7. Notable chefs: Akanksha Dean blends international training with Indian roots

Some Indian restaurants have integrated molecular tricks into approachable tasting menus. Imperfecto Shor Cafe is named in industry coverage as a place incorporating texture and modern plating under trained staff. These kitchens show how restaurants can use foams, gels, and precise temperature work to enhance, rather than overpower, regional dishes. When you visit such a restaurant—either in India or in North America—you’ll likely see small plates designed to highlight an ingredient’s aroma and mouthfeel. Responsible kitchens disclose techniques and stick to food-grade agents, which keep flavors honest and diners safe. If you’re curious, ask servers about preparation or look for chef notes on the menu: many kitchens now include short explanations about the technique and its origin. That transparency helps diners appreciate the food and judge whether the approach respects the original flavors.
