| KWALITY - a brand name that evokes immediate
recognition and respect in today’s fast changing food & beverage
market. Kwality is a brand that has made a connection with an entire generation
of North Indians. For an entire generation of children who grew up in Delhi
and surrounding regions, having an ice-cream meant finding a Kwality vendor.
This is the magic of Kwality. |
| |
| Almost 65 years ago, P. L. Lamba wanted
to create a company whose very name would reflect the service standard of
all its future products – where the highest quality food products
would be served at the best price to satisfy the taste buds of an experimental
Delhi. With this mission in mind, in 1940 he opened the first Kwality restaurant
in Delhi’s famous Connaught Place and thus was born one of the most
recognized brand names of the country – KWALITY – a rich legacy
that has continued to this day. |
| |
| Within just a few years, the Kwality restaurant
became the most popular food joint for the people of Delhi. The name was
an instant hit and a generation on the verge of national independence saw
the Indian food chain as a symbol of our national pride. |
| |
| Today, over 60 years later, that pride
is undiminished and from its humble beginnings, the Kwality Group today
successfully runs the famous Asiad Village restaurant complex. P. L. Lamba’s
gen-next Sunil and Dhruv Lamba have taken the family legacy into the future
with pulsating new ideas like The Breads and More café chains in
India and the Express food courts in various malls and hospitals. |

| A pioneer in the field of
providing quality ice-creams to the people of Delhi, P. L. Lamba’s
journey into the history pages of F&B began back in 1940s,
when he set up the first Kwality restaurant in Delhi’s
Connaught Place. With his core business philosophy of hard work
combined with excellent service, P. L. Lamba had a sharp eye
on the future of the business and its growth in the new emerging
India. His diligence and foresight for the business has today
created one of the oldest legacies in the Indian food industry,
where today Kwality is a name synonymous with class, world standards
and pure delicious taste. This is P. L. Lamba’s true legacy
to his family business – a legacy that his next generation
is ready to take into the future. |

SUNIL LAMBA
Managing Director |
| |
| A man with his eyes set on
expanding the company’s core business, Sunil Lamba joined
the family business in 1974 and initiated an era of expansion.
Kick-starting the flagship GAYLORD collaboration between Ghai
and Lamba Group, the company established branches across the
globe between 1972 and 1980 in Chicago, Kobe, San Francisco,
Birmingham and Manchester. His big move came in 1995, when the
Lamba Group tied up with Hindustan Lever Limited, who took over
the marketing and distribution operations of Kwality Ice Cream
– taking the Kwality brand name across the globe. |
| |
| In 1999, Sunil Lamba displayed
his exceptional relationship management skills by entering into
collaboration with Chopsticks for Chinese food, Colours n Spice
for Indian cuisine and Angeethi-The coal roast bar – making
the Kwality Group into a truly multi-cuisine specialist brand.
Under Sunil Lamba’s leadership the Kwality Group today
has expanded operation to Kota, Jammu, Varanasi and Jaipur. |
| |
| Sunil Lamba’s next big
move for the family business came in 1994 and the company tied
up with Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (BBLIL) and transferred
the marketing and distribution rights to the multi-national
giant. |

DHRUV LAMBA
Executive Director |

| He’s the next generation
of leadership for the family business. Post a Bachelor’s
Degree in Business Administration from “Les Roche”
Switzerland, Dhruv Lamba has taken on the task of streamlining
all company functions and re-organizing company cadres to implement
best business practices within the company. |
| |
| Under his vision, The Kwality
Group has ventured into new age dining concepts like Tonic,
a chic Lounge and Bar offering Continental cuisine tailor-made
for the young generation. Another foray was into Color n Spice
- a specialty restaurant creating exclusive legendary Indian
recipes and Angeethi favorite eatery serving coal-fired cooked
snacks. His dynamism and keen sense of what the young generation
looks for in fine dining experience brought the French café
chain Bread & More to India, which is now quite successful
in India. A keen sense of what the young people want from the
F&B industry also led him to venture into Express food counters
in various malls and hospitals. |
