6. EPICURUS is swanky upmarket restaurants founded by Sri Manthena Ramalinga Raju. It derives
its name from a famous Greek Philosopher (314-270 B.C.) by the same name who believed that
life was meant to be enjoyed to the Hilt and not Hot atoned for. His philosophy was simple –
“Without guilt or fear, We assume that pleasure is beginning and end of a blessed life and
recognise this to be our first and natural fortune.”
The Word Epicurus Came from “Epicure” which means a person has cultivated a
discriminating palate for good food and drink. Epicureanism attained great popularity thanks to
sustained and committed efforts of his pupils who exhorted the cognoscenti to switch over
from low living to true divine living by taking to the good things of life like good food and
drink. It was this galvanising event of a remarkable age that Inspired our Founder to set up .
From last 50 years, Epicurus Group has undertaken to promote the initiatives of the hospitality
industry. This competition founded by M. S. Nagaraju, Managing Director & CEO of EPICURUS
Group. It is an opportunity for Hotels to highlight their teams’ exemplary achievements in
communication, marketing, innovation, human resources, social and environmental responsibility
and customer loyalty programs. A major innovation has been added during the 6th edition in
2013 with the Indian Hospitality Awards. Through them, a link was made between the schools
of hospitality management and the future operations managers.
