India got this number in the world’s 100 best cuisines, Amritsari Kulcha and Hyderabadi Biryani won hearts.

The whole world knows India for its diversity. As much as the lifestyle, culture, clothes, speech and languages ​​are different here, the same diversity is visible in our food too. Every state, every city and sometimes even every village has its own special flavour. One cannot look at an Indian thali and say that ‘this is Indian food’, because in the very next house one will get something completely different. This diversity makes our food culture the most special in the world.

Our food not only connects the people of our country, but when foreign tourists also come to India, they become crazy about our street food, spices and local taste. Recently, the world’s famous food platform TasteAtlas has released the ranking of ‘World’s Best Cuisine’ for 2025-26, in which the food of 100 countries has been ranked on the basis of people’s ratings. India has performed brilliantly in this list and has made its place in the top 20.

Top 5 countries whose food the world liked the most:

Italy – 4.64/5

Greece – 4.60/5

Peru – 4.54/5

Portugal – 4.53/5 (tie)

Spain – 4.53/5 (tie)

Great performance by India

India is at number 13 in this list and we have got an excellent rating of 4.43, which means that people of the world like Indian food very much. Earlier too, TasteAtlas had ranked Butter Chicken 5th among the top 5 chicken dishes in the world, and Tandoori Chicken also always remains in the favorite list of people. Whereas our neighboring country Pakistan was left far behind in this list. Pakistani cuisine has been ranked 73rd and has got only 4.04 rating. Meaning it could not even make it to the top 50.

Indian dishes also won

TasteAtlas has also released the list of ‘World’s 100 Best Dishes 2025-26’, in which two Indian dishes are included in the top 20: Amritsari Kulcha (Punjab) at 17th place (4.44 rating). Hyderabadi Biryani has also made a proud place in this list. All these rankings have been made on the basis of real opinions and ratings of millions of people. This clearly shows that Indian food is gaining a place at the top not only in taste but also in the hearts of the world.
