Ustad Hotel was scripted by Anjali Menon; it was the first script she wrote for someone else.[4] The film was born from the friendship Anjali and Anwar Rasheed shared when they worked together in Kerala Cafe, in which Anwar directed the featurette Bridge.[14] Narrating the way the idea evolved, Anwar Rasheed said, "the thread of the movie came out in a telephonic conversation with Anjali Menon, script writer of the movie. Post Bridge, we decided to do a movie together. After discussing two-three projects, we thought why can't we do a food related movie. We postponed the movie idea and then Salt N' Pepper was released. This movie has no similarity with Salt N Pepper except that both deals with food."[15]

The film was scheduled to release on 11 May 2012 but, due to some issues, the release was delayed. In July 2012 some media reported that the release would be delayed again as it was not approved by the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI), which received a complaint stating that camels were used in a song sequence without permission. The reports said that the releasing board prevented the film's screening.[27][28][29] Director Anwar Rasheed denied the charges and said, "The song sequence was shot in Rajasthan after getting the permit and there is no complaints against the movie."[30]
Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff gave the movie 3.5/5 stars, saying that "Writer Anjali Menon and director Anwar Rasheed have given us a delicious meal at Ustad Hotel."[46] Sify gave a verdict of "Go for it" and wrote, "Ustad Hotel may not shock you with some thrilling plots or dramatic twists, but it is an entertaining watch that can bring smiles on your faces or at certain other instances can make your eyes moist. It could definitely have been less lengthy and more gripping, but it is worth a watch even in this form."[47] 2ff7e9595c
