Where I live in Germany there’s a great Indian restaurant, but the locals don’t like it. I suppose because it doesn’t serve mango chicken 🙄
Comment on So why are Indian curries so popular in the UK? (interest in culinary perspectives).

I suppose there are so many people with Indian roots in GB that you can actually get good Indian food there. There’s competition and enough people who know how it’s supposed to taste like. I mean, where I live in Germany we have Indian restaurants run by Indian immigrants, but they are quite often not very good.

We have two in my town. One is overly greasy, the other one overly salty. I suspect neither of them employs trained cooks but rather people that originally came here as tech students. I think both have mango chicken, but you can also get that in the Chinese places and in one pizza restaurant - which, despite having an Italian name, is run by Pakistani, but still has the second best pizza in town.

this is very important. There is both traditional and BIR food
(British Indian Restaurant)
And enough competition that the standards are high
