Indian Accent, an Indian restaurant from Old World Hospitality, has opened its first international location adjacent to Le Parker Meridien Hotel in New York. Founded by restaurateur Rohit Khattar and helmed by celebrated Chef Manish Mehrotra, Indian Accent offers inventive Indian cuisine, combining global ingredients and techniques with Indian flavours.
“We have been evaluating multiple opportunities to open another Indian Accent, but none have been as exciting and promising as New York City. We have just opened and hope that New York too shall embrace our inventive Indian cuisine,” said Khattar, chairman, Old World Hospitality.
The restaurant’s contemporary Indian menu showcases Mehrotra’s techniques with traditional flavour profiles. Seasonal, local produce and locally-sourced proteins are complimented by authentic Indian spices and ingredients from across the world. The menu can be enjoyed as a selection of two, three, or four courses, or a set chef tasting menu of seven courses. Indian Accent’s trademark Stuffed Kulchas will also make an appearance in New York. Indian Accent’s wine and beverage programme is helmed by wine and beverage director Daniel Beedle, who has created a catalog of cocktails, wines, and teas.
The front of house team includes director of operations, Paul Downie, who previously served as the general manager of Eleven Madison Park; Akshay Tripathi, general manager – development; and Mehrotra’s long term protégé Vivek Rana and a team of chefs from the original Indian Accent shall be assisting Mehrotra in the kitchen.
