Coffee Bar and Best All Day Dining categories for its Shakahari, Java+ and MoMo Café venues. "We believe in enriching the culinary experience of our guests with authentic taste and excellent quality," General Manager Gaurav Singh says, "and these awards stand testimony to this fact. We are honoured to be recognized by the public and critics through the Times Food & Nightlife Awards."

The awards ceremony was held at the Ahmedabad hotel in its Alishan conference venue, the largest of its event spaces with room to host up to 500 guests in a theatre-style setup. The ceremony was also the formal launch of the Times Food Guide's Gujarat guide. The Times Food Guide is published by the Times of India group and highlights dining in major cities including Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune.

To earn the prestigious awards, the hotel's restaurants have to appeal to not only guests but locals, too. Java+, with its casual European cafe concept, coffee beverages and light bites, is a favourite with young professionals, who use the space to grab a morning cup of Joe, meet with clients or catch up with friends. At MoMo Café, all-day dining is offered in a chic, modern setting, where diners enjoy a la carte and buffet menus that span the flavours of the globe. And while the formal, reservations-only Shakahari is a vegetarian restaurant, meat-eaters will find it hard to resist the enticing options that highlight Hyderabadi, Awadhi and local influences.
