Tongue-in-cheek restaurant names in Kolkata, India

I wasn't sure if this should be posted in general chit-chat, or can pass off as 'street photography'. There are photographs in the post, and while the quality of the (cell phone) photographs is questionable, there is a human interest angle. On the latter point, I observed the most potty-mouthed restaurant name when traveling in a cab and did not even have time to pull out my cell phone to take a pic - so went to their Web site and took a screenshot of the board. The others are my own shots.

Regarding the word play, while the Hindi word 'chai' for tea has been globalized by Starbucks. the term 'barishh' maybe unfamiliar to most non-Hindi speakers. it means rain, as in "it was raining beer and wine."
