BEST INNOVATIVE MENU

Indian Accent, New Delhi

The critically acclaimed restaurant of chef Manish Mehrotra showcases inventive Indian cuisine by complementing the flavours and traditions of India with global ingredients and techniques. There is a six-course tasting menu, where each course is paired with a selection of wines from India and across the world. Think fig and goat cheese samosa; malai paneer, asparagus, and squash curry; potato sphere chaat served with white pea mash, and more avantgarde dishes. Housed within The Lodhi, it is a go-to for a luxurious dining experience. indianaccent.com
