Few things define a country as much as its food and it is in this sphere that India really comes into its own. Food is woven into every aspect of Indian life and the smells and tastes of the cuisine of this incredible country will stay with you forever. From the vast array of street foods to luxury hotel fayre, Indian food has something to suit all tastes and palates. In such a vast country, there are huge regional differences between the states and the dishes of North and South India. It is estimated that a third of Indians are vegetarians (and the cow is sacred to Hindus so beef is off the menu) and wherever you go there are clear options for ‘Veg’ and ‘Non-veg’ menu choices. Some cities, especially spiritual retreats such as Rishikesh, are purely vegetarian and so are some hotels. Check in advance as well if you are partial to an alcoholic beverage, as some cities and hotels are ‘dry’ and do not serve alcohol.

Indian cuisine has a reputation for being super spicy, but this is not always the case. Spices are certainly fundamental to the dishes of India but are often subtle and simply flavoursome, rather than overpowering. In international hotels, they usually cater for more western tastes, alongside traditional Indian food.
