Finding the best Tikka Masala in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Tikka Masala I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled fenugreek leaves with genuine knowledge and the warmly spiced and aromatic result was noticeably superior.

Indian cuisine varies enormously by state, religion, and climate. The winning restaurant had the right a north Indian restaurant abroad feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. lassi was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Tikka Masala is made properly it's a completely different experience.
