There are many foods that qualify to be included in this list. Let me attempt to put down a few.
Avakai- a mango pickle that is delicious and hot! An Andhra speciality.
Rasagolla- needs no description.
Appam- A Kerala version of the dosa, with a puff.
Ice cream. A perennial favourite of all ages.
Chocolate- another favourite over centuries. Can also be combined with ice cream for a double delight.
Prawn/Fish curry in coconut milk. Delicious stuff.
Chicken Chettinad.
Puran poli, a sweet roti which is a staple in Maharashtrian festivals.
Gilawati kabab, also called Tunde kabab. Originated in Lucknow with a melt-in-your-mouth softness.
Hyderabadi Biryani, exemplified by the stuff you get at Paradise (the restaurant).
Noodles- China would not exist without this.
Burger- Americans, and McDonald's would not exist without this.
Tandoori roti- the process of making it is itself fascinating.
Aloo tikki- simple yet great tasting.
Bhel- you can get creative with the ingredients here!
Pan- Banaraswala or any other, its taste and feel is unique.

This Gilawati (why it rhymes with Mayawati I do not know) sounds tempting.
I would add a New Orleans spicy Jambalaya (with crawfish) to this list.
Yeah, the Jambalaya is good too. Gilawati and Mayawati are a class apart! Legend is that a toothless Nawab ordered the cook to make something he could chew and thus was born the Gilawati kabab!
