Let’s talk about the curry! Nothing else touches spiced gravy made of vegetables, meat, or, as tradition would have it, both for wide-spectrum mass market appeal.

Such delights as full-bodied chickpea curry, chana masala, and spinach curry with Indian cottage cheese cubes called saag paneer would be served to vegetarians.
Dishes on the menu would frighten the unsuspecting. To start, I’d suggest the following to start their culinary sojourn on the Indian platter:
Vegetable Biryani- Flavoured rice-based preparation prepared by mixing assorted veggies, herbs, and spices. Assortment of comfort food with varied textures.
Chana Masala: Masala-coated hearty chickpea curry, tangy yet comforting.
Saag Paneer: soft curry of spinach with cubes of Indian cottage cheese; while it is creamy, just the right touch of spiciness present.
Aloo Gobi: curried potatoes and cauliflower cooked with the pungent flavor of garlic and Indian spices-a vegetarian delicacy.
To add to that enjoyment, naan, roti, or rice is a great accompaniment, excellent for sopping up curries and stews.
Now that you know what is in your belly, let’s talk a bit about the experience of eating. At an Indo-Nepalese restaurant, you are most likely to be greeted warmly and seated, at times on traditional floor seating, so check ahead of time.
And do not hesitate to ask your server any questions you may have about the spiciness or change in taste when ordering; they will be happy to assist you find the dishes that would truly suit your taste!
Here Nepalese and Indian cuisine constitutes a beautiful mosaic of flavors, aromas, and impressions at the table. Familiarity with at least a little about spices and condiments will enable you to take another bold step into the menu and enjoy heavenly dishes. Ask your waiter for an opinion or order what suits you best, and get them prepared in the manner you would like it to be. And of course, a stiff naan, soft roti, or fluffy rice makes for the perfect accompaniment.
