I'm at an Indian restaurant and I love how their ticket system (showing when you food is ready to be picked up) has a very, very rough and homemade feeling. It's fitting the place very well.

Take a pic

Indian restaurants abroad can't pay their respects to the recipes. They will mold the recipe to fit the local customer's taste preference or they will jack up the spices or make it too sweet to make people feel like they are trying a new thing.

@Sid2006 same for Chinese

@Nanos If we ever met, I would try to make you experience real Indian cuisine.

I've been cooking my lunch and dinner for the past 2 months. I've gotten quite good at it.

@azuredivay
Not even tn the UK?
What region are you speaking of?

Had a curry last week with a couple of world sailors that once stranded somewhere in India and had to take in locals later, thus learned from them.
That seemed quite complex, of course slightly more intense than the local restaurants, but still quite similar.

Well, happens everywhere.

Chefs in new York making """paella""" with chorizo say hi...

@Sid2006 @azuredivay They're open for 19 years and from my observation (I have been eating there regularly before moving) they're mostly serving Indians. No need to cater to local tastes that way and they're open for almost 20 years now ;)
With my limited experience I'd consider it very authentic. I had Vegan Curry Thali, but I also really like their Bhindi Thali.

@topsecret230 I thought about it, bit it was a bit too difficult to do without capturing someone, which I'd consider rude even if I crop them out later.

It was 2/3 black screen, on the right a green column with a title (like "orders") and the numbers. The most recent one was red and new ones get announced with a semiprofessional recording of the numbers that get punched together.
