NeedGrub - A Comprehensive Guide on Restaurants in India

NeedGrub - A Comprehensive Guide on Restaurants in India
You can definitely find some good restaurants on NeedGrub, though you might not find any reviews against it.

There is a serious issue with all the new websites which basically work on user collaborative concept. In India, the web community is still not actively contributing and thus the site promoters have to put an extra effort to first collate a huge amount of data and then only initiate any venture.

Although there is a good amount of restaurants listed on the site, the design looks simple and is not at all attractive.
