Indian Accent, owned by Old world Hospitality, was first established in New Delhi before transplanting its high-end contemporary Indian concept to New York and late last year, London’s Mayfair. Established in 2009 by Rohit Khattar in March 2017, the group’s New Delhi restaurant was named 78th best restaurant in the world at the World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards in 2017 – the only restaurant in India to be featured. Last year, the group brought its high-end Indian offer to London, with chef Manish Mehrotra bringing his contemporary twist to classic Indian cuisine to Mayfair.
In his 2018 review of Indian Accent, Wine List Confidential’s Douglas Blyde, said: “At Indian Accent, London, Beedle is working with a relatively small selection given the critic pleasing ambitions of the restaurant. Of the 100 bins, ‘every bottle has to be there for a very specific reason. It has to be functional, but inspiring at the same time. For me, it’s all about balance.’ Choice picks of a list whose heart feels inclined towards white wines, include rested Viura (R.Lopez de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva), Au Bon Climat Sanford and Benedict Chardonnay, and Savage White.”
