What to expect at a modern Indian restaurant
Indian and South Asian restaurants serve curries, tandoori dishes, breads and rice from across the subcontinent, plus Nepali, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan specialties. North Indian dishes – butter chicken, tikka masala, naan – are the most familiar, while South Indian restaurants focus on dosas, idli and vegetarian thalis.
What to order
- Butter chicken or chicken tikka masala – the mildest and most popular curries
- Dal and chana masala – hearty vegetarian staples

- Garlic naan – baked in the tandoor
Good to know
