If you had to nominate 5 cuisines to eat for the rest of your life, choosing Indian as one would be extremely reasonable, whereas choosing Greek would be super lol.
Have you been to India? I haven’t but good friends whose opinions about Indian food I value assure me it’s orders of magnitude better than the best here (UK), and the latter is pretty good.

I have several times and the food eg small plates in Seville can be really top notch.
Dude seriously.
The foreign fare you get in America is often/usually a pale imitation.
I have started the thread:
Indian food is some of the best flavours in the world tbh, its so good and a tip is to try out there modern take on vegan food and Boom, we have a winner… 
Now overall I’d rather eat Italian or French food tbh as the spice is not for me long term but during this holiday season when eating out its got to be Indian.
Perú not being on the list is an automatic DQ.
These kinds of lists ard impossible tbh. A ten worst list would be massively easier imo.

Been to Spain many times. Valencia and Sevilla definitely put Spain in the top 10. My top 3 is Japan, Italy and France and I can’t bother arguing the order of the three even though Kaiseki dinner in Kyoto was the best meal I ever had and I have had some amazing food over the years.
Agree with Greece not belonging at all. No idea why it would even be in a top 25.
Not been to Sevilla. Valencia I have been to but didn’t spend time trying to eat well. I ate at well regarded places in Barca and they were average at best. Same story from friends I have whose opinion I trust and who tried to eat well there. Spanish food also doesn’t have the fine dining influence worldwide that Italy and France have, clearly. Perhaps this all reflects my experience though.
Bang per buck of population might be an interesting question but it’ll just be France and Italy up top again I suspect.
lol at putting Vietnamese on that list. And most Asian cuisine is way overrated. Especially Thai.
The stuff they serve in the US is pretty amazing, so I have to assume the real deal Indian food is truly outstanding.
Places I’ve been (Not fair to judge cuisine based on whatever version is being served in the US, IMO):
-
France
-
Italy
-
Caribbean
-
England
-
Scotland

I like most Indian food I’ve had in the US, but there are certain dishes, like many of the curry based ones, where if blindfolded I would be unable to distinguish from Thai curry dishes. But I’ve also never had Thai outside the US so it could just be that they’re Americanized 
Just off the top of my head, anybody accustomed to getting naan with their meal might have their mind asplode if they got good paratha instead.
I had some amazing food when I was there that I had never seen anything like in the US, especially in the southern part of the country. I had no idea what most of it was. I’d just point, eat, and be happy. I think there is an enormous depth to the food that we’ve barely begun to appreciate in the west, similar to how interior Mexican food was largely unknown here 30 years ago.
Indian food is also the only world cuisine where I could imagine myself being content as a vegetarian.

For me, eating out in Italy was as much about the experience as the food itself. It’s been a while but from what I remember I never spent less than ~two hours in a “ristorante” and that was a “quick” meal. Also there are variations between Northern and Southern Italy like the language itself
