India's restaurants, menus and photos, one call away
Free MCP server and REST API for every restaurant, menu and dish in India. No key for reads. Provenance on every field.
A free MCP server and REST API over the same data as this site. No key and no sign-up for reads. Every answer says where each fact came from, so your agent can be honest with its user.
MCP server
Add it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client as a remote server (Streamable HTTP):
Tools: search_restaurants, search_dishes, get_restaurant, get_menu, list_places, get_place, report_correction, about_dataset.
REST API
JSON over HTTPS, OpenAPI 3.1 described, CORS open.
GET https://indiarestros.com/api/v1/restaurants?q=dosa&city=bengaluru GET https://indiarestros.com/api/v1/dishes?q=paneer+tikka&city=pune[API reference](https://indiarestros.com/api/docs) openapi.json
The rules
- Reads are free: 120 requests a minute per IP without a key.
- Cite the restaurant URL and the source of the facts you use.
- Users contact restaurants directly. Do not resell contact details in bulk.
- Report what is wrong with report_correction. It makes the data better for everyone.
