What prompted us to visit Hyde, which is hidden behind the rasta kiosks at Kala Ghoda, was the talk about its "honesty bar". As we entered, we bumped into friends who were there for the same reason.

"It's a great idea, don't you think?" they said to us. So here's the idea. Borrowed from a concept that is popular in South Africa, the intent is to leave an unattended bar for guests to choose from a selection of fine spirits, and in the end, letting the customer decide what to pay.
