Uniquely themed restaurants in India that will surprise you

Long gone are the days when food was the only criteria we judged restaurants on. Nowadays, with the advent of food blogging and reviewing, ambience and vibe as factors have also gained prominence. The restaurants on this list have incorporated certain themes so well that you'd want to visit them if only for the vibe. The food is just a bonus when it comes to these brilliantly absurd places.

Kaidi Kitchen

Have you ever wanted to visit a prison but couldn't? If yes, then Kaidi Kitchen is the place for you. The guests are seated in prison cells while the waiters are dressed in the police uniform. If the customers wish, they can wear the prisoner uniform too. It is all very sombre but makes for a fun experience. The best part is that they have outlets in Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad.

The Bar Stock Exchange, Mumbai

In what seems like a lesson straight out of high school Economics lessons, The Bar Stock Exchange has a unique concept. There are no fixed prices for drinks. Instead, the rates fall and rise as per the demand and supply of the drinks available. You may find your favourite high-quality drinks at low prices on a lucky day. Smart indeed.

Chokhi Dhani Village, Jaipur

Chokhi Dhani Village in the Pink City was awarded 'India's Most Innovative Tourist Project' by the Ministry of Tourism. They have incorporated the theme of a Rajasthani village so well that it has grown to be one of the highlights of the Jaipur City for tourists. Serving authentic Rajasthani food with folk performances and ambience; it is a wonderful experience.

1857, Hyderabad

1857 is exactly what its name suggests: a theme restaurant about the time the British were at its peak. Here, the vibe although suggesting the old times is modern and sophisticated. Much like the foreigners who ruled our country. The view outside is stunning and you will feel like you're in Lagaan.

Kunzum Travel Cafe, New Delhi

One of its kind places, Kunzum Travel Cafe is for all those travellers who're looking for a place to chill before they set out again. With several travel books for a company and aesthetic pictures put up in frames, it definitely is a warm nest you'd like to relax in before you set for flight again.
