A Brief Profile of the Holding Company

PDK Shenaz Hotels Pvt. Ltd., ventured into its first hospitality unit Grain of Salt at Kolkata in April 2002. Spread over 25000 sq feet and split over two levels, Grain of Salt is a multifarious F&B Outlet with allied hospitality outlets like Restaurant, Bar, Lounge and Banquets. Situated within Kolkata’s prime central district on Camac Street, the outlets have earned distinguished praise and accolades since its inception four years ago.

Designed by one of the foremost architects of the country, the property started with a Brand tie-up with India’s leading celebrity Chef, Sanjeev Kapoor, of Khana Khazana fame. This signature hospitality unit comprises of a 140 seater Restaurant, a 60 seater Hookah Bar - Shisha, two Banquets for 125 & 500 guests respectively, and a swanky neo classic 40 seater Platinum Lounge.

As a part of the group’s globalization plans, Grain of Salt has now been rechristened as IVORY in Kolkata as well. This is in consonance to the Managements belief that Brand building and Trade mark ownership will continue to be its strongest asset in the future.

PDK’s propert at Kolkata has consistently outperformed industry benchmark and grown at a staggering 18% average year on year. Despite high levels of evolved competition and newer influx of outlets, the organization has consistently benefited out of innovative ideas, trends and out of the box thinking. A spate of awards and accolades won over the years include the Restaurant Entrepreneur of the Year Award (FHRAI) won by the founder Mr. Nitin Kohli within a year of the Restaurant having opened; the Editors Choice Preferred Restaurant of the Year 2002 as awarded by the Times of India Group; the Premier Restaurants of Kolkata by the Telegraph; Best Continental Restaurant of the Year 2004 as awarded by the Times of India; ISO certifications in 2005; Environment Champion of the Year 2005 amongst stand alone Restaurants (FHRAI) and the Best Lounge Bar Award as won by Shisha in April 2006 are just a few mentions.

Unit Grain of Salt (now IVORY) under PDK Shenaz Hotels Pvt Ltd became India’s first stand alone Restaurant property to have achieved the coveted prestige of being ISO certified on all three counts namely –Quality Management Systems, ISO 9001:2000; Environment Management Systems’ ISO 14001:2004 and Food Safety, HACCP by the leading Certification body of the world BSI.
