Where Restaurant Week India 2026 is happening

Time Out lists more than 15 cities. These include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh and Mohali, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Goa, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Leh, Mumbai and Pune. The number of restaurants differs inside the report. The text says over 100, while the page title says 150 plus.

So treat the count as more than 100 and check your own city on District. Availability varies a lot between cities.

How to book without wasting a slot

Bookings run through District by Zomato. Tables went live for general access on 16 October, so many popular slots may already be gone. However, it is still worth checking several time slots, because availability differs by restaurant and day.

Before you confirm, read the listing carefully. The Time Out report does not say whether taxes, service charge or drinks are included in the price. So check that on the restaurant page, then book.

Is a set menu worth it?

A fixed menu works best when you want to try a restaurant without studying a long à la carte list. A three course lunch from ₹1,300 can also be an easy way to test a place before a bigger dinner. Still, a set menu limits your choices, so look at the dishes before you pay.

For example, if a menu leans heavily on dishes you avoid, skip it. Also, with only four days left, book early rather than waiting for the last weekend.
