Chai Pani, in Georgia & Asheville, North Carolina: Featuring thalis and street-food-inspired snacks, the restaurant has been well loved in both its locations. Try the kale pakoras, a Sloppy Jai (with lamb), a crispy masala fish tikka roll. And maybe a vada pao and Limca too.(Courtesy: Chai Pani)

Badmaash, in Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, California: They serve everything from Goan pork curry, beef short ribs and butter chicken samosas, to more traditional onion bhajias, chicken tikka and cheese naans. But the star is their poutine - masala fries topped with cheese curds, doused in piping hot beef gravy, topped with tandoori chicken tikka & cilantro.(Courtest: Badmaash)

Bombay Chopsticks by India House, in Chicago, Illinois: Indian-Chinese food that’s hard to find outside India. And old favourites that are getting hard to find in India too these days. Think vegetable Manchurian, dragon rolls, meatballs, Drums of Heaven, and smooth dry Hakka noodles.(Courtesy: Bombay Chopsticks by India House)
