Ending all speculation and anticipation, EHV International has officially inaugurated Indian Accent, its exquisite fine-dining establishment from Delhi, in the vibrant city of Mumbai.
Restaurateur Rohit Khattar, Chairman EHV said, “For many years we have been offered locations in Mumbai for Indian Accent. Our search has ended at the spectacular Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. Indian Accent has a loyal clientele of discerning guests from Mumbai. So we are particularly thrilled to be able to bring the Indian Accent experience to this vibrant city and look forward to it embracing us as warmly as New Delhi and New York have.”
Leading the culinary team at Indian Accent Mumbai will be Head Chef Rijul Gulati, bringing with him eight years of experience from Indian Accent, New Delhi, where he honed his skills under the expert guidance of Culinary Director Chef Manish Mehrotra.
“We are most excited about bringing Indian Accent to Mumbai. In addition to Indian Accent’s signature dishes, Chef Rijul and I have taken care to craft a menu that features more seafood and many more vegetarian options, recognising the dining habits and seasonal produce of this great metropolis,” says Mehrotra.
Overseeing the bar program is Varun Sharma, the mastermind behind the beverage experiences at EHV’s other esteemed establishments, Comorin & Hosa. Varun has now brought his expertise to Indian Accent Mumbai, introducing an array of captivating signature cocktails. Meanwhile, Kevin Rodrigues, the Head of Wines, has meticulously curated a sprawling wine selection that spans the globe, enriching the dining experience. For those indulging in the chef tasting menus, a choice of wine pairing and reserve wine pairing options is also available.
Paying homage to Mumbai’s iconic Art Deco movement, the design of the 75-seat restaurant exudes its distinctive flair. The establishment further boasts two intimate private dining spaces: the first accommodating up to 18 guests and the second seating 10, both accompanied by an adjacent interactive show kitchen.
The restaurant’s interior design is the creative vision of the renowned Russell Sage Studio, based in London. Collaborating closely with EHV’s Design Director, Rohini Kapur, and Director of Development, Vikas Bhasin, the team oversaw the project’s evolution from concept to opening. Local architectural expertise was provided by Incubis Consultants.
“Rashmi and Rohit Khattar were always keen to pay homage to Mumbai’s Art Deco movement and Russell Sage Studios have captured that essence in a contemporary fashion in their design. While thinking of the artwork to complement the design, we chose leading fine art photographer Rohit Chawla, who photographed some of the images of UNESCO Indian heritage sites and curated art deco images from Mumbai to add a romantic, timeless quotient to the space,” says Kapur.
