K2k6 is right
that you can't find a good one over here, despite having an Indian population. Or rather, if you do find a good one, it's terribly expensive.

But also, when I've had curry it's been... I dunno, lacking somehow. It was fiery, but without a lot of flavor to me. I think it's that they don't use vinegar or tomatoes or salt in it.

Consider Greek or Italian food- they use a fair bit of vinegar and tomato, as well as other spices. Ditto with Mexican. Chinese and Thai tend to be very flavorful, but Indian tends to be strangely bland with a lot of heat. Or maybe it's just that I've only had really awful Indian food- I don't know.

I never did try Mexican food over there to see if it sucked in comparison to what we get here, but that's the way to bet. We have a lot of Mexicans here, so Mexican is often really good here- but is also often really bad, depending on how cheaply it's made.

Then again, I am living in Richmond, where the only restaurants that really seem to do well are the chains and the ones that serve either burgers or barbecue. Richmond is a serious backwater when it comes to food.
