Indian cuisine is finally getting its due around the world. And it's not just the fancy fine-dining establishments that are receiving attention. Even smaller, no-frills eating spots abroad are being recognised for their role in providing flavourful Indian dishes to local foodies. Recently, a casual Indian restaurant in the USA won an accolade from the prestigious Michelin Guide. Manohar's Delhi Palace, located in La Puente In California, has been around since 1990. Now, after more than three decades of operations, it has been recognised for its culinary offerings.

It highly recommends the restaurant's samosas, which it says are "fried to a perfect crisp with that comforting filling of potatoes and peas." It also suggests that diners should try the chicken tikka masala and gulab jamun here.
