Celebrated table
The story
Indian Accent, located within The Lodhi on New Delhi's Lodhi Road, has long held a reputation as one of the most ambitious Indian restaurants in the country. Its Wine Spectator Award of Excellence — recognised in 2024 — speaks to a commitment that extends well beyond the kitchen, pairing a thoughtfully constructed wine programme with cooking that takes the breadth of India's culinary heritage seriously.
Housed inside one of Delhi's most refined luxury hotels, the restaurant carries an atmosphere that feels considered without being stiff. The address alone — The Lodhi, Lodhi Road — positions Indian Accent within a part of the city defined by calm, greenery, and a certain unhurried elegance that complements the experience at the table.
The kitchen approaches Indian cuisine with precision and creativity, drawing on regional traditions while finding its own distinct voice. The result is a menu that feels rooted and inventive at once — familiar enough to comfort, surprising enough to hold attention through every course. Both lunch and dinner services are offered, making it a destination for a leisurely afternoon meal or a more occasion-worthy evening.
For anyone serious about exploring what contemporary Indian cooking can be, Indian Accent remains a compelling and well-decorated answer.
