Restaurant Week India (RWI), organised by the Dining Collective in partnership with Kotak Solitaire, Kotak Mahindra Bank, will expand to 10 cities for its autumn edition from October 16 to November 1, featuring more than 100 restaurants and new curated dining experiences on the District app.
The festival’s second edition follows its summer launch across Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, which attracted more than 6,000 diners through over 2,100 bookings and generated more than ₹1 crore in revenue for participating restaurants. Nearly 1,700 waitlist requests remained unfulfilled when bookings closed.
The 17-day autumn edition will offer curated three-course prix-fixe menus, with lunch starting at ₹1,300 and dinner priced between ₹1,600 and ₹2,200, excluding applicable taxes. A new ‘One Service Only’ format will feature selected bars offering exclusive three-course menus through limited-seat evening sittings. Reservations will be prepaid through the District app.
All Kotak Mahindra Bank credit cardholders will receive priority booking access on October 13 and 14, ahead of general reservations opening on October 15. Kotak Solitaire cardholders will also receive an additional curated course at participating restaurants and exclusive access to selected dining experiences.
Jyoti Samajpati, executive vice-president and head of propositions and retail bank marketing at Kotak Mahindra Bank, said the partnership aimed to offer customers distinctive culinary experiences.
RWI co-founder Aatish Nath said the expanded edition would feature restaurants across cities, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, NCR and Bengaluru, encouraging diners to discover new culinary favourites.
