In 2015, chef Nachiket Shetye and Mangal Dalal took us on a five-course meal across city restaurants during the fifth season of the week-long dining festival, Restaurant Week India (RWI). We savoured one course at each of the spots, to get a glimpse into the different menus offered by the fine dine restaurants on the list.

Fast-forward to 2026, RWI has been revived by The Dining Collective (TDC) — a dining experience initiative led by Aatish Nath, Gauri Vij, and mentors Shetye and Chaitanya Rele.  From April 24 to May 3, guests can sign up from a list of 60 restaurants across Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru.  Each will offer three‑course menus priced at Rs 1600 per person for lunch and Rs 1900 per person for dinner, exclusive of taxes.
