Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has often expressed her love for India and Indian food. In one of her old interviews, Hillary Clinton had stated that she is attracted to India. She said “There is something about the dynamism, the dedication to democracy, the commitment... It is inspiring. I can't express the feelings in my heart that makes me very happy to be here... I love the food! It is a place where I feel comfortable.".
Hillary Clinton recently visited India and dined at one of the most popular restaurants in the capital. She had an ‘Inventive Indian meal’. Can you guess which restaurant we are talking about? It’s the Indian Accent. A picture was shared through the Instagram handle of Indian Accent in which Hillary Clinton was seen posing with the restaurant's Culinary Director Chef Manish Mehrotra. The post was captioned as “It was an honour to welcome @hillaryclinton to #IndianAccentDelhi for an #inventiveindian meal. Seen here with our Culinary Director, @chefmanishmehrotra.
