Not one dish on Indian Accent's menu sounds familiar, and no two wines taste alike. We spent an evening in its lawns and emerged enchanted
Drinks: The place gives you a lot to wine about, with Brit expert Charles Metcalfe playing the consultant. Each course is complemented with a different wine from a list that includes the best from Germany, New Zealand, Australia and Hungary. We loved them all. If you're a cocktail person, allow Bharat Bhushan, Best Bartender at the Finlandia 11th Cup, to stir you with his shakes. With bar snacks like chaat masala crab toasties (Rs 475) and jeera khari biscuit with lasan hummus (Rs 250), you wouldn't want to miss the booze.
Ambience: The palette paradise's approach is a tad complicated, but once here, the drive seems well worth it. Understated ethnic elegance fills every bit, and you can choose your seating options from the indoors, the verandah and the quiet garden, which alone can shelter 50. As we made our way into the greens, Meerabai's chants with contempo beats, soft candle flames, floating flowers, low-hung lanterns and smiling service followed. An occasional mosquito or pet dog trying to make its way through the hedge did nothing to disturb the Lutyen's Delhi-like charm, with a train siren in the distance signaling it was a trip well-made. When are you getting trance-ported?
