Indian food is the most delicious food on Earth

Indian sweets are rubbish ... but Indian curries are amazing.

I love the sweets! I’m so tempted to get the rasmalai I’ve got in the fridge out! Had forgotten I’d bought that. Bit too early and it always feels incredibly sweet and calorific but I love it.

Been to India twice and absolutely loved the food. Your average Indian takeaway not so much.

During lockdown a local Indian chef who used to just do private dinner parties staring delivering Thalis with roti, it was amazing.

I love Thai for the freshness and herbs and vegetables. Persian was a revelation as was Georgian food.

Love Italian, french...(but get bored in France after a week and crave some spice).

Japanese food is my favourite.

Chinese food though, even after being there a few times, I’ve just never quite got it. I think I need to go with someone who knows about food.

I haven't been to Georgia but went to a Georgian restaurant years ago and had absolutely fantastic food. Sadly for the life of me I can't remember where it was.

Love Indian food but also Japanese, Korean, Thai, Middle-Eastern, German, Italian, Greek. Basically everything I've tried. If I had to give up a national cuisine it would be British but then I'd miss the occasional fry-up and the puddings.

I agree. Adore Indian food, if I could only eat one food type for the rest of my life, I'd chose that and be very happy.

My favourite used to be Italian, but since I went low carb my options for it are very limited.

Mexican!

It’s spicy, lots of veggies, with bursts of freshness from coriander and tomato.

But Indian food is also delicious if made from scratch.

Oh but wait, Japanese too!

This is hard

And no I'm not Indian.

Agree

It is delicious and it’s delicious warmed up the next day so less waste too.

It’s great but Vietnamese is my favourite. So fresh and fragrant.

I couldn’t pick one cuisine to have for ever which is why I like living here so much because of the access to different types of food.

I would however 100% prefer any future weddings I attend to be Indian ones. The food just works better for mass catering and I love not having to eat dry chicken. The food at any of the Indian weddings I’ve been to has been much better than any traditional British ones.

I love ALL the food, can't decide on a favourite. There is hardly anything I will not eat.

I bloody love Indian food. @Bipitybopityboop have you tried Sri Lankan yet? Some similarities to Indian but quite different in its own way....bloody delicious. DH has declared it better than Indian which was a bold statement for him to make!

I like Indian food but North African food is the best. Spicy but not hot.

I am not North African but I was born there.

YABU I cannot stand it .

I try my best not to like it, because I've never found a recipe for 'simple' Indian food, and I'm damned if I'm using 40 ingredients for one dish and spending 5 hours in my kitchen.

Italian food, however... you can make something tasty in 20 minutes using only a handful of ingredients. Be still, my beating heart.

@SimonJT

I put YABU as most people I know who “love Indian food” aren’t actually eating Indian food.

How do you know? What do you assume people are eating? I have a Keralan restaurant by me. Does that pass your test?

I love proper Indian food, not the greasy stuff from takeaways, I'm planning on a course next year (was meant to be this year but travel isn't possible) in Sri Lankan cooking

Totally agree OP YADNBU!

Drooling at 7.40am thinking about tandoori lamb chops, grilled chicken tikka, peshwari naan, chicken tikka bhuna, onion bhaji, lime pickle, poppadoms, spicy onion salad, lamb Balti.... ok I need to stop now

The first place we booked for after 17th May is Dishoom.

However, I do disagree. I think Indian food can be too much of one thing all thrown together. I prefer a few different flavours on my plate.
However I love Chinese food too...oh I don’t know! I just love food, don’t make me choose!

I eat it every now and then but most of it is way too oily and heavy. Not a fan of really spicy stuff either. I’d get bored limiting myself to any one cuisine, whatever it was. I regularly eat Italian, Mexican, Japanese but sometimes I just fancy good old steak and chips or sausage and mash!

No - I HATE spices.

I love Indian food. And Italian. But we Brits do the best puddings & cakes.

Wrong. It’s actually Thai food.

I love Indian food. I’m not vegetarian, but Indian vegetarian food is so nice. I’ve been making a lot and even made my own naan breads. Some great YouTube authentic recipes out there.

Well that’s the Dishoom cookbook trundling it’s way here!

I'm not a fan at all.
Italian all the way, every day for me. And it's not all pasta / pizza either. Loads of seafood / fish / griddled chicken & meat etc. We eat Italian at least 3 times a week & often far more

We love Japanese food too

@Cocopogo I don't have a Dishoom near me but have a few days in London in August and its top of my list. Bookinhs aren't open yet for those dates but I'm checking constantly as I really need a Ruby that I haven't cooked!
