Recently visited Indian Accent for a family dinner on the occasion of my birthday. The ambience is elegant and intimate, though it can get a bit quiet. The staff were warm, attentive, and explained every dish beautifully. We went with 2 Non-Veg + 1 Veg Chef’s Tasting Menu. We additional ordered a refreshing Anaar Shikanji, and they kindly comped us the Daulat ki Chaat, which was light, fluffy & phenomenal!
Overall, we really enjoyed the creative flavours and presentation. The tasting menu experience is impressive. The portion sizes were curated excellently as we were completely full with no room left by the end of our dinner.
However, we did find it a tad bit expensive for the overall experience. I’d rate it 4.3/5. Great for special occasions!
Non-Veg Tasting Menu Highlights:
- Potato Chaat, Black Truffle → Okay
- Sea Scallop, XO Balchao, Sanna → Great
- Kolhapuri Chicken, Avocado, Thalipeeth (served like a taco) → Excellent
- Indian Accent Sorbet → The standout dish of the entire menu — refreshing and perfect
- Chicken Keema Roulade, Brown Onion Korma, Hajikame → Fine
- Smoked Duck Biryani → Heavily appetizing and very delicious
- Dal Sultani + Jakhiya & Mint Boondi Raita → Good
- Blue Cheese Naan (from the bread bar) → Very good
- Motichoor Ladoo (pre-dessert) → Good
- Single Origin Manam Chocolate Cake, Basundi, Berries → Amazing, though slightly heavy
- Daulat ki chaat - phenomenal
A great experience from the time I booked the restaurant until we dine. The booking was confirmed within minutes. As I was visiting India and would love to dine with my family to celebrate my son's 16th birthday we choose Indian Accent. The food was delicious, staff was well trained, all the food allergens and special requests were taken care of. The low dim light and really nice decor was lovely. Great choice for drinks to cater for everyone. It's not cheap but it's worth celebrating a special occasion with your family or a special treat for your corporate business clients.
Thanks again for a great experience.
It does put you apart from the other dining experience that we had.
I really like the atmosphere and the customer service this restaurant provides however I’m not a big fan of the taste of the food what provided especially when it comes to authentic Indian Taste It’s good for fusion food.
We made a reservation a while back and finally had an excellent dinner here. We had the chef's tasting menu and all the dishes were good. The custard apple cream dessert was especially tasty.
They also have a la carte menu.
