Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant in India?+
Tipping is not mandatory in India, but a tip of 5–10% is customary at sit-down restaurants. At fine dining or for exceptional service, 10–15% is appreciated. Many restaurants in India add a service charge of 5–10% directly to the bill.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?+
Convention varies, but most people tip on the pre-tax amount. However, tipping on the total (including tax) is also common, especially in India where GST is already embedded in many restaurant bills.
Is the restaurant service charge the same as a tip?+
Not exactly. A service charge added by the restaurant goes to the establishment, which then distributes it (or not) to staff at its discretion. A tip you leave in cash or separately goes directly to the server. If a service charge is already included, an additional tip is optional.
