Wondering if ATMs and places like restaurants shops in India easily take American Express or its better to get a Visa or Mastercard
doubt a lot of ATMs accept Amex - at least i did not see the stickers on some of the banks like SBI, HDFC. i think icici bank does.
No - its not a thing here. just take visa or mastercard - accepted everywhere. Amex needs specific machines so it might be hard to come by. some fuel stations we used did accept Amex but otherwise not.
Lot of places in big cities - Mumbai, Delhi accepted Amex - restaurants, bars, tour companies so we never had any problem. did not see a lot of bus stops accepting Amex.

Good restaurants will, smaller restaurants wont accept Amex. Not all ATMs will accept Amex too. Visa, Mastercard, CUP, JCB are the better ones to take with you.
Bank of India ATM located at Shimla Mall Road - accepts Visa, Mastercard, and JCB. Fairly easy to spot.
Easy withdrawal at IndusInd. Doesnt accept Amex or Diners, but most other cards work.
DCB Bank in India does not accept American Express. Disappointed, not sure why AMEX isnt supported.
