(life) With close to a whopping 4,566 tables being booked each hour in Indian cities in 2019, Ind dined out 4.5 times more in 2019 as compared to 2018, a recent report suggests.

As per the recent report published by India's restaurant solutions company Dineout, almost 60 per cent Ind also ate out over the weekends.

However, North Indian food emerged to be a clear winner with 37 per cent Ind ordering it across India including South Indian states. Chinese came second at 19 per cent and Continental at 12 per cent respectively.

Tikkas and chilled beer turned out to be the favourite food combo of the country.
