The best Indian food I’ve had was in the Czech Republic. There’s probably some localization with how they make them there, but I loved it.

Had fantastic dry ramen in Busan, South Korea. Place was run by Japanese people though.

Carbonara in Krakow, Poland.
It was authentic and tasted incredible.
The next few I ordered at «italian» restaurants had ham, cream, peas (!!!) and one even onions. I just stopped ever ordering it out and learned to make it myself, but the one in Poland will forever be in my mind.
I lived in Russia for a while about 15 years ago. Burger King and KFC were so fucking good there. I was so disappointed when I came back to the states to find Burger King as cold uneatable garbage again.
BK in Europe is actually edible, sometimes even good

Had some great Neapolitan pizza in Weesp, Netherlands.
I haven't had brisket often, but the best one was in Zurich. They had a specially made smoker and all.

I'd say Indian in Manchester, but after so long, Manchester is kinda known for its Indian food so it may no longer be a "not from there" thing!
It’s mainly Anglo-Indian anyway, which is its own thing and not Indian.
Ramen in Italy. Not the best Ramen I ever had but best outside of Japan. I also had very authentic Chinese in Italy. Had some of the best burgers I've ever had in Japan. China had a lot of odd takes on American foods and chains. There's kind of a long list here.
I was out on business floating around the Cayman islands going from point to point and met a small statured man from the Philippines. he had this amazing boat that was so whimsical it felt as if it had floated out of a story book. it had these incredibly tiny glass chimes hanging from the palm roof and with the washing of the waves it sounded like magic.
anyway, he offered us something to eat and we obviously couldn't say no. he quickly began to work on his boat cooking up a storm. he was an absolute master at what he was doing! it was such a thrill to see him toss a bit of this and that into his pot and watch over it lovingly as it simmered. the air was filled with this amazing aroma of garlic, saffron, and tomato.
finally after a mouthwatering hour of cooking he plated the most beautiful Bouillabaisse for us to enjoy, and what a treat it was! it was the best Bouillabaisse I have ever had in my life!
unfortunately, I heard not that long after that the cartel found him and took his life. it's a shame that nobody will ever get to experience his cooking again, he was truly a master.

Had better sushi in Taiwan than Japan on the same trip.
French toast in a Hong Kong restaurant in (Low Yat tech mall in) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was awesome. Just some toast with some peanut butter, done in a very special way so that it seemed a totally new dish to me. Place has shut in the meantime. :(
Also, if you're ever in Prague, visit Yuniku, the best Korean BBQ restaurant I've ever been to, and that list is not short.
A bison Burger in Greece. It was like last minute need to catch a boat just grab whatever. Got this burger and it was amazing. On one of the small islands with no cars.
Pequin Duck on a small venue in Berlin, side by a river. One of the best seasoned food I ever had. Don't get me wrong, I'm from São Paulo, Brazil, and one can have the best food ever of each part of the world here. Not joking, I've had better German food here than in Germany. I've had better Italian food here than in Italy. Turkish, Greek, Chinese, you name it. If you really wanna taste incredible food, you gotta came to Brazil.
I had awesome pizza in New castle (UK) once.
There was a place I only went to once, closing night of it, that did amazing Mediterranean food. Probably as authentic as they could try to make it here in the states. It was to die for it was so good.
Otherwise, close by to where that place used to be is an Indian restaurant that has the best vindaloo I have ever had.
