And it seems Schwarzenegger did succeed in his quest to taste some good Indian food.

“Besides the food, I had a great time speaking to the Delhi Sustainability Summit. I’ll share the video as soon as I have it!” Schwarzenegger wrote on his Twitter page.

“I loved the food. I’ve loved my first trip to India. Here I am with the biggest piece of naan in Delhi. Thank you all, especially @andyz136, for the recommendation to eat at Bhukara. It was fantastic!” he further posted. The naan was specially made for him by the chefs at Bukhara.

Bhukara is a restaurant in Hotel Maurya Sheraton. Schwarzenegger’s excitement regarding Indian food was quite evident with his first tweet after landing in the capital, asking people to suggest him some good restaurants.
