Dialogue in the Dark, Hyderabad

This is one of those themed restaurants in India where one experiences something beyond feeling good. You eat in the dark. You have a guide who assists you through the way and the menu. They serve delicious food which is eaten in the pitch dark. We focus on every element of taste which we tend to overlook in our daily lives. Specs, mobile phones, watches and everything which can reflect light is not allowed inside the restaurant. All our other senses work more. This place reflects the idea of the inner light of the visually challenged. The experience will be etched in one's heart forever. This is a social enterprise. The experiences of absolute darkness and being guided by the visually impaired have been life-changing for many. It costs approximately Rs.1500 for two.

Fly Dining, Bangalore

It is the first of its kind. You literally fly in the air and eat. A deck with a huge dining table in the middle with 22 chairs around goes up 160 feet in the air, lifted by a crane. Meanwhile, you dine with a picturesque aerial view of Nagawara Lake, Manyata Techpark and Bengaluru's green cover. It's a set menu. Pregnant women and children below 14 years of age are prohibited from going on to the deck. Advance booking is the norm and it is an expensive proposition. Well, the adrenalin rush, the gorgeous view and the unique experience of dining in the air is not what you get every day and everywhere.  A mocktail session is priced at Rs.8000 and dinner at Rs.14000 (inclusive of taxes) for two.

Nature's Toilet Café, Ahmedabad

This is the most quirky amongst the themed restaurants in India. As the name suggests the theme is a toilet, mainly to increase to spread awareness about good sanitation and good hygiene. The chairs and tables are all designed as sanitary wares. Serving bowls or glasses look like commodes. This café is an absolute cliché breaking. The actual toilets are connected to bio-gas, so the waste products are used to create electricity and cooking. They serve a social cause.

Indulge in food with a stream of water running under your feet. ‘Stonny Brook' in Rajarajeshwarinagar, Bangalore, is India's first stream restaurant.
