Ah, coincidence ... we had this tonight. Head of Campus thinks the place where we order from is the best Indian food he has tasted outside of India - irony being it is a small restaurant in Nanjing.
Vegetarian dishes are usually great. I love the Paneer Saag (fresh cottage cheese with freshly pureed spinach and delicate spices that
Koodari mentioned) and Paneer Makhani (cottage cheese in creamy tomato gravy with herbs and butter).
Murgh Butter (or "butter chicken") is also a favourite for many because it is not too spicy.
Definitely try something from the clay oven - tandoori style.
Also, a Cucumber Raita (seasoned yogurt with cucumbers) is a great side dish to dip your naan or papadams in - and also to quell the fire in your mouth should anything you eat be too much to handle (although, nothing I have presented will test you in this way).
Also, a mango lassi is a must. They are delicious.
One more thing - at this place, before we leave we each get a small individual packet of mixed herbs, musk and mint as a breath freshener. Anyone ever had them? They're awesome.
