I love it.

Winging it's way to my house at this very moment is a box filled with:

1 - Chicken Tikka Biryani
1 - Chicken Biryani
2 - Large Trays of Vegetable Sauce/Curry (Extra Potatoes)
1 - Chicken Tikka Starter
3 - Porathas
1 - Bag of Chips
1 - Can of Coke

That's enough to feed 7 people and it'll only come to about £20. Less than £3/person for a full plate of fine cuisine.

Take THAT, McDonalds!

I wish I had something like that.

we do have an indonesian restaurant nearby, though.

[vyper]

[Jetmech Jr.]

[Flipside]

LOL I liike those Naan breads with Sultanas and Coconut

Can't beat a good Curry

[Jetmech Jr.]

When I lived in Japan, we used to have this excellent curry restaurant right down the street from where we lived. CoCo's, I think it was called. Simple delicious food, but expensive as hell.

*loves the wide variety of cultural foods available here*


*curses the lack of mexican food, though*

[Knight Templar]

We've got Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Texican, Irish, Italian and Thai.

I've never had Indian.

I'm near DC, home of resturants and embassies. we have everything. in fact, there is a buffet that has japanese, chinese, and american food.

I miss Mexican food too... I grew up in Houston, Texas.  More variety in places to eat well and affordably, than any place I've ever been. (close call is Sydney, Australia, but I wasn't there long enough to get a wide variety)  I hate the lack of good and cheap cuisine in Michigan sometimes...  there's good food, but it's really hit or miss and mostly expensive with bad service...  but that may be because I live so close to a college town...

Anyhow, for dining out and good food, you can't beat the big cities because the restaurant buisiness/food suppliers gain from the economics of scale.  Fresh meat/cheese/vegetables are actually EASIER and CHEAPER to get in big cities (at least around Houston it was) than in the country (unless you are going for the one or two things local, like buffalo, apple cider, and mushrooms in Michigan).

But that's about $5 a plate you're getting, which is good for Indian delivery...  but way more expensive than McDonalds are here.  But you're (rightfully) paying a little more for better food.  I think I've eaten at two McDonalds in the last 4 years... and one of them was in France .  You are what you eat, so eat well!

... now I want some Indian food...    Maybe I'll make a curry dish this weekend!

Any food that's not our local type of barbecue is inherently inferior.

[Vaelinx]

Styxx, with a comment like that I would've placed you from Tenessee until I read your location.

[Flipside]

Let's see, we have...English, Turkish, Greek, Indian, New Orleans, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and American restaurants within 10 min bus ride of here. That's one good thing about London

[beatspete]

onion bajees  >  everything else

[Taristin]

I know of no Indian restaraunts around. There's tons of Chinese, Italian, German, Japanese, Greek, hybrid, and generic crappy fast foods, but not Indian... Which is odd, because this part of NY has a very (and I mean very) mixed population from just about everwhere on the globe.

[an0n]

Around here there's pretty much everything except Mexican.

There's like 4 Indian places that deliver and 4-5 that are sit-in places. One Pakistani place. There's a ****load of chip-shops that double as Chinese places. There's a whole ****load of Italian and pizza places. One Greek place (I think). And some American (KFC).

Indian places seem to be big around here. I guess it's because of the high percentage of Indian people in the town.

[Setekh]

There's no types of food I'm aware of that you can't find somewhere in Sydney. I'm glad my university's Union does a good job of getting lots of different foods around the place.
