The menu at Akra is a testament to the creativity of its chefs who skilfully blend the simplest ingredients to make exotic dishes with global inspirations. Being a teetotaller and a vegetarian, I assumed the options for me would be limited. But Akra did justice! The multi-cuisine restaurant caters to the needs of each palate, even one with restrictive dietary preferences such as mine.

Dishes

The Shroom Bao (INR 695)–delicate bao buns filled with mushroom fries, fresh vegetables and tangy sauces– is a must-try. The Asian steamed buns amped with a slight Indian twist a stroke of genius that elevates this humble dish into something truly extraordinary. For those seeking a unique twist on comfort food, the Truffle Baby Potatoes (INR 495) is a revelation. These bite-sized spuds are coated in an assortment of house-blended spices, sautéed veggies and crisped to perfection. The playfulness of the dish is mirrored in its presentation, resembling a vibrant mosaic of flavours and colours.
Saving the best for last, the Chocolate Tart (INR 699) is the best part of the meal. The smooth ganache along with the crunchy crust is simply wow!

There’s an extensive drinks menu for all the booze lovers out there, as well as a non-alcoholic beverage menu for teetotallers like me. The Hibiscus Iced Tea (INR 249) that I had along with the meal complimented all the robust flavours of my dishes perfectly.
