India is overflowing with eateries, bistros and gastro-bars. While some foodies simply just want a plate, spoon, fork and dig in the delicacy, there are a few benefactors that like to discover character in a spot that supplements their identity. Business visionaries have been quite sensitive to this need and attempted to create some eateries that push the limits of mainstreams.
