The other aspect is that people are looking for guidance.
The platform offers reviews from India's best critics, an exclusive dining concierge service, Sanghvi said, adding that the startup venture has "a very eminent advisory panel".
The platform currently features over 8,000 restaurants, 200 bars, with 300 of the restaurants giving special deals for reservations made from it, the company said.
