The Most Famous Modern Indian Restaurant in The World | Indian Accent | Delhi |

An extraordinary afternoon at Indian Accent, one of India's most renowned fine-dining restaurants. With poor Shanky out sick, we are joined by our dear friends HH Maharani Priyaraje Scindia and Dilip Cherian. An afternoon with friends over a great meal, no reviews, no commentary. Just a 'hang with homies' and the legend himself, Chef Manish, who has since announced his departure from Indian Accent.
Regular viewers will notice a shift from our usual format in this video. We've drawn inspiration from David Gelb’s cinematic style on Netflix’s Chef’s Table to bring you our take on showcasing the artistry behind Indian Accent and Chef Manish Mehrotra.
Watch as we explore the elegant ambiance, savor the exquisite dishes, and hear insights from Chef Manish himself about his inspiration, techniques, and the evolution of Indian cuisine. Whether you're a food lover, a culinary enthusiast, or just curious about what makes Indian Accent so special, this video is your guide to experiencing one of the best restaurants in the world.

With the amount of subscribers, I feel someday I will tell my kids there was a very underrated show, and teach him stuff about our gen

[@sukantpanigrahi76]

The glazing is crazy

[@saikiranbandlamudi]

Sid and Shanky, Can’t thank you guys enough man for the work you do! Been a subscriber since the channel was at under 10K subscribers, and I must say, not a single video you guys have published was ever any less than impressive. From the madness and gluttony of street food to the finesse of fine dining, I love how holistic you guys are with covering all formats of food and dining, shows your loyalty towards the cause of teaching us about food, that too in the most interesting formats possible. After getting used to your food content, nothing else cuts it, The Big Forkers has set my standards for consuming food content very high. Kudos to The Big Forkers and the entire team! Love you guys! Please continue doing this great work!

[@TheBigForkers]

Thanks for these kind words

[@amritendusarkar]

Why people are subscribing??? This channel is also very good for various food education........

[@nitingandhi1122]

One sensible channel, mature reviews, and no-nonsense content. Great job guys.

[@TheBigForkers]

Thank you

[@iBeeRaut]

This review was simply wonderful! I've heard about the place several times and definitely want to dine there one day...I really appreciate the video and the extra details you added. I’ve heard about the restaurant but now this will be on my bucket list. The most underrated channel on YT . Thank you for sharing. Keep the videos coming. GodSpeed

[@TheBigForkers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amantsodhi]

Bro, your content is next level. Its not for everyone but the audience your targeting loves it!! Please keep posting it.. I love it, Specially when i am eating too :D

[@TheBigForkers]

Thanks man

[@shoubhikdasguptadg9911]

Missed the entire vibe of Sid & Shanky being raw, unfiltered & giving an unadulterated take on the food. It just became too fancy for my liking, just didnt have the "Forkers" vibe to it. Love you both & the team!

[@TheBigForkers]

This was a different episode mate

[@adwait_ghag]

Was searching for this particular comment. Glad someone said it There's something fishy attached to this particular restaurant as well The restaurant has become infamous for posting fake/paid reviews on Google due to which it has lost credibility Just search for 'Indian accent - Mumbai' and sort the reviews by lowest first You will see tonnes of reviews where people have said that they were offered 150 bucks for posting a 5 star review for the place Don't expect the forkers to visit restaurants with such bad repute.

[@adwait_ghag]

Glad someone said it. It's better if it's unfiltered, raw and real.

[@AMPA33]

You know what, that environment suits you best and brings out the best in you. This has to be my favorite episode. Maybe Shanky needs to shake a little bit of dehati off him. Cheers mate! Sharing this video with my family.

[@TheBigForkers]

We have done all sorts of episodes and both are comfortable with all aspects of dining. Shanky has a wider understanding of street food than Sid. Sid knows Delhi better.

[@prash193]

Every episode doesn't have to be a roast or a raw take. Such videos are cool too : educative and engaging. They surely have learned from the feedback they got for the foreign episodes. Also , the music totally works !

[@TheBigForkers]

Cheers, thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@user-lz8vl4yc6s]

Didn’t start the episode at the beginning mainly because of the grandiose background score . But slowly after ignoring the music and just focusing on the content this episode was elevated to a different level and loved it .

[@TheBigForkers]

Thanks, I (Sid) really wanted this style, which works for some of the audience and test it. I have my answer.

Thanks! 😃 Though I'm not a Chef Left that business in 1999. It's a title I lost a long time ago.

[@azaniangooner]

So nicely done, such an ode to Chef Manish Mehrotra for the institution he has built. Also Goa is Goa, Delhi is Delhi and Indian Accent is Indian Accent. The fact that the tone changes based on what you are reviewing is based on context. Some places you can be irreverent while others require reverance. Haters gonna hate.

[@TheBigForkers]

Thank you for this comment. A whole slate of episodes on street food. One elevated experience with a different touch and some folks get pissed off.

Being a Chef I can understand one needs a courage to eat Blue Cheese Naan, nonetheless, it was good to watch chef Manish's wonderful creation

[@sukantpanigrahi76]

I had no idea that Priyadarshini Raje Scindia was producing your show. Thats crazy. Kudos to you guys looks like things are moving along. I still remember the days when there were like a few thousand subs only and yall still made top quality content. Keep it up!

As a friend and supporter of the show, she was super helpful in making the Delhi Season a success. It is our gratitude to her to share the credit with her.

[@rahulpatwardhan6563]

Me always at Sarvi, Nagpada ❤

[@prithvikantibandyopadhyay6516]

I remember an earlier show years back showing indian accent and it still looks the same, the thing with their food is premiumization of street food and not delving deeper into indian cuisine, i am sure it tastes good but for fine dining you want more. I think sienna kolkata is a better bet than this restaurant. Also, aminiya serves better biryani than arsalan in kolkata.

[@TheBigForkers]

Sienna is excellent indeed

Rwaf the description buddy, trying a different style

[@BuddhaLaughs]

Only the Delhi Xaverians especially those who passed out in the seventies know the emotion called Fateh. We knew him when he hung outside the grills towards Ludlow Castle Road during the lunch break and when he stood with his cycle under the tree, near the school gate down that road, after the school got over. When it comes to Fateh ki Kachori , everyone else is a me2 or a wannabe, even the latter Xaverians. Those who haven’t seen the legend are not allowed to opinionate, no matter how adulatory.

Fair enough. Thanks for sharing this

This was actually boring. Why didn’t the usual host turn up? I don’t understand the mallu and tamilian woman - they add nothing to the episode at all. Essentially, Indian Accent is desi food elevated to a point where it is familiar but also unappealing. This is the place I can imagine doing biryani ice cream with dahai sauce and dried meat to mimic an ice cream sundae. I’ve been many times and frankly speaking it’s extremely overrated and will be heavy on the wallet! I’d rather go to Bhukara over this place and what makes it nauseating is the chef’s arrogance. He believes he is a trend setter and a culinary disruptor but in reality he is a guy who cooks good food that is overly complicated.
