Have you ever wondered why certain foods or culinary traditions are so important to one’s culture? The food of a country is a direct reflection of its culture.
A travel site, TripAdvisor, announced the winners of its Travellers Choice awards for Restaurants in India and around the world. Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews for restaurants around the world, gathered over a 12-month period.
“The top restaurants in this year’s list truly reflect India’s diverse cultural heritage. Dining in each of these restaurants is an experience in itself with dishes that are not only a visual delight but also full of exquisite flavours. I am certain that the 2018 Travellers’ Choice winners will inspire foodies to travel only to dine at these best-in-class restaurants within India and outside,” said Nikhil Ganju, country manager, TripAdvisor India.
Among the top five restaurants in India were Indian Accent in New Delhi, Mosaic in Kochi, Dakshin in Hyderabad, Spice Kitchen in Pune and K3 situated in New Delhi.
Bestowed with prestigious awards for its exquisite take on dishes and fine dining experience, Indian Accent, received the award for the fifth time as the number one Traveller’s Choice Restaurant in India. Their must try dish is Butter Chicken Kulcha.
“We are humbled to have won this award for the 5th consecutive year. We are thrilled, and would like to thank the organisation for providing this platform to travellers where they can leave such candid feedback. A big shout out to our diners who have supported us always and, of course, the amazing team that we have both in the kitchen and at service in the restaurant. This would not be possible without them,” said Manish Mehrotra, corporate chef of Indian Accent.
