Going to an Indian Restaurant....any recommendations?

Question

Can you recommend a dish, as I don't want to order something that will burn my face off?

Answer 1

Tandoori Chicken is a very popular Indian dish, just like how Pad Thai is a very popular Thai dish or how sushi is a popular Japanese dish. It's basically chicken marinated in yogurt and seasoned with tandoori masala, a mixture of garam masala, garlic, ginger, cumin, and cayenne pepper. It's cooked in a tandoor, which is a clay oven. You could also try naan, which is basically a flatbread, very similar to pita, and also cooked in the tandoor.

Answer 2

Well if you are non-vegetarian then a dish called Butter chicken is a good bet.  You could also try Tandoori Chicken (Chicken that is marinated in a sauce).  Some people like to eat Goat meat or Mutton.  For Vegetarian dishes there is Lentil Soup called Daal.  You could try some chick peas which is called Chaana and it goes good with a bread called Bhatura. Also try a dish called Muttar Paneer. This is peas with cheese.  For dessert my favourite is called Ras Malai.

Answer 5

If you are going to a good Indian place then they will have dosa's. They are soooo very yummy. They are a thin crisp bread stuffed with potatoes and other spices, and you will be able to get different flavors so you could choose your spice level, and they come with a few different chutneys. Also, samosas are excellent you can get them with or without meat. Hope you LOVE the indian food!

Answer 6

biryani (sp?) is delicious. It has a spicy kick but its not that bad. Usually it comes in either chicken or lamb, around here anyway.

ooh or tandoori chicken...yum

Answer 7

if you've not had an indian before you could start with a korma- really mild and creamy or massala or makhan, very tasty and slightly warmer without being too spicy. these are quite creamy too.

dupiaza and bhuna are not creamy and bit more spicier. stay away from dhansak, madras and vindaloo.

chappati's are nice too or naan bread if you can manage as they're bigger.

Answer 8
