replying to u/Interesting_Common54: Indian Accent, Kanyakumari, Jalsa and Angel are my favorites. Semma, Gupshup, Dhamaka, Junoon, Masalawala and Sons are not worth going to For Indochinese Wok in the clouds is the best I've had, but it's not mindblowing. Better than spice symphony IMO. I've heard good things about Vatan and Indian Table but haven't been to either

“I got the goat with rice which was incredible. Their South Indian version of naan they call it a flat bread I believe. It’s so flake and buttery get 2 of those. The prawns were just okay.”

“The veggie stew tasted like canned soup. And the friend chicken was more oily than crispy. Maybe I went on a really off night but it was disappointing.”

“The curries were cold and they just added way too many spices to coconut cream. The beef was good though. But the quality of fish, and even sides like appam was not good.”

replying to u/banallthemusic: South Indian here and I’d attest that Saravana bhavan and Semma are awesome. Apart from that, Bungalow is awesome for innovative Indian food.
“Kanyakumari which opened last year has a fantastic, meat focused spread of regional South Indian food, but is on the pricier side.”

“Both are really good, but I’d say Gupshup is a bit more in line with what folks think of as Indian food here in the states, and Kanyakumari is definitely more unique and regional.”
