Ahmedabad has the best street food and chaat in India, didn't get the hype of Mumbai in that aspect.
You haven't lived without trying Karnavati's dabeli, best in the world and hits the spot after all these years.
You get amazing Indian food here in UK though and it's developed almost on par with India.
Closer to home, there's Blue Zenzer, which is a blend of Indian-Italian, I keep ordering their Indian style Risotto.
I'd risk going to Alperton for their Street food and Indo-Chinese, awful paan stained streets but worth it for road side food and sugar cane juice/ice golas/Pani Puri. Better food in those stalls and dingy shops than the supposed fine dining you get at sit down places, if you want to rough it out.
Was surprised to find memorable food in Dorset which is not predominantly Indian, best chick pea curry I've ever tasted at this Nepalese restaurant: The 29029.
Dubai and even Doha, hands down have the best Indian food, I prefer it to Indian food in India.
Whenever I visit, the matka biryani, malai paneer, fried bhindi are staples at Govinda's. Best fine dining experience that is very reasonably priced.
Maharaja Bhog for their Rajasthani thali and all you can eat Pani Puri.
There's great little finds in the Indian areas of Dubai, near/in Meena Bazaar; Puran Mal for their chaat, can't beat their moong daal Pani Puri. And Veg World legit has the best Indian sandwiches, a take on Bombay Club sandwiches but better!
