Indian Accent

"Pandya had accepted invitations to dine with several of New Delhi's finest chefs, beginning with the tasting menu at Indian Accent, arguably India's most celebrated restaurant and the country's only inclusion on the World's 100 Best list since 2015."

"This is the third time Indian Accent is at #1 on CNT’s Top Restaurant Awards. #1 on the Top Restaurant Awards 2017 and 2019 list, Indian Accent reinterprets nostalgic Indian dishes with an openness towards global techniques and influences." - ByArundhati Ail

"The 50 best restaurants in the world, the top restaurants in Asia, the best restaurants in India—this elegant eatery has made all those award lists and more, often for several years in a row. Helmed by chef Manish Mehotra—himself a perennial “best chef” winner and MasterChef India judge—Indian Accent first opened at The Manor in 2009, where it quickly garnered acclaim for its modern take on subcontinental cuisine. It moved to The Lodhi hotel in 2017, where—in a striking, contemporary space lined with windows, paneled with mother-of-pearl, and centered around a “floating” glass-box private dining space—the high-quality and creativity has continued to soar. Some dishes skew “new Indian,” while others are more global with an Indian twist; either way, plates are colorful, flavorful, and artfully presented. Don’t miss signature dishes like galautis (kebabs) stuffed with fois gras, pulled pork tacos, butter popcorn upma, and duck khurchan served in a cone and topped with yogurt and chili. Get your carbs on with one of the nine types of bread—some layered with potatoes or Camembert—and wash it down with a “chat” sangria or masala-infused martini. While there are now Indian Accent outposts in New York and London, the Delhi location remains a must-visit—and, as of 2018, is still the one of the only restaurants in India to make all those award lists."
