The variety, mix of spices and unique flavour profile have taken Indian cuisine to a global platform. So much so that today you will find a significant rise in the number of Indian restaurants across the world. Recently, one such Indian restaurant made the headlines, but not because of its menu or the taste of the food. Content creator couple Sneha and Veeru, who go by the name @soulmates_xpress on Instagram, recently shared a video featuring an Indian restaurant in Switzerland, where we could see female employees serving food to the patrons in a classic Indian wear - Salwar Kameez. While we couldn't see the menu or the dishes served at the restaurant, what impressed us was the desi decor, paintings on the wall and lights and huge chandeliers, adding to the vibe of the space.

"Who knew I'd find a slice of India in Switzerland that's more Indian than India itself? Stepping into Indian restaurants in most of Europe is like a cultural time machine - rich traditions and vibrant decor that sometimes out-Indian India!" the post read.

On the other hand, some people feel, "I bet food there would not taste anywhere near original Indian taste...they are just compensating with loud show-off."
Another person wrote, "Gaon ki shadi mein aye jese lag raha (it seems they have come to a village wedding)".
A comment read, "We suffer from cultural cringe."
