Kerala restaurant Paragon, which has branches in Dubai under the name Calicut Paragon, has been named as one of the “world's most legendary restaurants”.
The restaurant, located in the coastal city of Kozhikode, is 11th in the list of 150 dining spots across the globe published by online food guide TasteAtlas. The list also includes each restaurant's most iconic dishes, which is biryani in Paragon's case.
The Indian restaurant, which has been around since 1939, has outlets in Al Nahda and Al Karama, Dubai, and serves traditional Malabar cuisine.
The extensive list spans several countries and cuisines. Clinching the top spot is Figlmuller in Vienna, which is known for specialising in a single dish, the Schnitzel Wiener Art.
Katz's Delicatessen in New York City comes second with its pastrami on rye listed as an iconic dish. It is followed by Warung Mak Beng in Bali, La Polar in Mexico City and L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Naples.
Aside from Paragon, several other restaurants from India made it on to the list, including Lucknow's Tunday Kababi at number 12 and Kolkata's Peter Cat at number 17.
