Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has made his India debut with his casual dining chain, Street Burger, opening its first outlet at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, Terminal 1. The launch marks Ramsay’s first step into the Indian quick-service dining space, with a second outlet planned for Mumbai in the coming months.
Born in London in 2020, Street Burger was created as an accessible brand offering what the group calls “honest priced burgers with bags of flavour.” The Delhi outlet adapts that formula for Indian palates, with a menu that balances international favourites and local twists. Alongside Ramsay’s Fried Chicken Burger and classic cheeseburgers, diners will find a Tandoori Paneer Burger and a Butternut Bhaji Burger, both developed specifically for India.
The brand is entering one of the world’s fastest-growing food and beverage markets, where organised QSR chains have been expanding aggressively. India’s burger market alone is estimated to be worth over Rs 14,000 crore, dominated by McDonald’s, Burger King and a growing cluster of homegrown players. Street Burger is expected to target the urban traveller and millennial consumer base, with its first outlet inside one of India’s busiest airports, which serves more than 50 million passengers annually.
“India’s passion for its rich culinary heritage makes it a natural home for Street Burger,” said Andy Wenlock, CEO of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global. “Our aim is to create something familiar yet unique, combining Ramsay’s signature style with flavours that resonate deeply with Indian customers.”
The expansion adds India to the global footprint of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, which now operates across the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. With Mumbai next on the map, industry watchers say Ramsay’s entry could intensify competition in India’s already crowded burger wars.
