SwAd lolup/Bhog-vilAsii/swAd pArkhii...
(Mooltah sharAb pArkhii)/khAne-peene kA swAd samajhne wAlA aur batAne wAlA
Gourmet means a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially good food and drink)
I propose the abovementioned options in this case.
It is very difficult to make a precise suggestion on the basis of slim context available. I hope one of the above alternatives will fit in your text.

Gourmet also means:
A gourmet is a person that is knowledgeable in fine food and drink. It was derived from French "groumet" (sic), a valet that was in charge of the wines.
If this is the case, the second meaning i.e. swAd pArkhii(Mooltah sharAb pArkhii)/khAne-peene kA swAd samajhne wAlA aur batAne wAlA will be applicable.

though it is very common word but fit exactly.

: it seems to me that chatora is a negative word implying greed and gluttony whereas gourmet has none of these connotations.

Contextually, in Princeton universitie's dictionary website, there are two matching definitions for the word 'gourmet' found as "a person devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially good food and drink)" and "a person addicted to luxury and pleasures of the senses." This resource is an online lexical reference system.
Since, I'd suggest equalent word in Hindi is 'indriya bhogi,' instead of 'bhojana priy.' Senses are the cause of sensual enjoyment. All materialistic things we experience through five organs of sense. Since, it needed to interpret the translation in this way!!
Hope, this helps a little!!

While supporting langclinic's suggestion, i'd emphasize again on the above term.
Thanks!

: "indriya bhogi" corresponds to "sensualist" which might be a subsidiary meaning of "gourmet" but is not the principal one. the main meaning relates to a person of discernment regarding food and drink.

Thanks for your obsevations. I agree with you when the meaning intrepreted at surface level. But I proposed the nucleus meaning of a 'gourmet' to a 'sensualist.' Without the help of senses, one cann't able to distinguish between between desiresed things..
