The NDTV Food Awards 2026 celebrated the finest names in India's culinary landscape, honouring restaurants, chefs and hospitality professionals who continue to raise the bar for excellence. Held on June 15 at ITC Maurya, New Delhi, the awards brought together some of the biggest names from the food industry for an evening of recognition and celebration. The winners were selected by an independent jury led by renowned food critic and author Vir Sanghvi.
Among the evening's standout winners was Paris My Love, New Delhi, which won the award for Best Bakery and Patisserie of the Year. The award was presented by actor and poet Sandhya Mridul, juror Marryam H. Reshii, Saumya Garg, CEO of Switz International Pvt. Ltd., and Vivek Mishra, India Head Sales, UNOX India.
The award was received by Sahil Mehta and Surabhi Mehta, the founders of Paris My Love. During the ceremony, hosts Arun Singh and Maria Goretti spoke with the duo about what sets a memorable bake apart from a technically perfect one.
When asked what transforms a technically perfect bake into something truly memorable, Sahil Mehta said, “When we started Paris My Love, we began with one belief: craftsmanship comes first. For us, it has always been about consistency and never taking shortcuts.”
