Is there something about yogurt, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, paprika or cardamom or whatever that jacks people up?
Probably.

I had zero issues during my time in India.

But, ya gotta admit, ANY buffet is playing Russian Roulette with your bowels.

That hurts to read. Not because of the food, but whoever wrote should stick to twitter.

Don't get me wrong, I like Indian food just as much as say whatever the authentic Chinese food is called, but the idiots on FB/Twitter that are always whining about how the Heights needs an Indian restaurant are annoying.

I'm more excited about Kings Beergarden adding another option (other being Hughies) where I can take my kids and get turnt.

Indian Bhuna, Curry, Vindaloo, and Biryani are all delicious with no coconut.

Can't go wrong with tikka masala or jalfrezi. Probably gonna want to get some samosas, maybe some naan.

So which of these are going to be pretty spicy? As someone else said Indian food uses a ton of yogurt, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, paprika and cardamom. None of which are spicy.

I generally avoid dishes that have much sweetness to them unless its dessert.

I know it's not authentic, but the fisherman's curry at queen vic is amazing.

paprika and ginger when used in a certain way can both give a spice. Paprika has a whole range of spice to it.

Hmm if you say so. I've never felt any kind of spice from paprika before, but then again I've never done much indian food. I always just thought of paprika as very flavorful, but not necessarily a spice like a hot pepper with a burn

After chatting with my friend in the office who is married to an indian guy, she tells me to avoid north indian food as their dishes are primarily sweet. South indian is much heavier spice

just go try London Sizzler at 59 and Hillcroft and tell them you want them to make it spicy.

It's British style Indian but I've never taken anyone there that didn't enjoy it.

So why is it Indian and European food? What's the connection between the two?

I have been to the lunch buffet 2X. I have eaten at about 10-15 different Indian restaurants.

I am very open minded... but would have to say the buffet is below average at best. Both times, there were only a few people eating there.

If others like it, to each their own... but my personal opinion is that this place needs a do over on recipes (unless the dinner menu is significantly different).

Everything tastes Americanized... I don't taste much in the line of Indian spices... and every dish just generally tastes the same. There is just nothing special or memorable about the food.

I truly hope the restaurant is doing well for your buddy's sake, but wanted to provide some honest feedback that may be helpful.

I will say that the two waitstaff that I interacted with were very nice.

Well... since I too was part of the Frydek community in the past...there is a 99.99% chance we know each other.
