Multiplex chain Inox Leisure has tied up with ITC’s ready-to-eat gourmet brand, Kitchens of India, to introduce Indian cuisine including vegetable pulao, Hyderabadi vegetable biryani, dal makhani, rajma masala, pindi chana and steamed basmati rice across its cinemas or while ordering through apps.

These dishes are specially curated by expert chefs from ITC, a joint release by ITC and Inox said.

Food delivery platforms

Inox’s new F&B roadmap also includes making their food available on online food ordering platforms like Swiggy and Zomato. The multiplex chain currently sells food under three brands ‘Café Unwind’, ‘Insignia’ and ‘Delights’.

Intending to extend the hospitality to new audiences, Inox plans to position these into full-service restaurant brands to target non-cinema consumers, the company said in a release.
