The Bel Cibo Group, led by Sharad and Naresh Madan announced the grand opening of their 12th venture in the culinary world—Begam, which is situated in the upscale Defence Colony of Delhi marks not just an expansion but a celebration of the brothers’ relentless pursuit of culinary excellence.
Known for piloting the Imperfecto brand to culinary stardom, Sharad and Naresh Madan have now brought another passion project, Begam, to life. This is not only an addition to the Bel Cibo portfolio; it reflects both the brother’s zeal to reshape Delhi’s nightlife. The opening of Begam is a testimony to their commitment to crafting globally unique experiences for their esteemed clientele.
Begam’s genesis is connected with inspiration from the bustling market in Hauz Khas and enriched by diverse experiences gained from international travels. Sharad and Naresh Madan felt a magnetic pull towards the hospitality industry, driven by the desire to bring the richness of their global experiences to Delhi NCR.
The interiors of Begam are a testament to the beautiful nuanced Rajasthani and Mughal design. Traditional ‘aaraish’ frescoes adorn the walls and intricate white patterns dance against a vivid red backdrop. Bask in the glow of opulent chandeliers, soak in the regal furnishings, complete with beautiful whimsical artwork.
Sharad and Naresh Madan, the visionaries of the House of Khubani, expressed their excitement for Begam’s launch, noting, “Our expert chefs have crafted a menu to delight every discerning palate, complemented by decor and ambiance transporting guests to an era of sophistication.”
Their journey through challenges, economic constraints, and industry unfamiliarity showcases a transformative ability that has established Bel Cibo as a shining light in Delhi’s competitive hospitality landscape.
They envision expanding Bel Cibo’s influence beyond Delhi NCR, bringing international cultures to various parts of India. In the next five years, they foresee Bel Cibo as a brand generating not just revenue but heartfelt connections, aiming for INR 500 crore by 2025. The expansion plan includes opening more outlets in different states, solidifying their presence in Noida, and exploring new territories like Goa.
