Re: Indian food thread
Apologies for grunching... my thoughts:
Always order naan with your meal. It's delicious and it's sort of expected, or at least it shows that you're not an Indian food noob.
Good dishes for those who aren't too fond of spicey food:
Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken Jalfrezi
Chicken Do Piaza
(the "chicken" can usually be substituted with "beef", "lamb" or sometimes "shrimp" as desired)
Mom & Pop Indian places are usually WAY better than the chains, in my experience at least. If you can find a place where the guy cooks and the wife waits tables, this is ideal. You will get the best meal of your life.
Also, for some reason, Indian restaurants tend to let you sit there forever before they bring the check (maybe a cultural/politeness thing, not wanting to interrupt, maybe random coincidental experiences on my part) so just don't get upset if you're sitting there post-meal for a few minutes before they bring your bill.
Take home leftovers - Indian food leftovers are AWESOME and pretty much the only thing I'll reheat the next day (I'm lazy).
