Peshwari naan varies from a plain naan with some honey on it to a fancy naan with honey, coconut and sultanas

I have one word to describe my feeling watching you both trying those meals....JEALOUSY!

The vegetable curry you had goes together with the Chicken Biryani! The mixture wets the rice to make it less bland! 😅😅😅

If something's too hot, you had the antidote right there… That 'yoghourt' dip is raita, which takes the fire away after a bite of something too hot (either drizzled on the curry, or as a spoonful after the hot food, to kill the burn). The way Indians deal with it is a yoghourt based drink called 'lassi'… either salty or sweet… or occasionally flavoured with mangoes… to wash down the curry. Often served in pint glasses in restaurants.

That was the nicest most respectful review of food in the UK that Ive ever seen by an American. Thank you. It was fun watching you enjoy it

When it comes to Indian food in the UK, you'll realise that it's very rare for the dishes to be the same between different restaurants, so it can be a bit of trial and error until you find one that's really, really good and to your liking. If you do get the chance, do try out the peshwari naan someday if it wasn't included in the order, it's honestly supreme to all the others and goes really well with some dishes. Jalfrezi (and other dishes, I'm sure) will vary greatly from mild to spicy depending on the restaurant you order from.

Both the Phall and chicken tikka masala were invented in the U.K. While the vindaloo, which was thought to have been invented in the U.K was actually imported into Goa by the Portugese. As a suggestion, a great way to mellow a slight bit of heat is acid, so lemon rice pairs well with any hot curry.

My vegetarian friend's go to is vegetable dhansak, and I'm forever proud of him for coining the phrase that his guts the following day are usually "ransacked with dhansak"!

Poppadom's are lovely with chopped tomatoes and onion, sprinkled with chopped fresh mint.

Gosh! I don't think I've ever seen so much food for two people. Enjoy the next few days! It all looks delicious! 😎😎

Your 'extra rice' is part of the chicken Biriyani - it comes in 2 containers- the mixed vegetables (with the cabbage and possibly chick peas) is the sauce to pour over that rice. That's why it is dry. Well done for trusting our suggestions!

As long as you go to a restaurant Indians go to you won’t be disappointed. Butter chicken with pilau rice and a crispy butter naan is my favourite. Indian food is also a great option for vegetarians as there are just as many vegetarian dishes as there are meat to choose from so you’ll never get bored.

Most of the dishes in BIR, British Indian Restaurant, cookery start with a "base gravy" this is like a stock which the restaurants prepare ahead of time, this helps produce dishes quickly. The majority of dishes start with frying off some dry spices until they get aromatic, thern the onions and ginger and garlic are added these are fried until soft. after this ther different herbs are added to make the flaovr profile of the final dish. The base gravy is the reason that different restaurants dishes differ. MOst BIR have the same basic dishes but the base gravy makes all the difference.

So many dishes started in the UK for the British palate and now served in India, mainly in hotels and tourist destinations, but the UK has a huge Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani population and the food is now part of the UK's diet ...

The bit with you trying all the pickles and poppadoms was hilarious because thats exactly how we eat them not knowing when to stop and with a running commentary ❤

The mix vegetable curry you had was to accompany the biryani. My favourite order is Lamb Pathia , Saag bhaji with half chips and half fried rice, my partner has the Garlic chilli chicken. Have you tried a Balti yet? Invented in Birmingham. If you wanted to make these dishes at home, there's a guy on KZfaq called Al's Kitchen who does British Indian Takeaway Recipes.

As a starter. Tandoori mixed is absolutely wonderful in my opinion. Different meats in a tandoori coating. Wow.

I'm had an Indian last night, my usual order.... Chicken vindaloo, mushroom pilau rice and a garlic naan 👌

You get used to the different words. Aloo is potatoes, theres a few variants such saag aloo. Saag is essentially spinach, gobi is cauliflower and dhal is lentils . Thats 4 things you usually come across

The biriyani goes with the mystery box which is a vegetable curry.

Wow now thats an order... so yes, there's soo many more things to try: North Indian -Tandoori chicken -Samosa -palak paneer (spinach and cheese) -bhindi masala (okra) -gobi manchurian -cheese naan -beef/lamb keema -chicken korma -shahi paneer -dahl (tadkha and mahkani) -Galouti kebab -rogan josh -mali kofta -nihari -chole bhature Desserts -Gajar Ka Halwa -mango kulfi, or pista kulfi -kaju katli -koya burfi -jalebi South Indian -Masala Dosa -Kerala Fish Curry -Beef fry and parotta -lamb roast -chicken roast -chicken 65 -andrhra chicken fry -Appam and chicken curry -chicken chittinadu -Hyderabadi biryani -Malabari Biryani -Vindaloo (you already had it, but pork is the best one of it) -puri masala (fried bread and potato curry) -Crab curry -coorg pandi curry -fried fish (spicy, but it needs to be eaten right away,) Desserts -mysore pak -semia payasam -Kerala style Halwa

the woman is the enthusiastic food vloger... and the bloke is like "yeah its nice".. i love it

Thank you for the video and all the great comments. I shall save this video for my September visit to England

The main thing about Peshwari naan isn't the sultanas (these don't always get added), but it's the grated coconut that adds that sweetness with a slight crumbly texture alongside the softness of the bread, which is what makes it my favourite! Definitely try some on your next Indian outing 😋 Also an uncommon but amazing curry is Akbari Chicken, which is bbq'd chicken with medium spice and a rich sauce, so good! 🤤

As others have said, veg curry with the biryani, I usually put the whole biryani in a large bowl, add the curry and a tub of mint sauce (mint yoghurt chutney) and mix. Tastes so good 😋

The way that Indian food is spiced is like the way Americans make chilli, or barbecue sauce - everyone has their own recipe.

It’s tradition! When you get your order there is always something missing or something you didn’t order. This is how , over the years, I’ve tried things that I normally wouldn’t have lol.

I will be in India Next week for Food & Travel Vlogs. Tons of Love ❤❤❤ for India. Stephanie from London

Great to see you folks enjoy, because we LOVE Indian takeaway over here!

The biryani goes with the veg curry as "one" dish.

Keema Naan is for Winners! Finish it off in the Morning, that's the rules 😂

Superb level of commitment to content providing! 😂 It usually takes a few years of takeaways and restaurants to move through that many choices on the menu as people often stick to what they like. Lime pickle for the win though. I eat jars of that at home.

So many things you missed out on, some of which have already been mentioned in comments. There's easily enough to make Part2 with completely different UK Indian restaurant dishes, and every restaurant or takeaway does things differently anyway. Here's a few more suggestions for stuff you omitted: Starters: have spiced onions with your poppadoms. Also try samosas (veg or meat) pakoras (you can get a mixed selection but I recommend trying fish or haggis - probably not available outside Scotland 😢). If you like chickpeas try a chana puri for a change. Mains - as well as korma, another nice mild curry is pasanda. If you like mint as a flavour, look out for pudina on menus. Lamb pudina is a particular favourite of mine. Tandoori dishes are definitely worth trying. Tandoori salmon can be excellent, either as a starter or main course. Breads: Naans are ok but i find them heavy going and, for something lighter, order a paratha or two (always well-fired, for me!). Beers: Kingfisher. That's just a few ideas but there is SO much more to enjoy about Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi cuisine.

One thing you can make at home that's very cheap is Tadka Dhal. It's often sold as a side in but can be quite filling as the main ingredient is lentils. Also I'm surprised no-one mentioned a paneer, as that's quite a common thing in Indian restaurants here although admittedly not as popular as a lot of the stuff you tried.

We are new to your channel. Hubby says to try a kashmiri . It is very mild and fruity. It is his favourite. ❤

I just love the way that you are both up for trying everything.

Well done and kudos for trying to work your way through our bewildering array of Indian dishes. In reality in the Uk, the majority of "Indian" restaurants or takeaways/outs, are actually owned and run by Bangladeshis, and most are pretty good. If you're ever in Birmingham and perhaps Leicester, you can find places that serve more authentic Indian or Punjabi dishes. And in regard to spice levels, the more you eat, the more you can take, as chilli spice is known to be addictive and progressive. Great episode and hope you didn't suffer too many consequences!!

O my lord😅 😋 Peshawari nan omg 😋😋😋 with butter chicken tikka. I've never tried paneer I might give it a go.

It is a delight to see you guys exploring the wonderful world of Indian food.

The white dip is probably cucumber raita. Just a simple cooling yogurt dip

I think dopiaza is a persian influenced indian dish and the name means two onions, because there are two ways of cooking onions used in the curry, the caramelized cooking of onion giving it a sweetness.

Great video, most Indian food is regional its such a large country that you can spend years discovering all of the different regional dishes, not including all the UK invented dishes, such as Tikka Marsalla. We have been eating Indian food for well over 50 years, and are still finding new regional dishes that weve not had. If you visit India you will find the street food to be amazing. 😁

You've made my mouth water and change my dinner plans!

Indian takeaways/restaurants always seem great, whereas Chinese takeaway food seems a lot more "processed", but Indian food, always seem to be, well... Fresh and natural. Anyway, I love poppadoms and pickles, if it didnt come across as weird, but I'd happily scran poppadoms and pickles for starter, main and dessert! :D hehehe My typical setup is 2 poppadoms and any pickles (Though I say 2, I'm the poppadom hoover, if there's any left on the table, and the waiter tries to take them... Hell on,lol), erm, onion bhajis to start, for main a chicken pathia (Pronounced 'pat-hear'), onion pillau rice and finally, a good old garlic nan bread!!! \o/ Top nom noms hey! :)

Chicken korma is a really popular mild curry but I've found that the sauce can vary depending on where it's bought and sometimes it's too sweet. I usually go for meat samosas with the mint dip followed by chicken biryani with saag aloo. My Indian takeaway also gives me free poppadoms and a little bag of salad.

The mixed veg curry accompanies the chicken biriyani!

Great video guys, so much food!😅 My hubby got an Indian recipe book yrs ago for Christmas, he started buying all the spices needed to make each dish. Now after 20yrs our 1 kitchen cupboard that holds all his spices, smells devine when you open the cupboard door, my son stands and smells it when he comes home to visit😊 We love a good Indian xx

In the UK if you pass a good Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi restaurant, go... Probably among the best you'll get anywhere in the world. It's Indian cuisine, but a good number of the dishes you eat around the world and how it's presented does have strong routes in the British Raj effectively curating, refining, making twists to the food they found there. You'll know you are in a very Anglo-influenced place when the whole restaurant culture is sharp dressed waiters, treat you very formally, a style of table service with a team of people delivering your food, quite old fashioned and ornate decor. It's a vibe you'll recognise now if you walk into one, and it stems from the British Raj era. If you see a place like that, try it, because whilst Indians adopted that style at home and export it abroad, it's very much the melding of old British and Indian culture.

The white sauce is a yoghurt dip to clear your palette and to take away the burn.

I know Lamb isn't always as popular in the US as it is here in the UK... But one of my absolute favourite go-to Curries... Is a Lamb Dopiaza... Also i love a Hot Beef Madras... And also Chicken Tikka Masala as well... You certainly got yourselves a wide variety of Curry Dishes and accompaniments to try here guys... Everyone will have their own personal favourite Curry of course... But even buying the same Curry Dish from two different Curry Houses... Can differ on certain things... Like spicy heat or sauce thickness or even some slightly different ingredients being used in making them... It could also be the portion sizes... But we'll all usually have our own favourite Curry House that we'll use regularly... I'm glad to see that on the whole you really enjoyed your Curry Dishes and sides... All the very best... Cheers guys. 🍺

Hi folks, The dipping sauces you had, the whitish one, probably tastes of mint, and is very good to clear your palate if something is a bit too spicy/hot.

oh my gosh... I am full just watching this!! It all looked really good

spending so much time reading the comments and salivating! can't believe the amount of food you tried ....have to say the best indian food we've had was in kerala who knew the fish were so meaty..and the sauces wow ..also there are really good authentic indian spice based restaurants everywhere in the uk you find the ones in your neighbourhood that offer the non generic 'british' style (if that's your preference) and go for it if you're lucky. we are so lucky to have the choice from all of india

If you get a chance, you should go to Ladypool Road in the Sparkbrook area of Birmingham for a genuine Balti. I haven't been for years but my favourite was Saag Chana dhal ( spinach and split chick peas) with a naan. I haven't been to the 'our' Birmingham office for over 3 years, but samosas! Wonderful!

love the channel surprised all that food didnt go cold though have to say

I'm a retired video editor, and used to consult for a US company. During the 80s and 90s I used to attend a broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, and in the mid 90s I found a really good Indian restaurant in the area of the University of Nevada. It was very entertaining being servered by a young waitress in a sari who had a strong New Orleans accent! On the last day of the show, the company paid for a big dinner and let me choose, so I chose the Indian called the Shalimar. Several of the crew had never eaten Indian food. An interesting evening. There were a couple of other Brits and we knew what was what, but most of the others didn't. That last thing you tried, the chicken biriani, should have a vegetable curry with it. The chicken and rice are cooked together so the rice is flavoured by the chicken, then the curry is added as a sauce when you eat it.

My local place does the most amazing Aubergine Pakora, along with some amazing street style food. It's a cut above the rest as far as Indians go in small Scottish towns, none of the food is verging on fluorescent 😁 (Dheli's Winter in Linlithgow in case you're in the area 😁, try the Poori!)

Here's a tip - keep a couple of toilet rolls in the fridge over the next few days. After eating all that spicy Indian food, you'll need 'em! I love Indian food and the vegetarian options are my favourites, even though I'm not a vegetarian. The Indian immigrants who came to Britain after World War II have been such a boon to this country, especially in culinary terms. Nowadays the vast majority of Brits, not just those of Indian extraction, cook Indian-style food at home. We also cook a lot of Chinese-style food too. I say Indian-style and Chinese-style because I realise the British take on these foods is different from what people would actually eat in India and China. It doesn't matter - the food is still a wonderful alternative to the traditional British menu.

Great video guys

Ooh that looks good hope your enjoying your stay with us ❤

wow thats a lot of food, great commitment, go all in

It's kind of adorable watching how confused you guys are by the sauces and pickles. Generally speaking, you can have them with anything. The pickles go well with the poppadoms but they also go well in your actual curry, particularly a good mango chutney. The Raita (cucumber yoghurt) you often have on your plate when you're eating hotter curries just to take the edge of - it's the perfect remedy to when you've had just a bit too much spice! The Raita also pairs brilliantly with the onion bhajis (you usually get a minty raita which is coloured yellow with turmeric that comes specifically with the bhajis for dipping). I usually end up with a bunch of curries and rice and chutneys and raita on my plate almost mixed together and scooped up with a poppadom in 1 big, tasty mouthful, lol

Great vid guys! We certainly love our Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food here! You’ll always get a tonne of recommendations but the best is just to explore and find what you like, and you certainly had a massive choice there! 😉 Cara - sad you didn’t get your saag paneer as that’s my fave (my local place spices it to madras for me) but also check out paneer masala, pav bhaji (mixed veg curry), bhindi bhaji (okra curry) for veggie options. Think you also may like paratha (fried flat breads). If you ever wanna check out further in the UK on your travels: Rice n Three places in the North (£6+ for three curries and rice, salad and chapati (flat bread), usually Punjabi and Gujurati homemade staples, very veg friendly): The new wave of South Asian food - check out Dishoom; Southern Indian food - dhosa (crepes) and they almost always specialise in veggie and vegan food. Keep up the good work both! 😉👍

You have to do british style chinese food. I just moved back to scotland from Maine and i craved the Chinese food in the UK that bad it was literally the first thing I did.

Question most asked in the Wilson household over an Indian takeaway ref poppadoms - "are we having the big crisps " lol

Vindaloo and Cobra, perfect!

Chicken Pathia with onion rice and saag aloo is my favourite.

Loved this video ❤ hope you're doing well guys

Small pro tip because I noticed some of the dishes have oil from the ghee on the surface. If you take some kitchen towel and place it on top of the food and gently pat it down it'll soak up the excess oil, then you can throw the kitchen towel away and enjoy the food. Also if you find a dish too hot water won't help cool your mouth down because of the capsaicin from the chillies. The only thing that will help cool you down is milk or a similar drink, that's why a lot of curry houses do a yoghurt type drink called lassi. Mango lassi is really nice.

OMG! It looks like heaven on earth!!

Now I'm hungry,I can smell curry through the screen 🤤

You guys are very wholesome! :)

The Chicken Biryani comes with a veg curry sauce to put over it, which is why you experienced it as dry. One of the veg dishes was meant to go with it (the runniest one). Sometimes (and I've only had this in Bradford in the 80s!), it comes with an omelette on top!

I love your guys channel.

We bought a mixture of Indian food in a US take away ( as a Brit , I can’t go three weeks without a Indian food ) it was the worse food I’ve ever tasted in my entire life , it was horrendous. Glad you had a lovely experience….I’m off to India in six weeks time again and will be in heaven with the food ❤️

Nice video guys. Something to remember is that not all Indian restaurants or takeaways are the same, they can vary wildly. Most of the Jalfrezis I get are fairly dry but I have had some that are like yours.

Great Camera Work - through the Video. Regards from Western Scotland.

Subscribed. The shared sweatiness didn't put me off as it doesn't carry through the screen 😮😅. Very enjoyable. +1

I live in a small town in Suffolk called Sudbury and we have a shop called Raffis spice box where they make up a bag of spices that you add to whatever meat your having then slow cook absolutely gorgeous

Omg you 2 are crazy and amazing americans wow I can't believe you have ordered the whole shop. Lol and enjoyed watching you trying a lot of currys. Little Carlie nose was on overtime with the fantastic smells brilliant guy's. Great video. 👏 👏 👏

You are both so so funny trying the pickle tray!

Watching this is making me very hungry! 😋

There is (or used to be) an Indian restaurant in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne that serves a curry which is so spicy, if you manage to eat all of it you get it for free.

i love indian food have done since a small boy , i have loads indian friends and south london is a major hub , my favourite is lamb rogan josh , with a mango lassi

I'm a bit of a biriani addict, but my favourite is always a lamb dhansak!

Lamb rogan josh is my go to dish. Although my local Indian serves a dish called Chicken or lamb sally and I sometimes order that for a change.

Vindaloo plus cobra is simply the best combo. Also every dish can be ordered exactly the same again except with tikka marinated chicken or lamb, best ones are lamb tikka balti and chicken or lamb dansak. Also there is a lesser known dish called patia which is hot and sweet with a more reduced oily sauce and I believe is a Persian dish.

Well done guys. As trainee Brits,you must now put your toilet roll in your fridge ready for the morning. 😂😂

Interesting and funny Biriani comes with the veg curry you opened earlier the Naans are for scooping your curry,s

Marvelous food but picking the right outlets can be tricky, some can really let you down and others you'll never stop using. Takes a while to get it right.

That was a lot of food though! As my grandma used to say "bless ya belly"

Lamb bhuna is my favorite...great review of Indian food.

Mmmm salivating 😋 vegetable pakora is a must 👌

I enjoyed this video! Thank you both for sharing. I love Indian food, usually go for an onion bhaji/ meat samosa, Lamb Pasanda (almond and cream sauce) and a Peshwari Naan 🙂

Blimey did you all those takeaways in one evening 😂😂 that’s good going 👏👏

You have to put a selection on the plate mix and match enjoy all the flavers

Tadka/tarkha dhal is gorgeous, can't believe it wasn't recommended, creamy lentils tampered with garlic, absolute fave

Korma!! Lovely coconut flavour

you guys should try a Phall curry, it was invented in Birmingham.
