About this collection
These recognitions are more than trophies on a shelf. They are milestones of our team's daily obsession with detail, from the precise crumb-down silver service to the delicate layering in our signature daulat ki chaat. When you join us for a meal, you are participating in a 15-year evolution of flavour that continues to grow with every plate we serve.
Our story is one of constant evolution. Being named India's No. 1 restaurant by La Liste and featuring on the World's 50 Best list are humbling markers of our progress, but they are not the finish line. We see these awards as an invitation to keep pushing the boundaries of what Indian food can be.
At the heart of this journey is Chef Shantanu Mehrotra. His philosophy treats cooking like a conversation between old friends and new ideas. It is why our kitchen, located within the serene atmosphere of The Lodhi, feels less like a workplace and more like a studio where tradition meets innovation.
Whether it is the team experimenting with black garlic naan or our bar manager Ravi Rai crafting cocktails with rare ingredients, every element is rehearsed and refined. We do not chase accolades, but we are deeply grateful that our diners and critics alike appreciate the honesty in our work. From the Condé Nast Traveller awards to our inclusion in the 50 Best Discovery for our bread program, each honour reinforces our commitment to the craft. We invite you to experience the result of this passion firsthand, where every dish is a study in balance.
