    Fancy a kofta in the Kaidi Kitchen?

    1. Kaidi Kitchen

    Where: 12A, Camac Street, Kolkata.

    The theme: An extremely strange choice for a restaurant theme, it features 'cells' where you can have dinner served by 'officers', while you get to dress up as... 'inmates'. Oh, what the hell. Looks like a ton of fun!

    2. Ciclo Café

    4. Chor Bizarre

    Where: Hotel Broadway, Asaf Ali Rd, Daryaganj, New Delhi.

    5. Bar Stock Exchange

    Where: Shivani Industrial Estate, Opposite Times Square, Sakinaka, Mumbai.

    6. Haveli

    Where: Grand Trunk Rd, Khajurla, Jalandhar.

    The theme: Everything in Haveli is a tribute to the state of Punjab, right from the cots and food stalls to the life-sized truck just casually standing by the door. No biggie.

    7. Bhaijaanz

    Where: Sherly Rajan Road, Rizvi Complex, Off Carter Road, Bandra West, Mumbai.
