What’s the most accessible thing to order in an Indian restaurant for someone who doesn’t like Indian food?

Going to a party at an Indian restaurant and my boyfriend isn’t a big fan Indian food (mostly the spices). What would be the most accessible thing that he can order? Tandoori Chicken? Biryani?

I have friends that call Butter Chicken the ‘white man’s Indian food’ :o ) It can be made to be mild. Tika Masala is the same way. Most Indian food is served with plain rice, so he can spoon as much or as little as he wants onto it. Also the Na’an bread is really good (and plain). He could always order something and eat just a little and take the rest home for you to eat later.

  3. Tell your boyfriend to stop being so damn selfish. It’s only a couple of hrs and after he can go to Hooters and drink beer.

  4. Do they have the Indian Fry Bread stuffed with beans and stuff like that>? Thats what I order when I go on the reservation. I love it! It’s plain and similar to the Mexican stuffed Sopapilla.

  5. Some kind of rice dish and some garlic naan bread. Yummy.
    If hes a tiny bit adventurous, maybe butter chicken, but have it made with breast, so its nicer. Good luck.
    Also ask for it not too spicy.

  6. tandoori chicken or butter chicken. Pakoras are good too. He will not probably use the green sauce with cilantro…Most people like them on their first visits.

  8. Murgh Malai Kabab is pretty mild if spice is an issue.

    It’s basically boneless chicken in a mild marinade. :)
