My wife is South Indian, I've been to India numerous times, and the only two restaurants in RI that are anywhere close to authentic Indian are Chennai Express (on Reservoir Ave ) and Godavari (in Cumberland, so outside your zone). Everything else is, for the most part, Americanized. Chennai has incredible biriyani, get the Chicken Special Biriyani. Also try Aloo Papdi chaat and Paneer Butter masala, with some garlic or butter naan.

Godavari is no joke.

I thought I liked spicy and I couldn’t even eat their medium!

It’s very good but I have to order mild each time.

Any of those places make aloo dum? It was a dish you could get in nyc pretty easily but I haven’t seen any RI places make it (guessing it’s a regional dish?).

If I was getting the electric chair and had to choose one last meal before I die, it would be the chicken tikka masala from Chennai. My favorite restaurant in RI.
