TikToker Goes Viral With Wholesome Video Of Himself Trying Indian Food For The First Time

TikToker @lukefoods clearly had his mind blown while trying Indian food for the first time from a restaurant in Kentucky.

Whether or not we consider ourselves "foodies," there is inevitably a meal that we really, really love.

There may be no greater taste in the world than that dish, except perhaps getting to see someone we love try that dish for the first time.


That was a lot of TikTokers' experience recently when fellow TikToker @lukefoods tried Indian food for the very first time.

While sitting in his car in a dress shirt and tie, Luke held up his order of onion bhajis, garlic naan, and butter chicken to the camera, confiding that he had never tried Indian food before and was excited to dive in.

He ordered his lunch from India Oven: Fine Indian Restaurant in Kentucky.

Luke did what many of us do when trying something new and compared the food from the Indian restaurant to other food he had eaten before. The onion bhajas reminded him of a really good onion ring, while the garlic naan was like garlic parmesan bread.

The one issue was that he clearly didn't know how to prepare the dish, as he did not pour the butter chicken over rice or dip the naan into the chicken, eating everything separately instead.

And the TikToker was clearly floored by the flavor profile and use of seasonings:

"That seasoning is out of this world. It has a nice garlic parmesan taste and is cooked to perfection. I'm not even joking."
"It's thin bread, but it has so much flavor to it. In fact, this might be the best bread I've ever had in my life. 9.5 out of 10."

Fellow TikTokers were so pleased that Luke had enjoyed the food, and hoped that he would go back soon to try other dishes as well as approach eating the buttered chicken differently.

Since the video went viral, we wouldn't be surprised if Indian food restaurants see a surge in orders, both from those who are now in the mood for their favorite dish after seeing the video, and from those who now feel brave enough to try something new.

Gavin Newsom Shames Trump For 'Politicizing' Los Angeles Fires In Powerful Clip

After President-elect Donald Trump spread lies about the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, blaming California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom for the destruction, Newsom addressed the matter on CNN, telling Anderson Cooper that Trump "wanted to politicize" the disaster even as people flee and lose their lives.

Deadly wildfires in Los Angeles County remain largely uncontained, with officials reporting at least five confirmed fatalities so far. However, on Thursday, authorities admitted, “frankly, we don’t know” the true extent of the death toll. Evacuation orders are currently affecting nearly 180,000 residents, as thousands of homes and buildings have been destroyed.
