Founded in 2015 by Vir Sanghvi along with several prominent hoteliers, EazyDiner is an online restaurant reservation platform competing with services like Dineout and Zomato. The company counts former cricketer Yuvraj Singh among its backers; he serves as both brand ambassador and investor through his venture investments.
In early 2018, EazyDiner launched a premium dining membership in partnership with American Express called EazyDiner Prime. The program offers discounts of up to 50% on the total bill at participating restaurants, and some venues also include complimentary premium drinks for the entire table. EazyDiner Prime membership has since been made available to the public.

Why EazyDiner Prime
I had been using Dineout for some time because of credits in the Dineout Pay wallet, but after exhausting those credits I started looking for better dining offers. I discovered EazyDiner Prime through an American Express promotion and found attractive discounts — for example, 25% off at several restaurants in Chennai.
One positive aspect is the inclusion of many restaurants inside SPG/Marriott properties, which is convenient since I frequently stay at Marriott hotels. Broader hotel coverage makes it easier to find participating venues during trips.

My Experience
I recently used EazyDiner Prime at Aloft Chennai OMR – IT Expressway for a lunch buffet while en route to Taj Fisherman’s Cove. I booked a solo table with the EazyDiner Prime 25% discount and confirmed the reservation with the restaurant. Buffet price tiers ranged from INR 650 to INR 1,500, and I chose the lowest option.
Although I had stayed at this hotel previously, this visit was just for lunch. The staff treated me very well — perhaps because of the Prime booking or simply attentive service for a solo diner. A staff member proactively helped with menu options and even prepared a special pasta for me.

At billing, the restaurant manager appeared surprised to see a heavy discount being applied and came by to confirm how the reservation had been made. Overall the experience was positive: the buffet was tasty and I saved about INR 160. While that saving is modest for a single diner, groups can enjoy significantly higher savings.
Offers
EazyDiner runs a range of promotions, including 25–50% discounts, 1-for-1 deals, and periodic festivals with deeper discounts. During special campaigns such as an “eat out festival,” the platform has offered 50% off the bill at many restaurants.
For example, had the festival been active when I visited the Aloft buffet, I could have saved 50% instead of 25%. Some campaigns require purchasing a coupon that may cost around INR 100, so factor that into your calculations.

In summary, EazyDiner provides a clean, user-friendly app and valuable offers for diners — the American Express promotion that grants complimentary Prime access is a particularly compelling benefit for eligible cardholders.
