As per a new worldwide food survey by Hotels.com, Indian cuisine and food is among the top 10 list of the world's best food preferred by global travellers while on holidays.
The survey questioned more than 27,000 travellers. About five percent of international travellers said they preferred Indian cuisine and food when on holiday.
The survey shows there is tough competition for more traditional favourites such as Italian and French cuisine.
International travellers favour mostly Italian (32 percent) and French (24 percent) cuisine while travelling or on holidays, while the dishes from the 'Land of the Rising Sun' Japan are gaining popularity with more cosmopolitan palates with 18 percent, the survey reveals.
