Same goes for whats passed off as Indian food in US, highly priced fakes, you won't find anything in an average Indian's platter.

We have good authentic Indian food here.

Good all around Indian, veggie and non. The veggie stuff is the best.

Kuan,

What they pass off as Indian is a far cry from what is actually Indian, dignitaries from US and rest of the world who are into Indian cuisine come to India to taste the real stuff, what you get in US is also un-neccesarily expensive.

I have been to expensive Indian restaurants that absolutely sucked. They were very heavy on the bread and little else. But our local Bombay Bistro is one of the best, and cheapest. The chutneys will knock your socks off. Of course this is relatively speaking, never having been to India.

See the so called highly rated ones, NY Times, Zagat etc. are truly atrocious, the ones in NY and SF as well as Washington DC, their menu and dishes don't taste anything like what it is in India, majority of the dishes don't even exist in India.

Well I think it's authentic. My friends from India say it's authentic. That's all I can say. You should come over we can go eat. How hard is it to make Dosa? Maybe there's some micro organism in the air here that makes it ferment different.

Seriously, where do you live in the US? Because my Indian friends swear you can get Indian food here as good as back in India.
