There’s a specific sort of restaurant one keeps meaning to visit, but puts off. Maybe you’ve thought it suits a grander occasion, or the menu feels like too much of a gamble. In 2010, Restaurant Week India was flagged off as an annual event to fill these gaps of hesitation. It brought several restaurants under one fixed framework: a three-course prix-fixe at uniformly set prices for lunch and dinner.
This was a novel moment at the time – curated fine-dining menus weren’t as familiar to India. But since then, the event has fallen out of circulation. After a whole decade, it’s back!
Running from today, April 24, through May 3 across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, the 2026 edition brings together more than 55 restaurants together for a three-course meal at ₹1,500 for lunch and ₹1,800 for dinner.
How and where to snag a table during Restaurant Week India
Reservations are naturally mandatory and meals are prepaid, managed through the festival's now dedicated booking platform built in partnership with Putting Scene. The website to visit is here. While general bookings went live on April 17, seats still remain. You’ll see brief descriptions of the vision behind the menus and the chefs who are curating them.

Why you should still consider RWI today
When RWI first appeared, the novelty was partly logistical. A set price made it easier to budget an evening somewhere. It was also educational, in the best sense. The format introduced Indian diners to giving away control of a meal entirely to a chef. That felt new, back then. Of course, with the increasing rise of curated menus and supper clubs, it no longer is.
What it still offers, really, is a nudge to experience this sort of meal that’s usually reserved for much higher prices at more exclusive, blink-and-you-miss-the-booking spots. Use this to book that restaurant stuffed away in your saved Instagram reels collection.
When: April 24-May 3
