The list of the best restaurants in India in 2023 is out, and Indian Accent at The Lodhi, New Delhi, has yet again taken the crown. This makes it the third time that Indian Accent has ranked first in Condé Nast Traveller India's Top Restaurant Awards—with wins in the inaugural edition in 2017 and then again in 2019. In the second spot in the Top Restaurant Awards was Bomras, Goa, with Mumbai’s ingredient-forward Masque climbing up the ladder to third place.
The ranking of India’s best restaurants was revealed at a glittering ceremony on Monday at the Taj Lands End, Bandra. The Top Restaurant Awards are a definitive, authoritative ranking of India’s top restaurants. The list is tabulated after multiple rounds of voting involving 100 jurors from across the country, who vote privately in a process overseen by an independent auditor. The jury includes food writers, critics, creators, and other tastemakers, screened for any major conflict of interest and to ensure regional diversity. Read more about how it works here.

Goa may have been expected to dominate the list with the maximum winners, but it is Mumbai, with 12 restaurants that has emerged on top. Close behind is Bengaluru with 11 restaurants, while Delhi has eight and Goa seven in the Top 50.

It opened an outpost in New York in 2019, and, this year even opened its much-awaited outpost in Mumbai at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC).
When Bomras reopened in Anjuna, Goa in 2020, locals and tourists flocked right back to the restaurant like nothing had changed.

Once the preserve of expats, the notion of Thanksgiving is increasingly embraced in the U.K. as both a gentle practice of seeing family or friends but also as a form of autumnal appreciation; an adult-orientated extension of harvest festivals that most schools still hold in Britain.
