Indian Accent is not a newcomer to acclaims and applause. Nestled in the heart of New Delhi, this gem of a restaurant has, for the third time, clinched the top spot at the Condé Nast Traveller Top Restaurant Awards. It's not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of innovative culinary arts where traditional Indian flavors are reimagined, giving birth to a contemporary dining experience that lingers in the memory long after the meal is over.
But this story of culinary artistry doesn't end in the enchanting corridors of Indian Accent. A hop, skip, and jump away in the scenic landscapes of Goa, Bomras carves out its niche, claiming the number two spot on the coveted list. The eatery’s revival in Anjuna has seen it flourish, bringing a seamless blend of Burmese, Vietnamese, and Thai flavors to the table. Each dish is a melodious symphony of tastes that dances gracefully on the palate.
Masque in Mumbai is another name that has etched its signature in the annals of India’s gastronomic scene. Positioned at a proud third in the ranking, Masque is an odyssey of flavors, a journey that takes you through the verdant forests of Kashmir to the golden shores of Goa. Every season sees a new menu, a fresh narrative of India's diverse culinary traditions, morphing homegrown ingredients into exquisite, fine-dining manifestations.
This year marked the grand return of the CNT Top Restaurant Awards after a pause induced by the global lockdowns. It unveiled an eclectic mix of classic and new entrants, each echoing the dynamic shifts and evolution in India’s dining patterns. Mumbai emerged as a star, boasting twelve restaurants that weave a narrative of the city’s diverse and rich culinary offerings. Veronica’s entrance into the top 10 is emblematic of a dining culture that is as rooted in tradition as it is in forward-thinking innovation.
Indian Accent stands as a testament to the inventive spirit of Indian cuisine. Its Chef’s Tasting menu is a handpicked curation of dishes that are iconic, each telling a story of India’s gastronomic heritage interlaced with global influences. Bomras, with its signature dishes like the tea leaf salad and smoked pork fried rice, captures the essence of diverse Asian cuisines, presenting a dining experience that transcends borders. Masque, under the adept hands of Chef Varun Totlani and the visionary entrepreneur Aditi Dugar, transforms hyperlocal ingredients into masterpieces, marrying tradition and innovation.
In these top restaurants, every dish, every flavor, is an ode to India’s vast culinary landscape. They are more than dining spaces; they are experiential journeys that cater to the soul, offering not just food but a holistic experience. From the artful presentation of dishes at Indian Accent to the innovative flavors of Bomras and the seasonal narratives of Masque, each restaurant embodies a unique chapter of India’s rich culinary tale.
As we applaud their achievements, let’s not just celebrate the art of fine dining but also acknowledge the passionate individuals, the chefs, the restaurateurs, and the entire teams who breathe life into these establishments, making them iconic landmarks in India’s culinary journey.
