  1. In order to find the answers for you, I first educated myself about

    Vastushastra (aka "Vaastu Shastra") -- something I'd never heard of!

    For anyone else reading this answer who is unaware of this fascinating

    science, I recommend this site about Vastushastra for good general

    background and understanding:

    http://www.indiapropertyshop.com/vaastu....

    "Vaastu Shastra: The traditional Indian architecture and design

    system, which specifies the detailed methodology of designing

    buildings, buying land etc. in order to maximize benefits from the

    same for the occupier. This system relies in harmonizing any real

    estate development with the five elements of Indian Mythology namely

    air, water, earth, fire and space.

    VASTUSHASTRA (aka VAASTU SHASTRA, VAASTU SASTRA, VAASTU, VASTU)

    RESTAURANTS IN INDIA :

    It turned out it was easiest for me to locate these restaurants by

    searching for architects and designers who use the science of

    Vastushastra. That strategy, in turn, led me to specific restaurants

    these firms built or re-designed in accordance with Vastushastra.

    (Oddly, it is nearly impossible to find such establishments by using

    such obvious search strings as "Vastushastra restaurants.")

    I also had luck by searching for "Vaastu hotels." I'm assuming that in

    the East, as in the West, you can dine at a hotel restaurant, even if

    you're not actually staying at that hotel.

    Here are the Vaastu restaurants I found for you:  

    The Great Punjab Restaurant in Mumbai. Here's an enthusiastic review

    of the restaurant, reprinted from the Afternoon Despatch & Courier:

    http://www.mumbainet.com/eatinout/greatp...

    The restaurant is located at "186, Dr. Ambedkar Road, opposite the

    Dadar fire brigade and the gurdwara."

    ***

    Creators Architecture:

    http://www.creatorsarchitects.com/vastu....

    advises restaurant owners who want to build and create Vaastu eateries.

    At this page see five restaurants that Creators Architecture built in

    accordance with the science of Vastushastra:

    http://www.creatorsarchitects.com/interi...

    The five restaurants are:

    Gola Northend in Gujaranwala Town (I could not find the precise street address).

    Otik in Rajouri Garden (33, J-Block, Community Centre, Rajouri Garden,

    New Delhi - 110 027).

      

    4 in 1 Wazirpur Ind. Area (34, Comm. Centre, Kailash Bhawan, Wazirpur

    Indl. Area, Delhi-52,

    e-mail: 4in1restaurantwp@delhi-industry.com

        

    361 Restaurant & Banquet in Pitampura (I found the telephone numbers

    for it: 7189958 and 7181395).

    ***

    Creation Architects of New Delhi is a Vaastu design firm:

    http://members.rediff.com/creation/archi...

    Two restaurants they designed are:

    "The Dining Block at Velodrome, I.G. Stadium, New Delhi.      

    Shopping Complex & Banquet Hall at ShriGanga Naga, Rajasthan.

    About 120 Shops, Two Large Banquet Halls & Restaurants."

    This firm also lists four hotels designed in accordance with Vaastu,

    three of which (I managed to confirm) have restaurants:

    Hotel Taktsang, Thimpu, Bhutan:

    http://www.taktsang.com.bt/hotel_taktsan...

            

    Hotel Neelam, Jaipur  

    A-3, Motilal Atal Road, Jaipur 302 001

    Tel: +(91) (141)2377274/2377281/2377282

    Fax: +(91) (141) 2370609

    http://motelpolaris.com/cuisine.htm

    has a cocktail lounge and a restaurant.

    SAB Mall at NOIDA:

    Both complexes include restaurants:

    http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/20...

    ***

    M/s Pavilion Restaurant at Cannaught Place in New Delhi is listed as a

    client of the consultants from the Institute of Vaastu Design:

    http://www.panditgopalsharma.com/clients...

    As to your second question, are restaurateurs and hoteliers

    "benefiting" from incorporating Vastushastra? Yes, they absolutely

    are; however, Vastushastra is really just beginning a renaissance; it

    isn't all that widespread -- yet.

    You may find these three articles of interest:

    The ancient science of Vaastu and Feng Shui have come to hotels in the

    West. See this July 18, 2002, Reuters report, "Away on Business:

    Staying in the comfort zone," by Gunna Dickson, reprinted in Folio

    Magazine:

    http://foliomag.com/ar/marketing_away_bu...

    and these practices are receiving rave reviews from guests from around the world.

    The Reuters article also reveals that the Hyatt Hotel chain uses

    Vaastu in many of its India hotels, including the Hyatt Regency in

    Mumbai. Check out the Mumbai Regency's Web site at:

    http://www.mumbai.regency.hyatt.com/

    and you'll see they have three restaurants.

    As to the impact, and growth, of Vaatsu in India's hospitality

    industry: India's Hotelier & Caterer Business Weekly featured this

    cover story in its December 2, 2002 issue, "Vaastu Hotels &

    Restaurants":

    http://www.expresshotelierandcaterer.com...

    From that article:

    " . . . the concept of Vaastu is certainly gaining prominence. . . .

    But when compared to its presence, awareness and practice in the

    hospitality industry, research has revealed that the Indian

    hospitality segment is yet to explore the concept to the maximum."

    "Vaastu consultant, Devaansh Vaastu Consultancy, Mumbai, explained

    that, 'Vaastu as a concept had held a unique position especially in

    the Indian culture. But it is only in recent times, that the concept

    has received its deserved recognition and acceptance. There are a

    number of potential segments and areas which can actually reap rich

    benefits and gains out of this age old theory. There are times when we

    come across people who have prospered and progressed once they have

    shifted to a new place'

    " . . .Disclosed Ravipal Singh Gandhi, partner, Great Punjab

    Restaurant, Mumbai, 'Vaastu as a concept is definitely worth a try.' .

    . . . Revealing his experience with Vaastu further, Gandhi narrated,

    'One day a man walked into our restaurant. Making certain

    observations, he casually remarked that the tables placed on the South

    side of the restaurant gets occupied faster as compared to the North.

    Hearing that, we realised his observations were a fact. Probing

    further he revealed that, as per the science of Vaastu, if the South

    positioning is higher than the north, it has a positive influence on

    the business in general, which was the case in our restaurant.

    " ' After an interaction and experience with us, there have been few

    restaurants which are accepting the concept of Vaastu. Apart from

    restaurateurs and few hoteliers in Mumbai, the concept has also found

    a place in the southern market especially Bangalore and Hyderabad, but

    it still has to make its presence felt in the Northern belt of India.'

    "

    This reinforces what my research has revealed: there are very few

    Vaastu restaurants in India; though this science is ancient, its

    newest incarnation is still in its embryonic stage.

    Here's proof that Vaastu principles are enjoying a rebirth. According

    to the September 23, 2003, edition of the Hindu Times's article,

    "High-End Look," the upcoming Aggarwal Citi Mall in Pitampura (due to

    be completed in 2006) "will be built totally on vaastu principles."
