I used to think I knew the good Indian restaurants, but my Indian friend let me know that they were all garbage.

Can't remember the names of the places he suggested, but it was a very short list.

What if your Indian friend has garbage taste in Indian food? Sort of the equivalent to your American friend telling you that the 99 is the best American restaurant.

Haha I don't have any American friends that say that.

Him and his wife have cooked for me and also we've gotten takeout from the places he talked about. Significantly better. Really it came down to the sauces and flavors. Way more balanced flavor and also less oily. I came to realize most Indian restaurants around here are a much more fast food version of Indian food.
