Review Highlights
Inddee is a two-Michelin-star modern Indian restaurant in Bangkok, opened in June 2023 by Mumbai-born chef Sachin Poojary. Alexander visits after his viewers voted it the winner of his "attention game" competition — and in the time it took to schedule the trip, it earned a second star. The tasting menu is structured as a cultural journey through India's regions, from Gujarat to Kashmir, blending Indian culinary traditions with Japanese technique refined during the chef's tenure at Wasabi by Morimoto.
- ·Vada Pav — Mumbai's most iconic street snack, reimagined as an "Indian burger": house-baked gizbun filled with aromatic potato vada, served with tamarind chutney. "Straight up mind-blowing."
- ·Akuri (Gujarat) — a chawanmushi studded with raisins and macadamia nuts, seared shimeji mushrooms, smoked sugar snap peas, slow-roasted tomato jus, smoked Japanese vinegar, and house-smoked Ossetra caviar. "I love the texture play here — the spices come through beautifully."
- ·Himalayan Winter — chicken dashi with filled momos, peanut cream, pickled chestnuts, fermented mustard seeds, and ghost pepper. "The ghost pepper dissolves nicely into the broth."
- ·Butter Pepper Garlic Crab (Mumbai) — Hokkaido king crab char-grilled with Japanese leeks, lemon gel, pickled radish, pink Madagascar peppercorns, and a French butter disc that melts over the plate.
- ·Queen of Pickles (Kolkata) — Antarctic toothfish coated in kasundi beurre blanc, served with kosho pickle, almond foam, and a crunchy mustard vinaigrette with Bengal five-spice. "Beautifully cooked fish and the flavors are magical."
- ·Bread course — millet bread with horse mackerel and choka, plus appam (fermented rice pancake) with tempering and vegetable stew. "Every single piece was delicious and exciting. Huge flavors."
- ·Lamb Coorgi (Karnataka) — lamb marinated in pandicuri, grilled over robotayaki charcoal, served with kumquat puree, grilled stem lettuce noodles, and spiced coffee sauce.
- ·Kashmir dessert — a landscape painting of the Himalayas: crunchy shufta with honey, lavender milk snow, honey-glazed morel stuffed with ghost cheese, frozen apricot and mahali root mousse, finished with tableside lavender mist.
Alexander found Inddee a worthy winner of his competition — a true journey through India that doubles as a lesson in culture and tradition. The menu was full of creative ideas and an incredible amount of work. The wine pairing, led by sommelier Jay Bottorf, was a standout: "globally outstanding." His one reservation: sometimes he missed the punchy, sharp, exciting flavors of the India he knows — the refinement occasionally sands off the edges. "Nonetheless, the restaurant deserved to be the winner of the attention game."
