The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts has been recognised with two honours at the Travel + Leisure Delicious Dining Awards 2026, celebrating two distinctive facets of its culinary offering – the enduring sophistication of fine dining and a more conscious approach to nourishment and wellbeing.
At The Leela Palace New Delhi, Le Cirque has been named Best Speciality Cuisine – European, recognising its distinctive interpretation of European fine dining. A longstanding name in the capital’s culinary landscape, Le Cirque is defined by precision, refinement and a considered approach to the European dining tradition, creating an experience where technique and elegance remain at the heart of the table.
At the other end of the culinary spectrum, Aujasya by The Leela has been recognised with the Conscious Plate Vanguard award, reflecting a more contemporary approach to the relationship between food and wellbeing. Aujasya brings together nourishment, flavour and mindful choices, with dining experiences designed around the belief that conscious eating can be both considered and deeply satisfying.
As The Leela celebrates four decades of True Indian Luxury, these recognitions reaffirm its enduring commitment to culinary excellence and mark another chapter in its culinary journey – one rooted in craftsmanship, shaped by creativity and guided by a continued desire to create experiences that stay with the guest long after the meal.
