Indian cuisine boasts a global following due to its distinctive spices and delectable flavors that captivate people worldwide. Iconic dishes such as Shahi Paneer, Dal Makhani, Butter Naan, and Jalebi have achieved recognition as examples of Indian culinary excellence.

Many international individuals frequently share their experiences of savoring a wide range of Indian dishes on social media. Recently, a video went viral on X (formerly Twitter) featuring a foreigner who had an extraordinary dining experience with Indian food. He was so impressed that he exclaimed, “My taste buds have been violated. This should be a crime.”

In his inaugural encounter with Indian cuisine, an American ordered a meal from India Oven, a local Indian restaurant in Kentucky. His order included Onion Bhajiya, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Rice, and Gulab Jamun. Seated in his car, he savored each dish.

Beginning with the Onion Bhajiya, he enjoyed it greatly, giving it an 8 out of 10 rating. His next culinary adventure was the Garlic Naan, which he highly praised with an impressive rating of 9.5, stating, “It’s the best bread I’ve ever tasted in my life.” When he moved on to the butter chicken, he couldn’t help but laud it, describing it as “absolutely delicious” and “sumptuous,” awarding it a remarkable 9.9 rating. The real revelation occurred when he combined the naan with the butter chicken, resulting in a taste experience that pleasantly surprised him. He concluded his meal with Gulab Jamun.

This video has garnered immense popularity, amassing over 240 thousand views and more than 25 thousand reposts. One individual commented, “This was exactly my reaction the first time I tasted Indian food as a young child in Iowa.”
