In this post, we will explore the Best Indian Restaurants Around The World.

For people living in India, Indian cuisine is not just food, but second nature. Indians are known for their immense love for food. And when it comes to Indian food, it isn’t just for survival; Its pure ecstasy. But for a person outside the country, who has maybe just one​ Indian restaurant nearby, trying the Indian cuisine becomes a lifetime experience. The savoury curries, the “some spicy-some sweet” chutneys, the mouth-watering tandoori dishes and the delicious desserts – the menu is never-ending.

But as they say, the first impression is the last impression. It’s important for a first-timer to eat the best cooked and served Indian dish, which makes them forget about everything and every other cuisine. Not only them but with Indians being a part of the Global community, all around the world, none of them should miss their homeland too badly for a lack of a good scrumptious Indian meal.

Because of this love for Indian food, its very easy to find an​ Indian restaurant ​in every nook of
the world. Although each restaurant has its own specialities and qualities, here is a list (in no
particular order) of the top Indian restaurants, famous for various different and diverse reasons.
But with one thing common in them – A delicious, near to perfect Indian meal, irrespective of
