15 Glorious Years Of Indian Accent

It is one of the few fine dining spots in India that has taken the love for local cuisine to another level. It recently made headlines because Chef Manish Mehrotra, who was associated with Old World Hospitality Group for 24 years, announced a break. In an exclusive chat with Slurrp, he shared, “I started working in 1996 and it's been 28 years plus 3 years of hotel school so it's been 31 years of doing this and since 1996 till now  I don't think I have ever taken such a long break. It was always work, work, work, work.”

Chef Shantanu Mehrotra, Executive Chef at Indian Accent, New Delhi and New York, is credited for curating award-winning menus in the last 15 years. He recently received the Culinary Excellence Award at the Hospitality Horizon Top Chefs Award 2024. If you quickly check out his Instagram, you will witness his lavish creations.
