Butter chicken is my go-to meal, along with bread and yogurt dip. when I travel in that region. The rest burns a hole in my mouth and stomach. I did see Buffalo steak on the menu in India but didn't have the courage to try it.

My favorite Indian restaurant in London is the Cinnamon Club. They do serve some exotic meats on occasions. Pretty sure it isn't food most people eat at home.

Consider trying Royal Nawaab for your next dining experience. This restaurant has two locations in London, one in the West and another in East London.

It offers a diverse buffet with approximately 100 Pakistani dishes, although it identifies as an Indian cuisine establishment to appeal to a broader audience. Noteworthy menu items include Butter Chicken, Chicken Jalfrezi, Tawa Fish, Taka Tak, Saag, and various vegetable options.

In addition to Pakistani cuisine, Royal Nawaab provides Italian and English starters and desserts, all included in a fixed price of £27 + drinks.

I think Dishoom is London's most popular Indian restaurant with branches at Kings Cross, Carnaby Street and Canary Wharf, while Tayyabs has maintained its status as the leading Pakistani restaurant for the past two decades.

This is Royal Nawaab (bad video as overall it’s better than this).

Many people know this but many don't. Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. It is not a traditional dish.

Chicken Tikka Masala is a by-product of Tandoori chicken. The story goes Tandoori chicken originated in the 1940s, amidst the bustling streets of Peshawar in British India.14 Aug 2023

Is Chicken Tikka Masala Indian or British?​

 
I don't eat many dishes with Shorba or oil base stew (salan) but I do appreciate dry dishes quite a lot.
  • Goshtaba
  • Kadhi Pakora (pronounced Kurrie)
  • Any dish with Spinach :)
  • Mix Daal.
  • Zereshk pulao

It's Indian British I guess.

Indian food in the west can be confusing though. The Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are too embarassed to use their own country's name and always call them INDIAN restaurants, with decoration seeming to be from a cheap knockoff bollywood movie.

It has happened to me many times, go to an "Indian" restaurant only for find it's run by Lahoris and Karachiites.

Lived in the UK - Never have i been to a restaurant faking to being Indian. You are talking nonsense.
Even on a light hearted thread like food preference you have to come and vomit over it. You just cant help yourself can you?

No Pakistani restaurant is afraid to call themselves Pakistani here in the UK. Might be where you come from.

Oh and another thing the map who first put together the Chicken Tikka Masala was a Pakistani chef in a Pakistani restaurant;

The death of a Pakistani-Scottish chef who claimed he cooked up the world's first chicken tikka masala is prompting a flood of tributes to what's been described as 'Britain's national dish' — and reviving a debate into its true origin.

Ali Ahmed Aslam, known widely as Mr. Ali, died of health complications on Monday at age 77, his nephew Andleeb Ahmed confirmed to NPR.

Aslam was the owner of Glasgow's popular Shish Mahal restaurant, which he opened in 1964 after immigrating from Pakistan as a boy.

In his telling, Aslam devised the globally beloved recipe one night in the 1970s, when a customer complained that traditional chicken tikka was too dry. The chef went back to the kitchen and combined spices, cream and a can of condensed tomato soup. Voilà: the modern model for chicken tikka masala was born.

But so, too, was a debate about its origin.

Clearly an attempt to troll and bring this lovely topic down to his level.
I have visited restaurants up and down the length - never seen or heard of a Pakistani restaurant faking to be Indian. Absolute bollax talking.
In fact you call a Pakistani Indian - you are libel to get a slap.

Btw - like Keema with karalay. Love it.......
