Among all Indian cities, Mumbai has been crowned as the top Indian city for food in the ‘100 Best Food Cities in the World’ report released by TasteAtlas earlier this week.
Sitting at number five after the four Italian cities Naples, Milan, Bologna and Florence, it is the only Indian city in the top 10 with the others being Rome, Paris, Vienna, Turin and Osaka.
On the other hand, the other Indian cities in the top 50 include Amritsar at 43, New Delhi at 45, and Hyderabad at 50; Kolkata at 71 and Chennai at 75 complete the list of six Indian cities that feature in the top 100.
Among many food rivalries within the country, the Maximum City has beat the capital. It may make many people disagree but while the debate is going to be never-ending, Indians can be proud that the list features a city from almost every part of the country.
The list celebrates not only a cosmopolitan like Mumbai that has food not only from all over the world but also the country celebrating north Indian and south Indian cuisines, apart from its own regional Maharashtrian food. While it has the vada pav and missal pav, it also has the filter coffee, but not without chole bhature and dosa – all of which are absolutely delicious in different parts of the city.
While the eastern region did not make it to the list, it won’t be long before the delicious food of Indian will reach more people around the world.
