Dining Gift Boxes: How One Voucher Opens 1,200+ Restaurant Doors

A dining gift box is one voucher that lets the person you're gifting choose their own restaurant, their own date and their own table for two. You pick the style of evening – rooftop, candlelight, poolside, five-star hotel – and they pick where and when. No guessing their favourite cuisine, no booking a date they can't make.

How a Wondergifts dining gift box works

1. You choose a box. Each box is built around one kind of evening, with a fixed price that already covers dinner for two.
2. We deliver it. As an e-voucher to their inbox the moment you check out, or as a premium gift box with free next-day delivery across India.
3. They choose the restaurant. Every box opens up a list of partner venues across India – from Taj, The Leela, Hyatt and Hilton hotels to well-loved independent restaurants. They can browse the venues on a map or as a list.
4. They book when it suits them. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

And if their plans, city or tastes change, the gift changes with them: a voucher can be exchanged for any other experience on the site of equal or greater value, or simply forwarded to a friend or family member before it's redeemed.

What's actually included in the dinner?

This is the question we're asked most, so here it is plainly. A dining gift box covers dinner for two at the restaurant they choose. Depending on the venue, that takes one of three forms:

• A set menu – several courses chosen by the restaurant, the most common format.
• A chef's tasting menu – at the more ambitious kitchens.
• À la carte credit – an amount to spend freely from the regular menu.

Some venues add a complimentary drink or dessert. The cuisines run from regional Indian specialities to global and fusion menus, and the settings from rooftop bistros and heritage havelis to beachfront cafés and contemporary fine-dining rooms. Each venue's page shows exactly what its dinner includes, so the recipient knows before they book.

Which dining gift box should you choose?

Know their favourite cuisine? There are boxes for that too:

• That's Amore Gift Box – Italian dinners for two at 300+ trattorias and pizzerias.
• Far East Feast Gift Box – Pan-Asian dinners for two at 350+ restaurants.
• Omakase Gift Box – sushi and Japanese dinners for two at 150+ restaurants.
• Nawabi Nights Gift Box – biryani and Mughlai feasts for two at 100+ restaurants.
• Lucky Dragon Gift Box – Chinese dinners for two at 150+ restaurants.

Matching the box to the occasion

Anniversaries and date nights

Go for atmosphere over formality. The Candlelight box is the natural fit: intimate tables, the widest choice of cities, and a price that works for a first anniversary as well as a fifteenth.

Birthdays

A rooftop makes a birthday feel like an event without anyone having to organise one. If the birthday is a big one, the Cabana box turns dinner into a private occasion.

Parents and in-laws

They're unlikely to book a five-star restaurant for themselves, which is exactly why it works. The Luxury Dining box keeps the choice to established hotel and fine-dining rooms where service is the point.

Weddings and housewarmings

Couples setting up a home are buried in objects. A dinner they can take three months later, once the boxes are unpacked, is the gift they'll actually remember.

Clients and colleagues

A dining box is personal without being intrusive, works in any major city, and never reveals what you spent.

E-voucher or gift box?

Every dining gift comes in your choice of format:

• Instant e-voucher – free, and sent to your email immediately on checkout. Forward it, print it, or schedule your own message around it.
• Premium gift box – a physical box with free next-day delivery across India, for when you want something to hand over.
• Premium gift box with flowers – add a red rose, a blushing rose or a bouquet of ten pink roses at checkout.

If the occasion is tonight, take the e-voucher. If you'll be in the room when they open it, the box earns its place.

How they redeem it, step by step

1. They open the voucher and browse the restaurants included in their box – by city, on a map or as a list.
2. They pick a restaurant and check what its dinner includes.
3. They request a date. Prior booking is required and tables are subject to availability, so weekends and festival dates are worth booking early.
4. They turn up and enjoy it. Nothing to pay for the dinner that's included.

Two small things worth passing on: dress standards vary by restaurant, and menus can change with the seasons and around festivals.

Why a gift box beats booking a table yourself

• They're never locked into your choice. You set the occasion; they choose the restaurant and the night.
• The price is fixed and hidden. The voucher shows the experience, not the amount.
• It works across cities. Gifting someone in Bengaluru from Delhi – or from abroad – is as easy as gifting someone next door.
• It feels like a present. A premium gift box on the doorstep lands differently from a forwarded booking email.
• It's proven. The Candlelight Dining Gift Box alone is rated 4.4 out of 5 across more than 5,700 reviews.

Questions people ask before buying

What if there's no partner restaurant near them?

Each box lists its venues by city on the product page, so you can check before you buy. If nothing suits, the voucher can be exchanged for any other experience of equal or greater value.

How long do they have to use it?

12 months from the date of purchase.

Can I send it today?

Yes. Choose the e-voucher and it reaches your inbox immediately on checkout – useful when the anniversary is tonight.

Can they pass it on to someone else?

Yes. Vouchers are transferable: they can forward it to friends or family any time before it's redeemed.

Do they have to choose the restaurant I had in mind?

No – and that's the idea. The box unlocks every restaurant on its list; they can choose, and change their mind, any time before booking.
