In 2024, the DLC Guide made its prestigious debut in New York City. Led by Jimmy Mistry alongside esteemed auditors from the New York Chapter, the guide honored exceptional restaurants across the city.

The DLC Guide is a new offering from Della Leaders Club. It is the world’s first independent global rating system for luxury restaurants, hotels, street food joints, bars, and lounges, curated by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs worldwide.

Our guide’s uniqueness lies in its rigorous process, created by Jimmy Mistry. We meticulously select seven auditors from each chapter within the DLC Ecosystem. These auditors vote to determine the best in their city. The voting process is completely online and transparent, allowing visibility into each other’s votes. Auditors have the power to change ratings in real-time, creating a unique, dynamic, and trustworthy rating system.

This unique methodology ensures the authenticity and credibility of our guide, not only for our DLC members but also for entrepreneurs worldwide who are food and lifestyle connoisseurs.

The 2024 edition celebrated culinary excellence in New York City, spotlighting outstanding achievers. Among the honorees were Chef Daniel Su of Zuma, renowned for their innovative Japanese cuisine. Chef Vikas Khanna’s Bungalow, famous for its Modern Indian Cuisine, offers a unique dining experience where the chef personally visits each table to explain the dishes. Chef Vijay Kumar’s award-winning Semma dazzles diners with its elegant presentation of Heritage South Indian cuisine. Lastly, Indian Accent, under the visionary leadership of Chef Shantanu Mehrotra, redefines contemporary Indian cuisine by combining fresh seasonal produce with unusual ingredients from around the world.
