Indian Restaurant
10 Answers
Hi, I'm going to an Indian restaurant on Friday night for the first time and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what to eat. I like spicy food (but not too spicy) and I think I would prefer a lamb dish. Any recommendations or dishes I should avoid?

Avoid anything hot as it�s probably just spiced up to cater for the after pub crowd - someone once told me that a �Phal� was just an in joke within the curry house trade to purposefully set the mouths of lager louts on fire who came in and asked for �the hottest thing you�ve got�!
Generally the curries come out in individual platters so if you�re going with good friends you�ll have the opportunity to have a bit of everything!
Just go for a medium anything yourself and enjoy - I love curry!! Mmmmmmm!

A lamb dhansak is my fave.....sweet, slightly sour and med hot cooked in a lovely creamy sauce with lentils.
As mentioned, it really is a matter of taste. I love sweet curries with lots of fruit, coconut and creasm in mine....i know other who hate it and prefer a drier biryani. Of the good choices around are sag aloo (spinach), dopiaza (onions) Pathia, Ceylon, Passanda or even the very mild Korma.
