Our Founder

Lord Karan Bilimoria is a pioneering entrepreneur, philanthropist, and public leader who has always believed in innovation, quality, and cultural inclusivity. With General Bilimoria's Canteen, he extends his passion for great dining experiences by cooking fresh, authentic meals in kitchens across the country.

A trailblazer in business and public service, Lord Bilimoria made history as the first Zoroastrian Parsi to sit in the House of Lords. His academic background spans Osmania University, the University of Cambridge, and he is an alumnus through executive education at Cranfield, Harvard Business School and London Business School. As the former President of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and Chancellor of the University of Birmingham, and current Chair of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) UK, he has championed leadership, economic growth, and business excellence on a global stage.

At General Bilimoria's Canteen, we believe that great food should be trustworthy, fresh, and delicious. That's why we cook fresh Indian, South Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese and Thai food in our own kitchens across the country. Whether you're craving comforting classics, bold global flavours, or modern culinary innovations, GBC ensures that every meal is crafted with care and integrity.

Unlike traditional food delivery platforms, we prioritise transparency and quality. Nothing sits under a lamp — every dish is cooked when you order it, in our own kitchens, to the same standard, recipes and training across all of them.

At GBC, we are committed to offering more than just convenience - we provide a food experience rooted in trust, heritage, and uncompromising quality. When you choose GBC, you're choosing a service that values excellence in every bite.
