The Minute Bistro is a restaurant located in the heart of Kasturi Nagar, Bangalore that asks guests to pay for the time they spend at the establishment rather than the food. The unique business model operates on the notion that our time is the most valuable commodity of all.
The DIY-style restaurant includes a buffet and is all you can eat and drink, with enough space for patrons to relax how they so choose, whether that's by meeting with friends, reading or browsing the Internet. Designed as a coworking space, guests are asked to book their time at the Minute Bistro ahead through the company's website, while guests are also allowed to bring their own food.
