Mandala Masters’ latest gastronomic residency hosts Indian Accent, a widely celebrated restaurant in New Delhi best known for pioneering itself as a modern Indian restaurant globally. The progressive restaurant also recently made rank #19 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list. The exclusive three-week residency started on May 9 in the members-only club and was an instant hit. So much so that they have now decided to extend the residency to June 3. This extension will also see exciting collaborations with local chefs, Euphoria’s Jason Tan and Candlenut’s Malcolm Lee, to meet the popular demand.

While the Mandala Masters x Amaya Ventures' residency is now still underway, Indian Accent has already set its sights on opening a permanent outpost here in Singapore. They currently have one in New York and another in Mumbai set to debut this May. And the man behind the expansion is restaurateur Rohit Khattar, founder and chairman of EHV International. “We cannot wait to find a more permanent home here in Singapore. In such a short period of time, we have received an amazing response from Singapore and are overwhelmed with the praise from our diners,” delights Rohit.

As for chef Manish Mehrotra, culinary director of Indian Accent, his team and him share enthusiasm for the warm welcome received in Singapore. “We are excited to be given the opportunity to share about the exquisite intricacies of our culture by showcasing the harmonies and subtleties of flavours found in Indian cuisine. And I have many young chefs on my team, so it thrills them to see things for the first time in their lives,” says chef Manish.

For the uninitiated, the Mandala Masters programme stages culinary residencies that were graced by the likes of renowned chefs such as Mauro Colagreco, Gaggan Anand and most recently, Narisawa, a two-Michelin-star Japanese restaurant in Tokyo.

At present, chef Manish Mehrotra and chef Shantanu Mehrotra are still plating up their progressive take on Indian cuisine from Tuesday to Saturday. Diners can still look forward to exciting dishes such as the Kanyakumari crab with sago pongal (South Indian porridge) and delicate caviar and, of course, the succulent wagyu pathar kebab with bone marrow nihari (stew) adorned with lily buds. Lunch starts from $188 and dinner from $238.
