Noida, August 28, 2025: Gaur City Mall, Greater Noida West, was abuzz this week as Padma Shri awardee and India’s most loved chef, Sanjeev Kapoor, made a special appearance, drawing food enthusiasts, home chefs, and fans eager to meet the culinary icon. The event, themed “Chai, Cheers & Chef,” transformed the mall into a celebration of food, creativity and community spirit.
The evening began with a recipe contest that had attracted over 200 entries. Winners were invited on stage to meet Kapoor, who shared cooking tips, signed aprons and posed for photographs, making it a memorable experience. A candid exchange between Mrs. Manju Gaur, Director, Gaurs Group, and Kapoor added charm to the evening, blending humour, insights and personal reflections.
“Having a culinary icon like Chef Sanjeev Kapoor at our mall is an honour. He has elevated Indian cuisine globally while inspiring countless households with his innovative approach. At Gaur City Mall, we curate such engaging events to create lasting memories and position the mall as more than just a shopping destination,” said Mrs. Manju Gaur.
Kapoor, who has both a Wonderchef store and his signature restaurant at the mall, delighted fans with his trademark warmth: “One ingredient I can’t live without is my smile, and today this beautiful mall gave me every reason to wear it. With such an enthusiastic crowd, I see why Gaur City Mall holds a special place in people’s hearts.”
The event also featured a quirky Wonderchef fashion show, where Kapoor and Wonderchef MD Ravi Saxena unveiled stylish kitchen innovations, including the much-anticipated Chai Magic. Fans were treated to surprise giveaways, autographed keepsakes and engaging activities, making the evening feel less like a shopping trip and more like a community festival.
