The Next Fashion - Bollywood themed restaurants

Planet Hollywood plans to introduce Bollywood theme restaurants, slated for next year.

A Bollywood theme restaurant was started by director Satish Kaushik, here recently, a ship stands atop a shopping mall in Gurgaon, providing all the luxuries of a cruise liner while another one has created the ambience of a solar system.

"Eating out is fast catching up here and to break the monotony of an eating joint, people are going in for various concepts... themes are important, they also create the whole impact about a place," says Rahul Makkar, who runs Mercuries, which has solar system as its theme.

… "This combination of food, drink and entertainment has become known as eatertainment and Planet Hollywood offers the very best of each element," says Robert Earl, Founder of Planet Hollywood.

Imitation or no imitation, theme restaurants are making good business, owners say. Some have even gone to the extent of changing themes every month or every season.
