Habanero isn't that spicy.

There's one of the original branches of Santosh dhaba next to papaji ka dhaba as well. It's pure veg though. As is veerji ka dhaba. 

 

But worth a visit. 

 

Santosh Dhaba is good but in general punjabi food is not good here.

 

Hardly any place serving good chhole bhature. Kulcha Kulture is good.

That's like having south indian food in Delhi and comparing to the ones we get here. 

 

Different cities , different cuisines. Hyderabad does it's bet well. Delhi does it's bit well. 

 

Only difference is that punjabi/north Indian food is becoming common in all parts of India.

I've learnt to make chole bhature at home. No place serves good here. Or anywhere in South India for that matter.

It's become common. I don't even think you get good chole bhature even in Mumbai compared to the ones you get in Delhi. 

 

But , there's still decent to good north Indian food in Hyderabad. 

 

More if you go to the biryani joints and have their curries.

All in that list.

 

I love Indian food as a whole (this is one area where I am not critical of India), and it is hard for me to differentiate there.

 

To me, Indian food is the best and I personally rate it above the cuisines that I have tried - Lebanese, Italian, Turkish, Georgian, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, Thai and Mexican.

 

I haven't tried authentic French food yet, although I do not have high expectations. Have very little exposure to authentic Chinese food since they make liberal use of beef broth, never tried Tex-Mex barbecue because of the same reason as well.

Vidarbha cuisine is underrated, especially their meat dishes in black gravy, I think its called Saoji cuisine.

Awesome spicy black gravy.

Spiciest gijarati food

The green cour color thingy you see is south Peruvian habanero.. rare spiciest chili

Not even remotely true

 We make everything spicy where we come from.

The only French food that I've tried is their potato and onion soup. Like Japanese food, the flavours are subtle and of high quality. 

 

But I am still a sucker for spicy stuff from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia.

UP has an awesome legacy of meat based dishes. Sad it has come down to this @Lone Wolf @Mariyam @New guy @Lord @straighttalk, such petty people in power.

 

Where is the Nihari, Korma, Kakori/Shami Kabab, Biryani etc? Edible oil, pickled chillis are signature UP dishes but not Awadhi Biryani and Galouti Kabab. 

 

 

UP still has very good food variety, but it was even more diverse pre partition. 

 

The food of Karachi is actually pre partition UP food brought by muhajirs
