Indigo was a restaurant founded by the Indian chef Rahul Akerkar in 1999 in Mumbai, India, in a restored colonial bungalow behind the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. The restaurant was one of the first standalone fine-dining restaurants in the country to serve quality European cuisine outside the luxury hotel industry. It is credited with influencing the Indian restaurant industry in the country's post-liberalisation era. Food critic Vir Sanghvi called the restaurant "one of the most important establishments in Indian restaurant history". It was included in the top 60 restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveler.
The restaurant closed on 29 April 2018, following the expiration of the property's lease and failed renegotiations.
