Where Is The Best Food In India?

[KAREN MARTIN]

I agree, there's just so much to choose from in India when it comes to food. Since there are so many different cultures in one country, it's hard to go to any specific place where you'll manage to cover every cuisine of the country. The thing I love best about Indian food is how different it is compared to Western foods. For anybody who doesn't come from India (or around that area in Asia - Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc), tasting Indian cuisine really is a surprise, since it's such a huge contrast with foods those people have tried before.

I totally agree with your statement, there food is most definitely an experimental tasting that everyone should try at least one time in their lifetime!

One of the unique things about India is that the style of food can differ within the distance of 100 km. The food will be good regardless of where you go. Just note that South India is primarily vegetarian whereas the north part is both vegetarian and carnivorous.

I don't think it's even possible to get unsavory food in India lol, at least that's what it felt like when I was travelling there. I was amazed by every new dish I tried in every new area I visited, the food was an adventure in itself and I never once got sick from it. I'm a big fan of spicy food and I particularly enjoyed the paneer based dishes I tried there

I also forgot to mention, we are NOT vegetarians. We love meat! Seriously, we are from Texas!!!

I am looking for some meaty choices!

Thanks!

To be frank I am a pure veg, but I can recommend you some places in Mumbai which offer excellent non-veg food in quality and price :

New Martins (South Mumbai)- Famous for their oily pan fried beef steak. They also got a good variety of sea-food. But you need to be there well in advance to get a seat.
Jaffer Bhai (North Mumbai) - Well-known for their kebabs and biryanis. They got outlets in South Mumbai too.

If you are not so concerned on cost part, you can also try Global Fusion in Bandra for their sea food and sushi. They are somewhat expensive, but you can find unlimited food and drink varieties.

Food carts are always going to be the best, although some may have some mystery meats, so try to look around for some of the more reserved cart, restaurants are usually nice as well, try to look for something that is small and you should be fine.

That's pretty incredible - I didn't realize there would be that much variation within such a relatively small distance, geographically speaking! It makes me more excited now to visit the country, because getting to experience different foods is one of the things I enjoy most about traveling. Sounds like I won't have any shortage of new things to try!

The best Indian food, I think, is street food. I know it can be risky (especially for people with not-as-adept stomachs). But I do think that street food is a big part of any culture and life of a country. You are not going to find anything more authentic and more catered towards locals. Street food tends to also be sinfully cheap and delicious. The downside is that it can be unsafe so tread with caution.
