McDonald’s, Burger King and KFC may be the world’s biggest fast food chains, but they’re not the only ones – or even the best. From Australia to India (and from delicious dishes like Asian spaghetti to Saudi Arabian fried chicken), we've rounded up the best lesser-known fast food chains around the world that you might not have heard of, but should definitely keep an eye out for.

Click or scroll through our gallery to discover the world's most amazing bucket-list fast food chains, counting down to the best of them all.

We’ve based our ranking on the enduring popularity of each chain in its place of origin and beyond, and on the opinions of our well-travelled (and well-fed) team. The list is unavoidably subjective.
