Amazing food and quality service are not the only criteria that restaurants have to be cautious about. Restaurants need to leave a lasting impression in the minds and hearts of their customers, be it ambience, food, décor, and the like. Few dare to experiment while few keep it simple with contemporary, royal or traditional themes.
Few try experimenting with peculiar and irrational and wild ambiances that actually pull the customers from their regular joints to these unusual places. Foodies, whose passion is food, find it very difficult to “feed their passion” of new foods and it is for them that these restaurants promise to fulfill their passion with an interesting experience.
