the $135 tasting menu after much consideration (and knowing my boyfriend was paying ). I knew I was going to like this bc I love Indian food lol. However because Indian food has complex flavors in general, I feel like fancy chefs tasting version was less impressive than other cuisines (bc Indian food is already sho good lol). Still this was really delicious, like legit the best Indian food I've ever had for sure for sure. Some notes on food: - pumpkin & coconut shorba SOOOOO GOOD... i've had starter broths and consummes but this was probably my favorite, it was warm and hearty and flavorful. - jackfruit: decided to give this a try and it was most definitely worth the try.... not sure how tf they cooked this but it was so good - lobster tail: cooked to perfection but more importantly the sago and the sauce were very delicious. i told sam he could have most of da lobster but i just wanted more sauce - then when I was thinking i was pretty full they gave us these 4 dishes. the naan(??) was just ok a lil too doughy but holy the dal moradabadi was so good just on its own too - makhan malai: SO FAT AND HUGE AND JIGGLY LOL. at first the saffron & cardamom flavors were a little too sudden but it grew on me almost instantly and the texture is actually godly like so airy and soft and whipped as hell. I could've had another fat bowl of it but also it was comical how much they gave lol. read more

Very good food. Interesting Indian dishes and for the quality and quantity, the 3 courses is pretty fair pricing and also definitely enough food for 2 people. The starters were the pumpkin soup and the blue cheese naan. The soup was very yummy and had a nice flavor. The blue cheese naan was very potent. For the starters we chose the tofu and the potato sphere. The tofu was crispy and had a really nice texture. Never had tofu like that before. The potato sphere was also super interesting. I wish it had a filling though. The middle dish we got was the yogurt kebab. The texture of the yogurt was very interesting. The sauce was pretty spicy but again another dish that was super interesting. For mains we got the lamb and the paneer. The paneer texture was good and the sauce was very yummy as well. The lamb was very tender and was very delicious. The roti it came with was also so soft and delicious. The green chutneys were my favorite. The chicken kulcha and black daals were also good. Personally loved the black daal and the garlic naan the most. I think these two dishes could have had more flavor. For dessert we had the black rice cake with the rice pudding. The black rice cake flavor wasn't my favorite. The rice pudding was great. They also surprised us with an extra birthday dessert which was the saffron foam dessert. I really liked this one and the flavor was super interesting. Service was great all night. The only thing throwing me off was the b health rating. If you're looking for an upscale Indian restaurant to celebrate something this one is great. read more

Went in for brunch on a Saturday and had the whole restaurant to ourselves for the first 30 minutes - only 3 other tables came in the whole time. Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday. $46 for a 2-course brunch is a great deal for an elevated meal, especially since the two courses come with a side ("accompaniment"). Quick heads up if you've been to the original in New Delhi, while they share a name, the New York experience pales in comparison. New Delhi is a full tasting menu with bold, unique flavors and presentation. New York is much more westernized, a fusion fit for the American palate. Service was consistent throughout, though not the most helpful when it came to menu questions - don't expect much guidance if you're trying to decide between dishes. They start you off with a tiny mug of pumpkin soup, creamy and delicious. The burrata comes as a big ball of cheese with crispy lotus root for scooping. The dal with naan as your accompaniment is a generous portion and the dal is beautifully flavored. The tawa paneer has a lovely presentation but the flavor didn't stand out. Coorg black pork was moist and paired perfectly with the cracklings. Best part of the meal was the Truman Bazaar cocktail - Truman vodka, suze, and tomato foam. Sweet, bitter, and spicy all at once - a genuinely unique combination. read more

Found this place on the internet and so glad we visited it. There is street parking and some garages around the area. We made an reservation about 1-2 weeks prior. The service here is great, very appropriate for an upscale restaurant. The environment was open and quiet as well. We got the 4 course menu and it was a lot of food, very worth the money. The flavors were amazing! The chef's special was tiny naan stuffed with blue cheese and it tasted so unique. We loved the dumplings and the taco. Every other dish after that was filled with flavor and spices. The bone marrow was the fullest marrow I've ever had and it was so delicious. Honestly this place exceeded my expectations and it is so nice to have found an elegant Indian restaurant near us, cannot wait to re-visit! read more

The best Indian food ever!!!! I highly recommend for anyone who visit New York, you should not miss out!! Faham was outstanding manager. He was very polite and welcoming host. For sure we will be back. Thank you Faham. read more

TLDR: Creative, modern Indian fusion dining with standout service and a fun prix fixe experience - mixed dish hits, but worth it (get the butter chicken kulcha!!) I believe there are other Indian Accent locations in India, and was excited to try their NYC spot. We went on a weekend evening around 5pm and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Nice ambiance inside, didn't feel overly packed where we were sitting. Service was great for the most part. Shane, our main server, stood out and he was SUPER helpful in walking us through the menu and making thoughtful suggestions. That said, it's definitely a team-service setup, so multiple staff members will assist your table throughout the meal. Everyone had great energy and made the experience feel polished. We did the prix fixe menu and went with 3 courses each across our group of 3. Two of us opted for the "midis" and one went for dessert, but we ended up sharing everything. Even though the portions initially seem small, we were surprisingly full by the end. One important note: go into this with an open mindset. This is not your typical, "generic" Indian food experience - it's much more modern, creative, and experimental. We did a lot of research before deciding what to order, so here's what we got/ordered: Amuse bouche (complimentary): A pumpkin shorba (soup) served in a cute little cup and blue cheese naan. Both were a great start, and we actually asked for more of the shorba. They said they'd bring it, but it never came, which was a bit disappointing, but still appreciated the palate cleanser concept. Appetizers (ordered 3): * Phulka jackfruit: Kind of like a taco - really nice flavor with these crispies on it and a nice sauce. * Kashmiri morel mushrooms: I'm not usually a mushroom person, but this was excellent. Loved the creamy base and overall flavor. * Potato sphere chaat: Probably the weakest of the three. It was more sev than potato, and didn't quite hit for me. Midis (ordered 2): * Yogurt kebab: Very interesting texture with a nice chutney base * Sweet pickle pork: I didn't personally try it, but the other two in my group loved it Mains (ordered 3): * Sweet corn vadai: Really unique and flavorful - one of the standouts * Paneer kofta: Not my favorite; different from what I expected * Chicken tikka meatballs: Surprisingly good! I don't usually love meatballs, but these had a great texture and flavor Accompaniments (ordered 3): * Butter chicken kulcha: Easily my favorite - would come back just for this, but note it can be a little "greasy" * Daal with black garlic naan: The naan was unique with a slightly sweet taste; the daal could've used a bit more depth * Chana masala kulcha: A little spicy but still very flavorful Dessert (ordered 1 + 1 complimentary): * Banana sticky date cake: A lovely, satisfying end to the meal * Makhan malai (complimentary for a birthday in our group): Very airy and unique texture - not really for us personally, but appreciate the team supporting our birthday celebration We skipped drinks even though the menu is extensive - we wanted to focus on the food Overall, I really liked this place. The dishes were a mix - nothing was outright bad (except maybe the makhan malai for our taste), but not everything was a hit either. Still, it's a fun, elevated dining experience with creative takes on Indian cuisine. I'd definitely go back, especially for the butter chicken kulcha. Only real miss was the forgotten re-order of the amuse bouche, but otherwise service and vibes were strong. read more

Indian Accent is an upscale and fancy Indian restaurant that serves unique and lavish dishes. My friend and I each ordered a tasting menu and split eight courses total. I wanted to preface this review by stating that this is the first time I've had fancy Indian food, so I don't have a baseline to compare it with. Appetizers Potato sphere chaat: my friend and I didn't really like this dish, to be honest neither of us are big into pea mash so it kind of makes sense. 2.5/5 Lamb dahi vada: this was rather enjoyable, the lamb was well cooked and the sauce and mixins added flavor to each bite. 4/5 Mid-courses Smoked eggplant bharta cornet: I thought this was decent, the smoked eggplant had nice flavor and the cornet was crunchy and complemented the fillings reasonably well. 3.5/5 Sweet pickle pork ribs: these were fantastic! The sweet pickle sauce was tangy and flavorful and the meat was super tender and fell right off the bone. 5/5 Accompaniments Chana masala kulcha & butter chicken kulcha: for both of these the naan bread was super fluffy and I thought the oil used was not too heavy and brought out the flavor in the bread. I enjoyed the butter chicken filling more than the Chana masala but both were reasonably delicious. 4.5/5 Mains Chicken malai tikka: I was a bit underwhelmed by this dish, I thought the sauce didn't really complement the chicken well and I also didn't really enjoy the texture of the chicken. 3.5/5 Ghee roast lamb: definitely the highlight of the meal! The roast lamb was super tender and I thought the curry went really well with the lamb. We also added the roti pancakes for $10 - I'm not sure if the cucumbers and other sauces come already included with the dish but if not then I highly recommend adding these for an extra $10 because the roti with the extra sauces and lamb were delicious together. 5/5 Desserts Makhan malai: was not a fan of this dessert, it kind of tasted like a weird foam that had a weird flavor. The presentation was great though. 3/5 Doda barfi treacle tart: the tart was quite good. The sugar nicely balanced out the tart flavor without being too overwhelming, and the coldness of the ice cream was a nice addition to the flavor. 4.5/5 Overall, Indian Accent is a good place to try if you enjoy Indian food and want something a bit fancier than normal curries and biryanis. For me though, I don't think the portions or quality of the food could actively justify another visit given the high price point at $100+/pp before tax and tip. 4.1/5 read more

The place has a very pleasant atmosphere and is very well located. We ordered the tasting menu which was slightly pricy but it was a great alternative to get to try different dishes if you don't know what to get. If you are familiar with the menu I would recommend ordering yourself, but if you want to just lay back and enjoy whatever the chef has picked out, it won't disappoint. The service was good. Very attentive and good recommendations. I only wish they would have explained our dishes in a bit more detail since I didn't know much about the food and the ingredients. My favorite dish was the lamb from the tasting menu and the lobster was also very enjoyable. I forgot to add a picture of the second dessert which was a twist on a pecan pie, I really enjoyed it. This other almond dessert was also really enjoyable and it has a very interesting airy texture that almost dissolves in your mouth. As for the rest of the tasting menu, there wasn't any dish that I didn't enjoy. I think the dishes were always very unique and flavorful but no other dish apart from the ones mentioned really stole the show or was worth reordering. I would honestly stick to ordering yourself and maybe asking for some recommendations. read more

We were craving Indian food and I remembered I had this spot saved for a while, so we decided to come for brunch! First off, the service was 100/10- extremely friendly, professional, and just overall some of the best service I've had in a restaurant. Ambiance was very airy and luxe-- perfect to come for brunch with the family or for date night. We both ordered the brunch 2-course menu. Note that they don't serve the typical curry-esque Indian food for brunch. - Burrata chaat: 10/10 (i am a sucker for burrata and I am also a sucker for anything chaat so this was a match made in heaven. The sauce was super flavorful and the burrata was fresh. The portion size was humongous too-- I was lowkey full by the end of my first dish.) - Sweet pickle pork ribs: 10/10 (the pork is extremely soft and flavorful. Smaller portion size though, especially compared to the burrata chaat) - Beef chili: 7.5/10 (definitely tastes like beef chili + a touch of Indian spices. It was a bit toooo salty for my liking though) - Curry leaf lamb uttapam: 8.5/10 (we were lowkey expecting a curry but we were surprised to see that it was an omelette! Very flavorful though) - Butter chicken kulcha: 100/10 (tbh my fav dish that I got-- even though this was only an accompaniment. It's like a butter chicken masala mini sandwich with naan on top.) - Garlic naan: 10/10 (good classic naan) read more

Wow. The black garlic naan was may the best naan I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. The dal makhni that came with it was the best dal I've ever had. I couldn't get enough of the sweet pickle ribs. The treacle tart went perfectly with the ice cream. Service was friendly. I would maybe even go back tomorrow if this wasn't my last night in New York! read more

The ambiance is great for special occasions. the service feels on par with Michelin-star restaurants. The staff is very attentive and friendly. My group of 4 chose the $135 tasting menu. After each course, multiple staff (sometimes 4) came over to swiftly clear our plates and silverware. 3 things that were notably excellent service: - When we were first seated, the staff checked if we had theater plans, given we were in the theater district. We did not, but the party in front of us mentioned they did have theater plans, so the staff said they would make sure dinner was wrapped up by [insert the time they wanted to head out]. - For the last savory course, we were all so full that we didn't finish everything, and the staff offered to wrap it up for us - We were not rushed at all throughout the meal. We enjoyed the tasting menu and were there for an hour and a half. At one point, one of my colleagues had to take a work call for about 15 minutes, and the staff checked in if we were done with the course, if we wanted to wait for our colleague or if we wanted the next course, in a way that gave no pressure. Many times at these tasting menus or high end restaurants, it can be apparent they are focused on the table turnover. But here they really let us enjoy our meal and catch up, and didn't rush to clear our plates even if we were taking a bit longer on a certain course. The food itself was very good. I was impressed with all the courses. The appetizers/small bites were VERY yum as well as the lobster tail. I was WAY too full at the point we got the last savory dish that came with 4 different dishes and paratha... but also nothing in that course stood out to me enough that I was willing to overeat for it anyway. While the seasoning for the lamb chops was good, they had a tough consistency. These two comments on the food make me feel drawn to giving the 4 instead of 5 rating. I loveddd the treacle tart that ended the experience. It reminded me of pecan pie. read more

What a gem! I've been to Indian Accent New Delhi and so was quite eager to try it out here in Manhattan. However, we never really got to it, having been busy exploring the Semmas and Bungalows of the city. On a cold Saturday evening my partner and I decided to give Indian Accent a shot - got rather last minute reservations over the phone. They were kind enough to accommodate us for a 7 pm slot, and once we got there we were seated immediately. We chose the four course menu, and found each course to be better than the one before! The shorba (soup) and garlic kulcha amuse bouche was a nice touch to get things started - loved the tiny terracotta mugs. Proceeded onto the shakarkandi chaat and the chilly pork roti - the former reminding me of the delectable street food in Delhi winters with the latter being a very good Indian rif on birria tacos. The star of the show for me was the Tofu medu vada - so unique and flavorful and melt in the mouth! I've not had anything quite like it before. My partner had the wagyu kebab that he said was excellent! For mains we had the chicken malai and the paneer - both tasty, but by this point we were already so full, and had to get most of the mains to go. But because there's always room for dessert, for our final course we scarfed down doda barfi with ice-cream and sticky toffee banana pudding - both of which were finger licking delish! Our service was great too - Ty our server was so nice and had the best recommendations. I'd have never gone for the tofu medu vada among all the other options and he urged me to, and it really turned out to be the highlight of my meal. The cocktails were good too. All in all, I think this is such a nice upscale Indian dining spot for a night out in the city. Having tried most of the other trending newer spots, i think Indian Accent sits right among the top! I'd highly recommend and cannot wait to be back! read more

We came here for brunch with our 10 year old son. The menu is a course menu, so make sure you are happy with the options provided for the time. The service was amazing and very attentive. The brunch started with cheese naan and soup, which was delicious. I chose the following for my course menu: - Papdi Chaat : this was delicious. Loved the flavors and crispness of the chaat. - Herb Sago Pancake : my son got this and I tasted it. It was amazing. Loved the flavors of Sago. - Potato Kofta Curry : this was so good. I ate it with the naan, but just the plain curry was great too. - Uttapam : my son had the uttapam. It was ok. Not a fan of mushrooms in the uttapam. - Black daal with naan : yummy. - Makhan Malai : this is their signature dessert. I'm generally not a big fan of malai, but the dessert tasted very light and good. - Doda Barfi with tart : this was better than the Malai Makhan for me. Overall, a great place for Indian food with a twist. You don't get the traditional dishes, and I love the creativity of the items. Highly recommend it. Just be aware it's a course menu. read more

This is a very nice restaurant. It is like a high end Indian restaurant. The food was very interesting and most of it is pretty good. The menu is a little bit difficult to understand if you are not a native to Indian food. The staff is very helpful in explaining what everything is. However their recommendations were not so great. First off the complimentary soup was delicious. The dish had goat cheese. Not a big fan of goat cheese. The appetizer - sweet potato shakarkandi starfruit crispy okra was good. The only thing I didn't like was the red sauce on top of the starfruit. Mid-course - sweet pickle pork ribs sun-dried mango onion seed- meat falls off the bone and the sauce is delicious. Other notable mention is the eggplant bharta cornet and bone marrow. Main - beef tenderloin Kashmiri apricot mirchi korma leafy greens (staff recommended) was not good at all. I didn't like the sauce and the beef was dry. The leafy greens were too chewy. I would not recommend this. Red snapper would have been a better choice. Accompaniment - black dairy dal with naan is really good. The black garlic naan is my favorite. The chicken kulcha is also good. Dessert - makhan malai saffron milk rose petal jaggery brittle, almond. I got this beside the pictures looks really nice. This is light foam dessert. It was very interesting. If you like the taste of saffron you would like this. However their best dessert is the banana sticky cake. read more

This place is basically omakase, but for Indian/Asian fusion! I'll be honest, I was definitely doubtful if this place was worth the $100 per person, but I left 100% confident that it was. Each dish was so meticulously planned, with such unique flavor that it left me wanting more no matter what I chose. These are all preplanned dishes, and you get to choose which combination you want depending on if you select 3 course or 4 course. At the start, they give you an appetizer on the house, which is some warm pumpkin soup blend with blue cheese naan bites on the side. I was super doubtful at first, but this was so good. I had to ask for seconds! As for the main dishes, I would highly recommend getting the Daal with Black Garlic Naan! This is a must get, it was absolutely delicious. The chili crab was also very surprising. Everything was very unique and had hints of Chinese, and Indian fusion. I was very pleasantly surprised and I would definitely come back. It takes a lot for me to be full, and I left Indian accent super satisfied. This place deserves 5 stars not only for the food, but excellent service as well read more

Indian Accent in Midtown is one of the best Indian restaurants in NYC featuring innovative Indian cooking. We came for brunch which features a starter course, second course and accompaniment. They offered an amuse bouche to start the meal which was cheese filled dumpling and broth. We ordered the pao bhaji with ricotta vada and lime leaf butter pao, dried fenugreek papdi chaat, and sweet pickle pork ribs to start. For the second course we all had the uttapam filled with curry leaf lamb with sides of black garlic naan. The food was elegantly presented, generously portioned and delicious. We have often left brunch in NYC feeling underwhelmed and still-hungry, but our experience at Indian Accent was quite the opposite. We were super impressed by all the dishes and were stuffed by the end of our meal. We can't wait to come back for lunch or even dinner when the occasion presents itself read more

Elevated, orchestrated, unforgettable. I'd return just to eat what I missed. Indian Accent doesn't just elevate Indian food--it puts it in a tailored suit, hands it a glass of whisky neat, and tells it not to apologize. Before we even ordered, we got a welcome bite: mini blue cheese naan (I hate blue cheese and still liked it) and a warm pumpkin & coconut shorba shot. Like a hug, if hugs had depth and spice. We started with the Lamb Dahi Vada, topped with raw green tomato--unexpected, a little crunchy, and a great contrast to the softness below. Elegant but earthy. Then the Wagyu Pathar Kebab with Bone Marrow. It was bold, smoky, and rich... though the marrow left me wanting more. (Like being handed one line of poetry and told to imagine the rest.) Main course: Branzino with Patrani Butter and Berry Pulao. Perfect texture. Light, flavorful, and way more complex than it first appears. Also had the Black Dal with Black Garlic Naan--comfort food, but dressed for a black-tie event. For dessert: Banana Sticky Cake with Coconut Jaggery Ice Cream--not too sweet, perfectly balanced. Just... right. From other plates around the table: - Ghee Roast Lamb with Roomali Roti Pancakes: like a bao situation, but Indian. Loved it. - Makhan Malai: airy, floral, elegant. Like saffron had a dream and floated away. Service was excellent--attentive but not intrusive, plates cleared with perfect rhythm. If you're expecting street food or heat-for-the-sake-of-heat, this isn't that. This is high-concept Indian--refined, plated like art, and full of unexpected turns. read more

I dined at Indian Accent this evening and was blown away. We did not have a reservation and they were very busy. Nevertheless, the gracious hostess went out of her way to secure us a spot at the bar. We then tucked into some of the most delicious, creative Indian cuisine I've ever had, coupled with sensational cocktails made my a talented and very welcoming bartender. Standouts were the sweet corn and paneer entree. Amazing from star to finish. Highly recommend!! read more

Beautiful room and a few good bites, but not worth the price I normally avoid Midtown hotel-adjacent restaurants because they can feel built more for visitors than for New Yorkers, but it was late, we wanted somewhere nice, and Indian Accent looked like a good option. To be fair, the evening started well. The room is beautiful, quiet, and comfortable. The maître d' was excellent and offered to seat us at a better table if we were willing to wait a few minutes, which we appreciated. Some of the support staff were also genuinely warm and helpful. Unfortunately, the overall experience was very uneven. We started at the bar with a martini and a cosmo, and both drinks arrived looking barely half full. At this price point, that felt ridiculous. A helpful barback gave us good guidance on the menu, which was appreciated, but the drinks were a disappointing first impression. Later, when we ordered another round, we specifically asked if they could fill the glasses properly, even if it cost more. They did, and it did cost more, but at least the drinks then felt like a real serving. At dinner, we chose the chef's tasting menu. There were some highlights. The lamb taco was fantastic, and the naan we ordered on the side was excellent. But much of the meal did not live up to the setting or the price. The dipping sauce was pleasant but bland, and when we asked for something spicier, we were told they could not really adjust it, though they did bring a spicy chutney. It was fine, but it did not really pair with the dish. The service from our main waiter was one of the biggest disappointments. He was not overtly rude, but he did the bare minimum and seemed unhappy throughout the meal. At one point, he simply disappeared without saying he was leaving, introducing another server, or explaining that someone else would be taking over. It felt very odd and unprofessional. The servers and bus staff were much nicer, but at this level, the main service experience should feel polished, attentive, and engaged. The biggest issue with the food was execution. My partner's scallop was fairly tasteless, though the shrimp were good. My lamb chops were okay, but nothing special, and one was surprisingly fatty. The most disappointing dish was the lobster, which was undercooked in the center, translucent, and not enjoyable. We left a good portion of it on the plate, and no one asked if anything was wrong, which was surprising at a restaurant operating at this price point. The meal was not a disaster, and there were a few genuinely good moments, especially the room, the maître d', the naan, and the lamb taco. But for a bill that came to over $400, the experience should have been much more consistent. Between the half-filled cocktails, indifferent service, uneven dishes, and undercooked lobster, I would not return and would not recommend it for a special night out. read more

We have always loved Indian Accent. As a family, it has been our must-visit every time we travel from California, and over the years it has set a very high bar for Indian fine dining. Sadly, our Christmas dinner experience tonight fell far short of what Indian Accent is known for. Service was disorganized from the start--servers were unsure about the dishes they were presenting, entrees were delivered to the wrong guests, and incorrect dishes arrived at the table. The flow of the evening never quite recovered. The food itself was uneven. The first course was acceptable, but thereafter the experience steadily declined, with the notable exception of the Kashmiri pulao, which reminded us of the quality we've come to expect here. None of the other dishes truly shone or justified the reputation this restaurant rightly enjoys. For an evening that cost approximately $600, the experience should have been seamless, memorable, and special--particularly on Christmas. Unfortunately, it was none of those things. This is a scathing review, but a necessary one. Indian Accent is a restaurant loved by many, ourselves included, and that is precisely why this experience was so disappointing. We sincerely hope this was an off day and not a reflection of a broader decline, because we want nothing more than to return to the Indian Accent we have cherished for years. read more

My post-birthday dinner spent with husband and daughter, was lovely. At 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, the dining room was quiet. By 9:00 the place was jumpin'. The menu is described as "inventive Indian cuisine using global ingredients and techniques." One can choose the three or four course prix fixe. We shared dishes, enabling us to sample so much more! It's important to savor each bite, and even with small portions we had leftovers. Everything, starting with the amuse bouche, was perfect. The only dish not as well-received, was the tenderloin. If vacillating about your main, go with the branzino. Indian Accent's wine list is 20+ pages. The sommelier, a lovely woman respectful of our budget, recommended a wonderful red. I'll add that everyone in the restaurant was gracious and helpful. Indian Accent isn't necessarily the best restaurant I've gone to, but a smidge under five stars, it's worthy of excellent reviews. read more

We swung by Indian Accent to try the brunch menu. We had a prior reservation and were seated immediately. We started off with some complimentary blue cheese naan bites with spiced pumpkin soup. I am not a fan of blue cheese but the naan bites didn't taste very overpowering and the soup balanced out the taste well. We started with our first course wherein we ordered the sago pancake and the burrata chaat. The burrata chaat was out of this world, loved the soft burrata paired with the familiar chutneys and crunchy lotus root chips. The sago pancake was good too, with the butter on top and the whipped feta dressing, although I thought that the whipped feta was a bit overpowering. For our next course, we ordered the uttappam and the millet khichadi. Both were really good! Loved the buttery uttappam with the mushrooms stuffed inside and the khichdi was very comforting. We got the black dairy daal and black garlic naan as our first accompaniment and the chana masala stuffed kulcha as the second accompaniment. The black dairy daal was out of this world. So hearty and flavorful! The chana masala stuffed kulcha was also interesting. Overall, the food was great. The service was great too! Our server was very attentive and gave great suggestions. We always had our water glasses full too and they switched out the cutlery after every course. The ambience, however was very simple which is a pattern that I have noticed amongst Michelin star Indian restaurants in general and I find that odd. I honestly thought the bathroom was really well decorated though :p I loved my experience here but I didn't really feel like I was dining at a Michelin star restaurant, it felt like I was at an upscale Indian restaurant. read more

I can always appreciate good Indian food and can say we enjoyed our dinner here. We had reservation for a weekend dinner and service was overall friendly and helpful. We liked the food and the fine dining Indian cuisine. Lots of different flavors that came through the spices with each meal uniquely special and separate from another. Intimate spot that's dimly lit and definitely has that upscale restaurant energy. If you like Indian food, I'd say this place is worth a try for sure. read more

This was an interesting chance to try some fusion Indian food that's more aligned with western fine dining. My friends and I each had the three course lunch. All the dishes were tasty and beautifully presented. - First Course - Pao bhaji - incredible. The bread was fluffy and buttery with subtle herbal flavor, and the curry was warm and spicy. The ricotta vada added nice textural contrast. Shakarkhandi - subtle sweet and sour flavors with a starchy sweet potato, and nice crunch from the okra. I wasn't expecting this dish to be cold, but it was otherwise fine. Tofu vadai - a bit soft for my taste, but great presentation. Probably the best looking dish in my opinion. - Main Course - Potato kofta - the kofta have a breadcrumb coating which gives it a crispier texture than what you'd see at a typical Indian restaurant. The choice to serve it over khadi (sour yogurt based curry) instead of the standard cashew and cream based gravy was unexpected, but good. Uttapam - I'm vegetarian, so I didn't try this. - Side Dishes - Chana masala kulcha - probably my favorite part of the meal, even though it was just a side. The bread is fluffy and stuffed with a spicy, rich chana masala. The bread is hearty and can basically be eaten on its own. Don't miss it! Raita - more or less standard, though I've never seen avocado in raita before. Not bad, but not special. Sesame vegetables - a nice side dish, but nothing special. It's stir fried vegetables with a sesame paste based sauce. - Dessert - Doda barfi - absolutely delicious warm tart with heavy toffee like flavor, paired with a light ice cream and crunchy bits on top. This was a top contender for my favorite part of the meal as well and definitely stepped up the whole experience. Cheesecake and kheer - this was the dairy free dessert option. The flavors are nice and light, and nothing is too sweet. Banana sticky cake - a nice warm banana bread. The ice cream has a unique flavor from the jaggery, and I really enjoyed it. The restaurant was fantastic about handling dietary restrictions. After tax and tip, the meal worked out to about $68, which is worth it for the experience. read more

Dining at Indian Accent was a beautifully curated journey through modern Indian cuisine. I had the Chef's Tasting Menu, and every course was thoughtfully crafted, starting with blue cheese naan and pumpkin & coconut shorba--unexpected yet comforting. Standouts included the lobster tail with Amritsari masala butter, crispy tilefish with raw mango curry, and tender tandoori lamb chops bursting with flavor. Even the sides--like dal moradabadi with chur chur paratha and spiced baby potatoes--were full of character. Desserts were unforgettable, especially the makhan malai and doda barfi tart. Service was warm and attentive, and the optional wine pairing was a great match. I think I caught a glimpse of Chef Kapoor that night--he looked busy, but I'd love to say hi in person next time! Highly recommend for anyone seeking refined, imaginative Indian cuisine. read more

The food was good. Nice presentation, some creative dishes, and good flavor profiles. We had the tasting menu and would have appreciated better portion balance across the courses. A favorite course was the spicy curries presented two ways. Really nice dishes, but very small. Our least favorite course was 10x the portion size of the curry dishes. I would have loved a few more bites of the curry and less of the other course (which carries dramatically lower food costs). Service for this level of experience was 3* at best. Primary waitress was inattentive. Other staff was on top of things. The space is very nice. Spacious and inviting. Enjoyed it, but won't be back due to the cost of the experience. read more

Don't want to give any star. I had a reservation at Indian Accent to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and was looking forward to a memorable evening. Instead, I left deeply disappointed by the lack of hospitality. While restaurants have every right to enforce policies, if this establishment is so strict about not allowing children under 10, that policy should be clearly highlighted in bold on their website and made unmistakably visible during the reservation process not tucked away after booking confirmation on Opentable or overshadowed by promotional offers on the website. I was turned away because I had a 8 year old. What was most upsetting was not just the policy, but how it was handled-- Manager Jerry handled this with no empathy, no courtesy, and no sense of hospitality. At the heart of running any restaurant is making guests feel welcomed and respected. Sadly, that was completely missing, and what should have been a special celebration instead left a bitter impression. What hurt most wasn't the rule, but how little humanity there was in handling it. In our culture we say Atithi Devo Bhava--the guest is like God. Hospitality should never lose that meaning and I believe Hospitality is the most fundamental principle taught in any hotel management school but this restaurant clearly failed. read more

Today was a gala day. With a friend visiting from the West Coast who wanted to eat at not one but three Indian restaurants how could I not agree to break bread with her? This was Shobha's first time eating here. I had eaten here at least four times. We both had the three course tasting menu for $56. An amuse of tiny blue cheese naans accompanied by a coconut and pumpkin shorba was given. The naan was tender, chewy and sharp in flavor. Both of us had the Sweet Pickle Pork Ribs which Pete Wells, former New York Times food critic, wrote that this dish could not be removed from the menu. Shobha ordered the Tandoori Lamb Chops, Black Dal and Kashmiri Morel Pullao. She had ordered a kulcha which was not given sonthe rice was perfect with the dal. Chicken Tikka Meatballs with my favorite garlic nan were my choices. We shared some of the dishes and enjoyed the cuisine. The dessert of Makhan Malai, Saffron Milk and Rose Petals resembled a fluff of air. Similar to a soufflé, this was both creamy and light and perfect as we both were feeling rather stuffed. Service was unobtrusive and professional. The wine list was extensive but we chose water. The restroom was pretty with a lovely black and white floor. read more

Can I get a HOLY SHIT in here?!! One of the best meals I've had in my LIFE. My friends and I were celebrating a birthday and heard they take the CEO of our company to the India location of this restaurant when he visits so of course we gotta try it for ourselves. A reservation for 4 for a Monday night was easy to get a few weeks ahead of time. They offer a 3 or 4 course tasting menu (I'm not sure if they offer a la carte items). Definitely go for the 4 course because it's only $10 more than the three course. My friends and I coordinated and ordered something different for each course and then ate the dishes family style to try more options - definitely recommend! I forgot exactly what we ordered but every dish was an incredible fusion of classic Indian flavors with a few East Asian and california fresh inspiration. The highlights were the shrimp mid course, the brazino (sea bass) main, and everything in the dessert course. I also ordered the bourbon, apricot, and sage cocktail and was impressed that it was flavorful but not too sweet or watery. I will be dreaming of this meal for a while and scheming how to get back to New York to eat again. Logistics: - there's indoor and outdoor seating but avoid the outdoor because it was basically on the sidewalk and not the vibe for the tasting menu - reservations recommend - it's Manhattan so there isn't really any parking but close to subways and Central Park - you can create two different vegetarian or pescatarian tasting courses read more

Indian accent is phenomenal! From the presentation, ambience, and staff it was an amazing experience. My friends and I opted for the 4 course meal and it was plenty of food. We were full by the time the main course came out! The server was very thoughtful and assisted my party while we decided between the different dishes. We decided to try different dishes and share our meals. My favorite dish of the night was the warm Doda Barfi tart with vanilla ice cream. The tart was rich and decadent and on the sweeter side but paired remarkably well with the ice cream. read more

Came on a chilly Tuesday night with my sister to celebrate her engagement just as sisters. We chose Indian Accent because we both love Indian food and heard good things which it did not disappoint! The servers here are so kind and the aesthetic is nice! We did the prefix course and started with the pulka chili pork and pork dumplings. i was so surprised with how delicious and juicy the chili pork was - a very nice indo mexican fusion with it being in a taco. my sisters dumplings were delicious too next we did the bone marrow kabob and sweet pickle rib. the bone marrow was so good as well and paired nicely with some naan as its fatty and juicy. the rib was _____ for mains we did chicken malai and beef tenderloin with butter chicken kulcha and black daal. the black daal they make here might be the best daal ive ever had! dessert was banana sticky cake and makhan malai - the makan malai was so airy and light but had all the flavors listed. really loved this - probably my favorite and would recommend. the banana sticky cake was also so so so delish but i was so full by the end felt like i couldnt enjoy it as much since it was heavier 10/10 recommend and would come back read more
