A place as vast and varied as India naturally has a diverse range of culinary traditions. On this trip, I focused mostly on rich and delicious Rajasthani and Awadhi cuisines. Waitstaff frequently ask Westerners about their preferred spiciness level, and the kitchen will likely tone it down regardless of the answer. In general, expect deep and complex flavors but not necessarily precise presentations, even in the fanciest establishments.

Whenever I go to India, well-meaning friends and family warn me to be careful about what I eat. Fortunately, I have yet to experience the slightest problem. The venues we recommend (and those recommended by our local partners) are as safe as restaurants in the United States.
