For a first timer - go with the Samosas, Butter chicken, Saag paneer and Jasmin rice. Very basic in terms of flavors... but very flavorful nonetheless. We have and I think I send you the same link but I have the memory and attention span of a rat but this time I’m actually going there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saag paneer and butter chicken with naan and jasmine rice are the best "starting" dishes, IMO. Once you determine if you like that, we can expand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it's really mild on the spices and palatable for most anyone. We have one good Indian place in town and go there just for that... cause unlimited naan bread and like 6 dipping sauces (I only know what like 2 of them are) while you wait is 5/7 nearly perfect.

Probably the next up after butter chicken - really, if you're into savory flavors, I'd actually go for the chicken tikka masala.

Look into goat biryani - in essence, it's Indian fried rice with marinated goat, fried onions (on some methods of cooking it). Very savory, very flavorful - you can add in some of those dipping sauces (raitha) and get a great rice dish that obliterates any hunger you may have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yeah, if you’re a beginner, biryani of any kind is a good place to start. I order biryani sometimes myself. Stuff is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansNvolsR#1 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I don't miss much about Kuwait, but the food is some of the best in the world. You guys are making me think of getting on a plane just for the Indian restaurant down the street in the slum I lived in. Maybe a few of the Lebanese places too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you making it like a cordon blue where you pound your meat thin and then wrap it all up OR is it more of a butterfly cut and then stuff it from there ?

I did a butterfly and positioned the bacon strategically with some toothpicks to keep anything from leaking out... pound and wrap would work well too, whichever you wanted to try really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
