The next time you visit a restaurant in the city and find a waiter courteously whispering that you could get a discount if you polish off all the morsels on your plate and water in your glass, don’t be surprised.

City-based restaurants have come up with a unique offer for diners, in a bid to ensure water and food is not wasted during a time when drought fears loom large in the state. Patrons opting for ala carte could rest assured that requesting for their left over food to be parcelled would not attract glares of disbelief from other diners.
