being of pakistani origin.. i grew up eating indian/pakistani food... punjabi food in my opinion is the best. India and pakistan have punjab split in two... Try biryani. Go with a lamb biryani. Its really hard to make... but it tastes so damn good... however a bad restaurant can spoil it quite easily. No indian/pakistani restaurant can mess up a curry though... but try a karahi.. chicken karahi or karahi gosht (gosht means meat, but in this case it stands for lamb mostly). Very easy to make and tastes amazing.

Edit: Avoid those ready to make indian spices stuff. It tastes awful. The best thing about indian food is that you can distinguish between the spices. Such pastes lose their individual flavors over time.
