America's "most outstanding" restaurant is an Indian one! So is it authentic? Does it beat India? I flew from Mumbai to find out.

Chai Pani (चाय पानी) in Asheville, North Carolina, won the "America’s Most Outstanding Restaurant" title at the James Beard Foundation Awards. The James Beard awards are considered the Oscars of the food world in the US.

So let's see if Chai Pani lives up to the award. I'm going to analyse the price, quality, taste, and authenticity of Chai Pani's Indian food and tell you whether or not you should visit for yourself.

Queues at Chai Pani start at 10.30am on a Saturday. So arrive early! Find Chai Pani, Asheville, on Google Maps https://g.page/ChaiPani.

"It really feels like a turning point for how Indian cuisine and culture are perceived in the US as equal as any of the other cuisines that are celebrated like Eurocentric French and Italian American cuisine," Mr Meherwan Irani told The National."

Correction: 02:04 The owner, Meherwan Irani, is from Ahmednagar.
