IBIS India & Chef Sanjyot Keer Spice Up Hotel Dining

IBIS India, a leading name in affordable hospitality, has taken a bold step to transform the way guests experience food at hotels. In a move that’s as delicious as it is innovative, ibis India has partnered with celebrity chef and digital sensation Sanjyot Keer to reimagine dining across its popular Spice It restaurants. The collaboration promises to bring a fresh, playful, and distinctly Indian twist to the hotel’s food and beverage offering—making every meal memorable, whether you’re traveling for work or leisure.

A Culinary Partnership with a Modern Twist

Chef Sanjyot Keer is no stranger to culinary creativity. As the founder of Your Food Lab and a former Food Producer on MasterChef India, he’s known for his inventive takes on Indian cuisine and his knack for storytelling through food. With over two million Instagram followers and a history of working with global celebrities like Ed Sheeran, Ajay Devgn, and Sourav Ganguly, Chef Keer brings both star power and culinary expertise to the table.

This partnership is part of a larger initiative by ibis India to reinvigorate its food and beverage experience, catering to the evolving tastes of today’s travelers. The goal? To serve up dishes that are not just tasty, but also spark conversation, nostalgia, and a sense of discovery.

A Menu That Celebrates India—With Surprises

The highlight of this collaboration is a specially curated menu, now rolling out at Spice It restaurants in all ibis hotels across India. Chef Keer’s menu is designed to surprise and delight, blending familiar Indian flavors with a global perspective and a dash of fun. Some of the standout creations include:

• Cloud Eggs Toasted Dreams: A whimsical, Instagram-worthy breakfast dish that puts a creative spin on eggs and toast.
• Railway Chicken Curry: A nostalgic favorite, reimagined with refined flavors and a touch of comfort, inspired by the classic meals served on Indian trains.
• Gulab Jamun Ice Cream: An indulgent dessert that fuses the beloved Indian sweet with the cool creaminess of ice cream, creating a treat that’s both familiar and new.

These dishes are more than just food—they’re conversation starters, designed to make guests smile and spark memories of home, travel, and shared meals.

Redefining Hotel Dining: Approachable Yet Innovative

Director of Operations for ibis & ibis Styles India, summed up the spirit of the collaboration:

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Chef Sanjyot Keer in this bold step forward for our dining experiences. His creative approach and cultural relevance perfectly reflect the ibis brand ethos. This partnership redefines what guests can expect from food and beverage at an economy hotel—approachable yet innovative cuisine served with heart.”

For Chef Keer, the partnership is a chance to bring his culinary vision to a national stage.

“The menu we’ve created blends familiar Indian flavours with a global perspective, resulting in a collection of dishes that are comforting, imaginative, and made to spark conversation. I look forward to guests across the country enjoying this new dining experience,” he shared.

Connecting People Through Food

This collaboration is about more than just good food. It’s about creating multi-sensory experiences that connect people—travelers, families, and business guests—through bold flavors and shared stories. In a world where hotel dining can often feel generic, ibis India and Chef Keer are proving that even economy hotels can offer meals that are exciting, memorable, and full of heart.

A Trendsetting Move in Hospitality

The partnership reflects a broader trend in the hospitality industry: hotels are moving beyond standard buffets and predictable menus to offer unique, chef-driven experiences. By teaming up with a celebrity chef who understands both tradition and innovation, ibis India is setting a new standard for what guests can expect from hotel dining.

With Chef Sanjyot Keer at the helm, ibis India’s Spice It restaurants are now serving up more than just food—they’re serving up creativity, comfort, and a taste of modern India. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or a first-time guest, the new menu promises to make your stay a little more special, one delicious bite at a time.
