Answer 1

I found the answer on the website

ABOUT GAYLORD INDIA RESTAURANTS

The history of Gaylord India restaurants goes back 50 years when the first GAYLORD opened in New Delhi, India in 1946. It was the first upscale Indian Cuisine restaurant that opened in India during the British Raj, and was an instant success. The pioneering entrepreneurs, Iqbal Ghai and Peshori Lal Lamba, established very high standards from the beginning, and subsequently expanded to Bombay and several other Indian cities.

In 1957, they opened their first GAYLORD overseas, in London, where again, the restaurant was an instant success. Subsequently, branch restaurants were opened in Hong Kong, Japan, and in the United States. The venue of the first venture in the U.S. was Chicago followed by New York.

The first west coast GAYLORD was opened by Kishore Kripalani in 1976 high atop San Francisco’s GHIRARDELLI SQUARE, with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and the Marin County Headlands. The restaurant imported trained master chefs from India to guarantee the authenticity of the cuisine. Today, the Gaylord India Restaurants, with locations in Chicago, San Francisco, Sausalito, Menlo Park, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, and the newest location in Sacramento, are synonymous with quality and authenticity, and have won numerous local and national accolades and awards. GAYLORD INDIA RESTAURANTS set the standard by which other Indian cuisine restaurants operate all over the United States.
