Still not satisfied?
Stick around and groove to fresh beats spun out by DJ Clement and DJ Nasha, as well as dance performances by Astad Deboo and percussion performances by Singari Melam. The highlight of the show, however, is bound to be a live performance by the UK’s Nathan “Flutebox” Lee.
Described as “doing for the flute what Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar,” and among the “top 100 things in the planet” (wowza!) Lee combines the art of flute playing and beat-boxing into a new genre he’s dubbed “flute-boxing.” Lee released his debut LP in April to critical acclaim and has graced the stage at The Le Mans Rally, Ferrari World, and the Glade Stage at Glastonbury.

according to me, the restaurant which will win the award for the best restaurant at the Time Out Food Awards 2011 is Lings Pavillion coz they hve the bestest Chinese food in Bombay
November 26th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
I think Red Zen (Courtyard by Marriott Pune City Centre) will win the award for the best restaurant at the Time Out Food Awards 2011 because it is the best restaurant where i have had Thai noodles. Best place for Asia noodles.
November 26th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
In my view, Busaba at Lower Parel will win the award for the best restaurant at the Time Out Food Awards 2011, because its succulent East Asian cuisine, coupled with a mesmerizing ambience makes eating here so memorable, that the aftertaste remains long after one’s last visit.
November 26th, 2011 at 9:40 pm
Whoa Quite a competition this one!
I think “Bukhara” is the strongest contender to win the award for the best restaurant at the Time Out Food Awards 2011. Not only it has won numerous awards already, it has a cult status and is on the itinerary of almost all visiting dignitaries.. Whoever tastes Dal Bukhara once can never forget the taste for life! The ambience, service, food everything makes dining at Bukhara not only a meal but an unforgettable experience.
P.S.: What an awesome experience to vote for this too! I love the graphics and the way names of restaurant revolve. AND what an amazing giveaway! What won’t one give to rub shoulders with the awesome celebrity guest list! You never cease to surprise with the endlessly tempting contests! No prizes for guessing the most loved blog in India..

Neel, at Tote on the Turf deserves this one. And the reason is not just exceptional and consistent food quality; Neel deserves this award for radically reinventing Indian cuisine and for giving a new and fun twist to age old Indian dishes.
November 27th, 2011 at 12:05 am
I voted for O22 at Trident… their Sunday Brunches are the best I’ve ever been to!! Love Love Love the food quality….never lets me down… I hope O22 wins x

~ am from bangalore. I feel the most fabulous place I visited dor food has been the Cubbon Pavillion at the ITC Gardenia. Not only the food but the service, total ambience makes a special memorablle experience.
November 27th, 2011 at 11:34 am
Joss at Kalaghoda, Mumbai is my vote for the best restaurant. Amazing and consistent food quality, fond memories and peaceful, classy ambience.
November 27th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Table, hands down. I dream of porcini bolognese (and the roasted beet salad).
November 27th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
The Table is the number one choice for me. World class food. Inventive, brilliant balance of flavour, great technique, beautiful plating, interesting menu and great pairings from their wine menu.
November 27th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Table – best burger in the city
November 27th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Table – boneless chicken wings, mmmmmmm
November 27th, 2011 at 3:52 pm

November 27th, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Im a regular at the ITC Grand Maratha and I just love the quality & Taste of food they serve there.
November 27th, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Hey Malini…im a big foodie … i love to cook and appreciate good food.. Royal China has the most authentic Chinese food iv come across in India.
Its not masaaledaar like the other ones and they have well balanced spices.
I love their dimsum and Peking Duck the most
November 27th, 2011 at 5:30 pm
Royal China 4 life. But I am pretty sure China House will win again
November 27th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Have to vote for Table – consistently good…great burger, great apps, fantastic wine selection.
November 27th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
In Delhi…really like Setz, Olive (AD of course!), Circa (Vidur!)…
Mumbai – so many, but Busaba has a special place in my heart…Nik and Natasha are great proprietors…
November 27th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Oh and a special mention for Grey Garden (Himanshu!) and Amour in Hauz Khas Village…great places in Delhi!
November 27th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Olive Bar and Kitchen will win the award for the best restaurant at the Time Out Food Awards 2011 because of its Mediterranean world cuisine and the amazing ambience. There is nothing like eating great food in a great environment.
November 27th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
i voted for cafe mangii.. the best italian food with the most amazing ambience and wonderful service
November 27th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Indigo…I voted for Indigo
Too many good restaurants, this is really hard
I think the most popular will win
November 27th, 2011 at 11:58 pm
Btw, my vote Indigo was under the Mumbai restaurants category
November 28th, 2011 at 1:20 am
Shiro! great sushi…
November 28th, 2011 at 10:45 am
i feel swati snacks becos it has the best food nd It has moved with the times, without losing track of what its dedicated clientele wants. The panki is traditional fare that no other restaurant dares to try. The thin layers of besan steamed between banana leaves are exquisitely matched to the chatni and marinated chilis they come with. This seems to be a favourite with everyone. The dal dhokli is one of those sweet Gujarati dals, but thickened with dhoklas. Great, if you like dal the way it is made in Gujarat. I usually do not, but I liked this. The panoli and the satpadi roti are clearly Gujarati rotis, but are special. The latter comes with a very interesting gatta nu shak. If the malai malpura sounds like a bit of an indulgence after this, you can try out their special icecreams— coffee orange, thandai coconut, or even sugar free ginger.
November 28th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Shiro. Amazing :-)
November 28th, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Mainland china is having best chinese food in kolkata so i think they will win !
November 30th, 2011 at 1:04 am
My vote goes to LemonGrass in Bandra. It serves the best chicken wings. Couldn’t find ant other place anywhere in the country which can match that. And the desserts are to kill for!
November 30th, 2011 at 1:32 am
And the award should go to….MasalaKraft, Bandra. Mainly because of the variety of cocktails and mocktails that are available here and the Long Island Ice Tea is to die for. One of the best in the city. Also because it’s reasonably priced which is a rarity in a suburb like Bandra. It also has a big screen, so if you’re a cricket fan and need a place to chill and watch, this is the place to be. Special tip: Order their Chicken Salad, last I checked it was for Rs.110 and it’s delicious! I am rooting for MasalaKraft, are you?
November 30th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Crunchy Bunch will win the award because its an example of perfection all over the Ahmedabad. It is my favorite restaurant as the foods are amazing with wonderful taste and the location,neatness and hygienic ways of preparing and serving food are simply outstanding.
November 30th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
I think Punjab Grill in Mumbai… The food is absolutely delicious if not the best… quantity & portion sizes are great.. its also kinda affordable for good occasions… ambiance is casual yet classy & I think they were innovative trendsetters with their paan flavoured drink & wet towels in a bowl…
November 30th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Under Dogs anytime..the chilled out atmosphere, rocking evironment and excellent food along with indoor games makes it an excellent place to be in
November 30th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
i think Indigo in Palladium is awesome… the wooden ambiance, open kitchen, melenge of smells & comfortable seating make it an extraordinary & sensual experience… to top it off the food is to die for!!! their pulled pork & beef burgers are out of this world… i would actually say all the Indigo’s are excellent… but this one in particular is my favourite
November 30th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Candies with its plethora of dishes, mouth-watering aroma, amazing dexterity in handling huge customers, quaint ambience and ‘sasta & Tikau’ prices is sure to win hands down!!
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 pm

Gajalee is my favorite restaurants. Have been frequenting this restaurant for so many years and absolutely in love with its seafood cuisine and it has recently outdone itself with the Dum Biryani. Love its clean no frills decor and has the perfect ambience to indulge in great conversation with friends
