I just had Chicken Tikka Masala for the first time and it might be the best thing I have ever had

What world foods would you say it's easy to get or not get? Is Texas broad in its diversity? Because where there is immigration there is a broad spectrum of good food. Love that you loved Tikka Masala.
I... have never eaten in the actual place. My lazy ass always postmates. Indian pizza delivered through my livingroom window.
Across all of the major cities in the us (and Canada) I've been to and having asked all of my desi friends/family, I've come across only one place that has rumali roti...

Its generally the usual fast food and BBQ here by me, but there is some great Asian Restaurants as well. Indian food is almost non-existent near me.
Seriously. Where has this food been my whole life? How have I lived my life in such ignorance?
For those asking what it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala
Welcome to Indian food.
Yeah even in a place as diverse as Chicago I only found one place that sells it, and it's $4 a piece!!
A grill item (Tikka, Seekh Kabab, Chicken Boti, etc) with Dal chana or Dal tadka is a match in heaven.
If you're not that familiar with indian food, get familiar. If you liked Tikka Masala then get stuck in!!
lol. I guess we might be talking about the same place. On Devon St? They have decent bheja fry too.
I'm just going to let you know I paused and reminded myself that Texas is a state, not a city. Sorry. I stand by everything I said, but I got the scale wrong.
Aren't both Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken both technically British food in origin? :D
It's kind of funny, because all of my Indian friends prefer Butter Chicken over other traditional Indian dishes...
I once had naan bread, and only naan bread, for dinner. I don't regret it at all.

We had never had much Indian food. There was one single restaurant in my hometown, had the buffet once or twice, it was good, but not that great.
Moved to Ann Arbor, MI, 4 or 5 times the size a few years back, and it became my favorite restaurant visit.
I like Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken Biryani. Some others I can't remember. Also, it is the only kind of food that I like vegetarian...Chana Masala and Dal Makhani and Palak Paneer are all tasty.

Oh I fully plan on it now. I just gotta find the best place near me now or figure out how to make it myself lol
Ahaha. No actually, this is Gaylord's Fine Dining. It's in Schaumburg. Which one you talking about on Devon?
Don't forget the sides. Bahjis. Prawn Puri, Sag Panir......Shit I need to eat.
Yup. It's a westernized Indian dish. I like it because its accessible and is a gateway to more authentic South Asian cuisine.
I like my curry's to be hot and spicy. Madras, vindaloo mmmm. But I do like a good dhansak too.
Fuck, I love curries

God bless! After I finish it, if I have left over sauce I go to Popeye's and dip fried chicken in it.
India house. I think I remember Sabri nihari also having it.
If you're in DFW, Irving is the place to go. It's probably got the most Indian places within easy reach. Arlington has a few good ones, as do Ft Worth and Dallas, but Irving is just chock full of good Indian places. The whole area really does need more Indian places. We have Thai and Vietnamese places out the ass, but not enough Indian.

I'm on the west side of Fort Worth. I will definitely keep that in mind though.
If you can find a place that makes it EVERYONE needs to try Balti once in their life. It's a whole new level of Indian food.

That was me lol
I went to eat with family and they insisted I try it and here I am 3 hours later looking up how to make it at home and trying to find the nearest Indian food lol
I'm actually struggling to think of a single Indian food dish I've had that I completely hated. Certainly had dishes that I prefer less than others (paneer, some seafood dishes) but for the most part I feel confident sampling anything Indian.
If I see an option for Thali on the menu, my eyes light up.

It's not that difficult to make basic stuff like butter chicken, jalfrezi and madras. Butter chicken i LOVE. When you've got the hang of things its fairly easy to cook to taste and have it all the way you like it. There are many good youtube videos.
Lamb and paneer dishes are amazing too.
You're in for a good time exploring indian food.
And OP - Garlic and Corriander naan is the way forward. Damn good stuff.
Careful with hot spicey levels. Some Indian dishes are as spicey as thai.
OP
OP
People keep telling me about the naan stuff. Is that something you can buy somewhere? Can you make it yourself?
In Ft Worth most of the Indian places are in the north, but I've eaten at Bombay Grill off 20 in west Ft Worth and can recommend it.
If you're willing to pop down to Arlington, Tandoor Kitchen is fantastic, but even better, they have a grocery store next door with everything you could possibly need to make your own. Giant bags of various masalas, rice, even tandoor ovens. They also carry hot pocket like versions of various indian foods. You should check it out.
