Gymkhana Fine Foods is now exclusively available in all Whole Foods Market stores in the UK as the brand enters its first retail partnership since launching online in May 2022, starting with a range of “restaurant-quality” Indian cooking sauces and marinades.
Gymkhana first entered the London dining scene ten years ago, introducing the nation to premium Indian dining. JKS Restaurants, the group behind Gymkhana, has now partnered with former Mars Director, Gulrez Arora, to bring that same quality food to the home dining market with Gymkhana Fine Foods.
Arora, CEO of Gymkhana Fine Foods, said: “We are very excited about launching exclusively at Whole Foods Market in the UK. It’s a dream retailer for any new consumer brand with its focus on quality and shaping the food trends of tomorrow. Whole Foods Market allows us to further our mission of bringing Michelin star quality Indian food to consumer’s home and create the ultimate premium ‘make-away’ experience that delivers the taste and quality of Gymkhana’s restaurant standards and convenience of takeaway.”
The range has been developed over several months to ensure “Michelin star precision”, with ingredients sourced from India and the UK to offer consumers the same flavour and taste they would experience in a restaurant.
The initial range includes eight products, with four sauces (Butter Masala, Goan Curry, Rogan Josh, Vindaloo), two marinades (Classic Tandoori, Roasted Garlic & Chilli) and two chutneys. The products are created in small batches, using natural ingredients, with no artificial colours or added preservatives.
“At Whole Foods Market, we are always looking for unique brands as a part of our promise to provide our customers with a high-quality offering centred around innovation,” said Louise Allen, Senior Product Development & Innovation Expert at Whole Foods Market.
“This is why we are delighted to be launching Gymkhana Fine Foods exclusively in our seven Whole Foods Market stores across London, offering our customers the highest quality Indian dining experience at home.”
