Often when a question arises as to what to eat for dinner, I think of Indian food. I am a very happy gal with chicken makhani, basmati rice, an onion kulcha or a nan laid out in front of me. I have heard some very good things about Indian Accent, a relatively new restaurant in midtown Manhattan, adjacent to the Parker Hotel.
The décor here is unlike most Indian restaurants I have visited; no boldly colored fabrics, beautiful tapestries, intricately carved wood, or lanterns. Indian Accent restaurant looks like something that Daniel Boulud would envision. There are about fifteen wooden tables and a few small booths, fabric covered modern chairs, a lit bar with glass shelves and golden accents throughout, and large glass vases filled with flowering branches.
The menu is complicated, however, our terrific waiter took his time and explained each dish and even made some wonderful suggestions. Actually, everyone at the restaurant was really professional and lovely.
We were greeted with an amuse bouche which consisted of this amazingly creamy soup and a cheese filled nan.
In order to get a good feel for the menu, and since this was our first time at this restaurant, we decided to order a variety of dishes.
Sweet pot shakarkandi, starfruit, and crispy okra.
Mathri trio - smoked eggplant bharta, duck khurchan, methi murgh.
Grilled summer corn, chutney butter, corn kebab.
Assamese pork dumplings, broth, nettle oil, crispy black rice.
Sweet pickle ribs, sun-dried mango, onion seeds.
Soft shell crab, malvani dried shimp pulao.
ghee roast lamb, roomali roti pancakes.
Baked sea bass, patrani butter, berry pulao.
Loved this nan.
Doda barfi treacle tart, vanilla bean ice cream. This dessert tasted like a delicious pecan pie.
Kheer, crispy seviyan, coconut and jaggery ice cream, summer berries.
What amazed us was that everything we tasted was consistently delicious, interesting, and very satisfying. I personally got to try some bold, new flavors and food combinations.
