Condé Nast Traveler releases top 50 Indian restaurants for 2026
The Condé Nast Traveler x District Top Restaurant Awards announced the 2026 list of India's best restaurants at a ceremony in Goa.
Mumbai and Goa lead the rankings
Mumbai and Goa each secured thirteen spots on the final list. Bengaluru followed with six entries, while Chennai and Kolkata added four restaurants each. New Delhi claimed three positions, and Shillong increased its presence to two locations.
Smaller cities gain representation
The remaining five places went to Kasauli, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Gurugram, and Karaikudi. This distribution marks a shift from previous years as the dining scene evolves. Goa has matched Mumbai in count for the first time.
Selection process involves jury voting
Curators started with a shortlist of more than 1,000 restaurants across the country. A panel of 105 jury members conducted two phases of voting to create the final ranking. Restaurants could also nominate themselves by filling out a form.
