“Vegetarian dining can be made innovative, delectable and fun as a non-vegetarian one. That
is the USP at TGB that converts non vegetarian into vegetarian cuisines while retaining the
originality and taste of the non vegetarian formats. The gourmet vegetarian recipes prepared
by our chefs can appeal to even the most die-hard meat lovers. We have achieved success in
converting even a very hard core non vegetarian cuisine like Mughlai in a vegetarian format.”

While other hotels try to cash in on occupancy, TGB strive to rule the roost on the F & B front.
This unique banqueting revenue model is not just a differentiator but also helps them sail through
tough competition from international hotel brands. “While in most hotels, 75 per cent of revenue
is generated through rooms and 25 per cent through F & B, it is just reverse for us. We get close
to 75 per cent revenue from food business”, adds Narendra Somani.
