Key facts

Frequently asked questions

Is it good for vegetarians?

Excellent. Vegetarian tasting menus are thoughtfully built, not an afterthought, which is rare at this level. Flag it when reserving so the kitchen plans the full sequence around vegetarian courses.

How do I get there?

It's inside The Lodhi hotel on Lodhi Road. No metro is right outside; Jangpura or JLN Stadium stations are nearby with a short cab ride. Valet parking is available if you drive.

Should I get the tasting menu or a la carte?

The chef's tasting menu is the fullest expression of the kitchen and what most people come for, with optional wine pairings. A la carte exists if you want to sample lightly, but the tasting menu is the signature experience.

Is it worth the price?

For a genuine fine-dining occasion, yes. The cooking is clever and precise, not gimmicky, reinventing Indian dishes with global technique. It's expensive, so treat it as a celebration meal rather than a casual dinner.

What are the timings?

Lunch runs 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM and dinner 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM. Lunch can be slightly easier to book and lighter on the wallet if you choose fewer courses. Both sittings need a reservation.

What's a signature dish?

The blue cheese naan and the various chaat and dessert reinventions are much-loved highlights. Menus rotate seasonally, so trust the kitchen. Tell them about any dietary needs when booking and they'll adapt the courses.

How far ahead should I book?

Weeks, ideally. Indian Accent is consistently ranked among India's and the world's best restaurants, so tables go fast. Reserve by email or phone about a month out for dinner; a small deposit may be required.

Is there a dress code?

Smart-casual to elegant. It's a refined hotel restaurant, so skip shorts and beachwear. You won't need formalwear, but dress the part for a high-end dinner. The room and service match the polish of the food.
