이 레스토랑의 이름은 '분야디(Bunyadi)'로 ‘자연'이라는 의미를 가진 힌디어에서 가져왔다.
레스토랑은 옷을 착용하는 공간과 누드로 식사할 수 있는 공간으로 구분되어 있다.
탈의실에 옷과 소지품을 보관한 고객들은 누드 공간으로 들어갈 수 있다.
하지만 카메라나 휴대전화 사용은 불가능하다.
현재 1만5,800명이 예약을 한 것으로 알려졌다.
이와 비슷한 유형의 레스토랑이 이미 뉴욕에 개점한 바 있다.

If there’s one person qualified to tout the benefits of dining in the nude, it’s Seb Lyall.
The London restaurateur, known for opening some of the city’s most innovative dining concepts, eats his breakfast bare-bottomed each morning — assuming he’s not cooking with hot oil.
“It’s liberating,” he told The Washington Post. “It’s fun and sometimes the neighbors watch — fine, whatever.
“It’s my home and my space, and that’s kind of the space we’re trying to create in the restaurant — our own little space. It will be fascinating what the response is.”
The space he’s was talking about is the Bunyadi, a clothing-optional, pop-up restaurant scheduled to open in London in June.
The response, Lyall said, has been overwhelming, with a waiting list more than 16,000 names long. Lyall said he expects the number to soar in the coming months.
The idea behind the restaurant sounds simple: Create a dining experience that is stripped of modern, industrialized impurities, such as artificial colors, chemicals and gas, metal and plastic in the kitchen and electric lights, smartphones and clothing in the dining area.
Lyall calls his Luddite-inspired dream “true liberation,” one that is designed with body positivity, and acceptance, in mind. He maintains that the restaurant is not a bunch of guys trying to create naked dining for attention, but more of a nudist social experiment that aims to give people a space to challenge their assumptions about nudity, modernity and what kind of behavior we consider natural.
In essence, he claims, consuming food in public sans clothing is “an act of rebellion.”
“When you get a chance, you take your clothes off,” he told The Post. “When you get in bed, you take your clothes off. cWhen you go to the beach or a sauna, you take your clothes off. It’s natural.”
“There is a whole business of victimizing people based on body image, but we are making a business out of correcting it,” he added.
