Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in New Delhi
How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically.
Dramz Delhi
Deep wine list
Dramz Delhi occupies a striking position near the Qutub Minar in Mehrauli, one of Delhi's most historically layered neighbourhoods. The setting frames a drinking and dining experience shaped by the area's Mughal-era atmosphere, placing it among a small cohort of venues that trade on architectural context as much as the menu. For visitors moving between Delhi's monument circuit and its restaurant scene, Mehrauli offers a distinct alternative to the capital's hotel-bar corridor.
Indian Accent
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Indian Accent at The Lodhi sits at the upper tier of New Delhi's fine dining scene, ranked #89 in the World's 50 Best Restaurants (2024) and scoring 95 points on La Liste (2025). The six-course tasting menu moves through regional Indian reference points reimagined with global technique, from inventive bread courses to mains such as tamarind crab with coconut curry. Wine Director Kevin Rodrigues oversees a 900-bottle list with particular depth in South American and European labels.
Le Cirque Delhi
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Le Cirque Delhi occupies the first floor of The Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri's Diplomatic Enclave, bringing the New York institution's Continental and Mediterranean-inflected cooking to one of the capital's most formally dressed dining rooms. The address places it inside a concentrated zone of palace-hotel restaurants where the service register and room design do much of the narrative work before the first course arrives.
Megu
Deep wine list
Megu serves Modern Japanese at The Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri, with an extensive wine list and sake program for lunch or dinner.
The Spice Route
Deep wine list
Inside The Imperial on Janpath, The Spice Route occupies one of Delhi's most architecturally considered dining rooms, tracing the historical spice trade corridor from Kerala to Southeast Asia through its murals, hand-carved interiors, and a menu that treats regional Indian cooking as a serious culinary archive rather than a hotel amenity.
