1939-established Paragon restaurant Kozhikode has been ranked at 11th position of the most legendary restaurant in the world, with biryani being termed its most iconic dish. “Paragon in Kozhikode, Kerala, is an emblem of the region’s rich gastronomic history, celebrated for its mastery of traditional Malabar cuisine. The dish that reigns supreme is the biryani, a blend of rice, meat, and spices, steeped in age-old traditions and prepared with locally sourced ingredients,” the guide said.
For Tunday Kababi, Taste Atlast said the star offering, the galouti kebab, is a culinary masterpiece featuring finely minced meat tenderized with raw papaya and an assortment of spices. "Its distinctive taste profile and the legacy behind its creation have garnered Tunday Kababi a devoted following, both domestically and internationally."
Describing Murthal’s famous Dhaba, the travel guide states that since its humble beginnings as a small roadside food stall, Amrik Sukhdev Dhaba has grown into a must-visit destination for travellers on the Delhi-Ambala highway. "Their claim to fame is aloo paratha, a stuffed Indian bread with a spiced potato filling, served with dollops of butter and homemade pickles. This dish, appreciated for its homely flavours and hearty nature, is emblematic of the wholesome, rustic food that dhabas are famous for, and it made Amrik Sukhdev Dhaba the institution it is today."
