What kind of dishes do they serve?
They do a BBQ brisket or chicken tikka masala over a spicy rice, a brisket naan roll (like a brisket hot pocket made from housemade naan), and some other stuff that I don't recall exactly.  Great flavor combinations.

A place we like called Tabla serves this for lunch, we get sag instead of whatever that whitish thing is.  It's called thali saag lamb/shrimp/chicken.  I like getting a bunch of small dishes with different flavors.



They also offer Louis XIII for $195 an ounce.

Yup, I love it. My 16yo daughter likes to cook and has learned to make a really good butter chicken. We have her cook for us at least once per week when her schedule allows.

On the plus side you do get a college game Sunday and Monday
Yep. And the PGA Tour Championship on Sunday.

I was thinking them daft for not finishing up the FedEx Cup Playoffs before the opening weekend of the NFL, but it turns out it was me that was daft not knowing when the season starts lol.

I'm not a food snob by any stretch, and I've never been to a "nice" Indian food place here, but all Indian food I've had in the US has been awful compared to what I had in England.

That's what people miss about British food.  British food isn't great, but they have amazing Indian food

We had Indian for lunch, I ordered the branzina, it was superb, I though, $24.  I have had excellent Indian in England as well, but I think the two places near us are just as good.  I my wife the lamb thali saag, which she always orders, but she really liked  the fish I gave her as well.



I suspect a lot of "us" think of Indian as "cheap buffet lunch", because that was my first exposure to it as well.  And some folks think it's all curry all the time, not perhaps understanding India, like the US, has very different food regions.

Yup I've had excellent Indian in the US.

For sure it's a specialty in the UK, though, and much better than... well, pretty much anything else you can get there.

We stayed with friends of my wife's north of London about an hour and that lady could really cook.  I think "British food" at home can be superb, this was anyway.

Other than that, I've never had "British food" that was memorable or great.  We had lunch a couple times in Scotland and then Ireland and it was ... not memorable.  We stayed in Southhampton two nights before a cruise and had really good ... Indian food.  We had lunch at a pub that was decent.

Yeah, I think it gets a bad rep that it's "bad".  I don't dislike it, a lot of it is good comfort food.  It's just not memorable.

Oddly I've never had "cheap" Indian buffet.  I've eaten at decent US Indian restaurants, and I've always left thinking I could have gone elsewhere

Yeah, which is why I don't think I've gone to an Indian restaurant probably since 2012?  I distinctly remember my wife craving it when she was pregnant with our first
