ITC resturants DumPukht, Dakshin and Bukhara have scored fifteenth, sixteenth and twentieth on the Miele Guide 2011-12 repectively. DumPukht and Bukhara were also on last year’s list – Bukhara at ITC Maurya, New Delhi was then rated at fourteenth place and DumPukht got seventeenth place.
This is in the third time that Bukhara has been featured in The Miele Guide – it was placed eleventh in the 2009-2010 edition. These are the only Indian restaurants to feature in the top 20.
According to the Miele Guide website, thousands of people from around the world cast votes for the best restaurants in 17 countries across Asia. Voters chose from a shortlist of restaurants which had been selected by a panel of 73 of the most respected restaurant critics and food writers in Asia. After four intense rounds of voting and selection, the smoke cleared and 17 countries (5 more than were in the first edition) and 500 restaurants (50 more than in the last edition) made the final cut.
Singapore’s Iggy’s restaurant won the best restaurant title for the second year in a row. Additionally it had won the title in 2008-09.
