Quote HistoryQuoted: Not only do a love Indian food, for whatever reason ive always leaned toward the vegetarian dishes. I love Tandoor chicken and lamb...its amazing...but in truth I absolutely love saag paneer, jalfrezi, masala dishes, chana, aloo, gobi, dal....the list goes on. A good plate of biryani and saag kicks ass. Indian is the only kind of food I do this....any other style of food im a meat head. Indian...they actually know how to cook vegetables so they are savory. About 30% of the country is essentially vegetarian. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I haven't had much of it, but what I had I liked. Ten or twenty years ago, my cousin took me to a place on the North Side of Chiraq that had an all you can eat Sunday buffet. It was very good. There are a few places here in NE Ohio. I've never been to any of them. There is a place in North Olmsted that has the BEST chicken tikka masala I have ever had. Funny because other things I had there sucked, but the chicken tikka masala was AMAZING! I love Indian food. Wife and kids do as well. My only complaint is their spice level is all over the board. It is literally a gamble every time we get it. I like hot, my wife does not. She will tell them "NO SPICE" and the shit will be nuclear. I will order medium and it will be too hot to eat, or I will order hot and it has zero spice......... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As succulent and inviting as the River Ganges. So much said in one sentence. I agree but to each their own. Lots of folks don't care for my favorite hillbilly food. |

Which one is that? I know there's one on Detroit in Lakewood next to the salon and the cabling company. |

Next time you eat at an Indian joint, try a few of these with your meal:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Which one is that? I know there's one on Detroit in Lakewood next to the salon and the cabling company. Flavors of India on the Brookpark extension. Haven't been there in a while, but I assume it is still awesome. Indian Garden in the place you speak of in Lakewood. Really good as well. The food on their lunch buffet kinda sucks though, so don't go there for that or you won't go back..... Their Baingan Bharta is excellent if you like eggplant. If you ever find yourself in Akron, go to Saffron Patch in the valley. VERY GOOD. I was there a couple of years ago and some hard charger gets the table next to us. He orders chicken tikka masala and tells the waitress he wants it really hot. The waitress explains they have hot and Indian hot. He demands that latter. Poor bastard takes one bite and immediately becomes very uncomfortable. He begs the waitress for a coke, which he pounds like he has been in the desert for a week with no water. He slams a $20 on the table and basically sprints out the door........It was fun to watch

Quote HistoryQuoted: In before the GD Tender Tummy Brigade. Oh, I can eat it. I just can't find a reason I would. It is far down my list of ethnic foods I enjoy. I dont know why they have to make it all look like red, canned, dog food. The flavors and spices they use are fine. It's the processing that makes it unappealing. |

Goat curry, vindaloo, and madras are amazing. I love all Indian food. Gajar ka halwa for dessert is absolutely amazing.
Closest decent place is an hour south of here and I hit it every chance i can. |

I picked some up to go recently, still working on it. A place I'd never been before, happened to be next door to a UPS store my woman had to deal with. Curry chicken and potato/garlic naan, ordered as hot as they would make it.
Very disappointed, it barely made me sweat. I've eaten Indian food so spicy that I would have sweat running off my goatee. The waitress had to bring me a kitchen towel, and kept asking if I was OK. I just kept shoveling that stuff down, smiling and dripping. One place I got some take away that lasted a couple days. It was so jacked with spice that it was giving me vivid and weird dreams. I can't wait to got back there again. |

Chicken Tikka is my wife's favorite. However that is a British dish based on Indian cuisine. It isn't Indian.
Lamb Vindaloo is my favorite. Make sure it is HOT. |

I used to go to Michael's in Rocky River every week. They closed before the Xi Jin Flu. I think Joe's may still be open, but I don't think they allow dining in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never tried Indian and am reluctant to start. What I've had was very good. What's also good and much harder to get is Ethiopian food. The building where a buddy has his law office used to have a cafe in the basement. The guy who ran it was an Italian guy who was born in Ethiopia. Every year, he'd throw a party for his regulars and fix Ethiopian food. |

The southern/Christian traditions have waaaay better food than the Muslim/Northerners. If it's peppered, savory meats with sweet breads, it's southern. If it's spicy crap that looks like cat shit, it's the Muslim stuff. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Always order Indian hot, rarely ever hot. It makes me sad. An Indian restaurant we like is a very unassuming place in a strip mall. Really good food. If you order it hot, it's frigging HOT! Even if you don't order it hot, it's still hot. Our first clue that it would be a good restaurant was when we noticed that 90% of the other diners were Indian. |

Indian owner by me says he can’t get them out but he’s compelled to let them eat for free cause it’s part of their culture or something.

Back in the '80s when I lived in Chiraq, there was a little Korean place on Lawrence(?) Ave. The tables and chairs were literally cheap '60s style kitchen furniture. They had the best Korean food I've had outside of Korea. When I went, I was usually the only non-Korean there. |
