A Humble Beginning (1940)

Founded in 1940 by two friends, Peshori Lal Lamba and I.K. Ghai, Kwality’s journey started with hand-churned ice cream carts and blossomed into the enduring culinary landmark it is today.

Made to stand out. Still does.

The spelling was a clever marketing ploy to get people’s attention. This playful yet distinct spelling stood out in the bustle of a street market.

Even before branding became a concept, the founders intuitively understood that standing out mattered. By giving a creative twist to ‘quality,’ they signalled something memorable.

Wall of fame

Over the decades, Kwality has played host to an extraordinary guest list welcoming cinematic greats like Raj Kapoor, creative visionaries such as Manish Malhotra and political leaders including Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi. Yet, beyond the celebrities and statesmen, it remains just as cherished by the countless families who have made dining here a tradition across generations.

Quote from the founder

The aim was that people can think of Indian food with the same elegance as Japanese or Italian.
