Pulling the hospitality industry out of the gloomy pandemic-induced slump, the eighth edition of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants saw two big winners from Mumbai and Delhi clinching the deal for India as a serious culinary hot spot. A definite pat on the back that brings back signs of optimism and revival to the resilient restaurant industry in Asia.

Indian Accent from Delhi stood at the 18^th position this year, while Masque, Mumbai led by chef Prateek Sadhu grabbed a spot at the 32^nd position. Creating cuisine-agnostic fare in their tasting menus, Masque is Sadhu’s vision of a culinary theatre, which fuses science and creativity, in a space dedicated to bold kitchen experiments called the Masque Lab, along with sustainable sourcing and cooking practices.

Keeping up with its previous records, this is the seventh consecutive time that celebrity chef Manish Mehrotra’s inventive Indian cuisine restaurant Indian Accent has made it to the list. In fact, in 2019, Indian Accent was also featured in World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Announced in a virtual awards ceremony, The Chairman in Hong Kong was named the No 1 restaurant in the region, while Singapore’s Odette, which occupied the first spot for two consecutive years, now stands at #2. Other Indian chef-led restaurants who made it to the crème de la crème list were—Kolkata-born chef Gaggan Anand’s latest restaurant Le Du in Bangkok debuted on the list at No.5, earning the Highest New Entry Award 2021—and Mumbai-born chef Garima Arora’s Bangkok restaurant Gaa ranked at 46.
