Vir Sanghvi, Co-Founder, EazyDiner, said, “The restaurant revolution is here. More restaurants are opening than ever before and Indians are eating out more frequently. EazyDiner is ways of helping diners make the right choices and putting restaurants in touch with the modern Indian diner. The site contains the most up-to-date information on dining trends and our concierges are on hand to guide diners through the restaurant world.
