I would recommend North Bengali cuisine, or food from Dhaka, Bangladesh!. Trust me, Bengali cuisine is part of Indian cuisine, but it is a different branch, using different spices and cooking methods and s aromatic and delicious!. But to tell you the truth, basically all indian/bengali cuisine has onion in it, but you won't see it because it has disintegrated in the beginning of the cooking process, it is the basis for almost all dishes!.
Try fish curry, various vegetable fish curry, malai curry, which is prawns in a cream sauce!. There's also a fish ball curry, but I don't know if restaurants have it!. The best food is homemade!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What to order at Indian Restaurant!?
Americans may be at loss at an Indian Restaurant!. The food is different than American foods and Americanized ethnic foods (Italian, Mexican, Chinese)
Lassi
This should be the first item to order!. Get it before any of your food arrives!. Lassi is a sweetened whipped thick yogurt beverage!. This will be your oral fire-extinguisher!. If you eat something too spicy hot for your palate, take a sip of Lassi, swirl it around your mouth and swallow!. Repeat two more times and the fire will be extinguished
Breads
Limit yourself to Naan!. Naan is flat bread baked in Tandoor!. Avoid Paratha (layered flat bread griddle-fried), and Poori (Deep fried wholly puffed up)
Rice
Order Saffron Basmati Rice with Green peas, or plain rice!. The Biryani is a 'layered Rice and meat' dish but may have 'weird floral smell'!.
Entrées
Order foods that have have following keywords in the name of the dish: Tandoori, Tikka, Korma, Makhani (Buttery)!. These foods are mild with aromatic spices for aroma!.
- Tandoori foods are baked in Tandoor (clay oven)!. Examples include: Tandoori Chicken, Tandoori Prawn, Tandoori leg of lamb roast
Tandoori chicken was served to Richard Nixon and John F Kennedy at State Dinner in New Delhi
- Tikka foods are similar to Tandoori foods!. These are oven baked, and served with Masala (Dip) on the side!. Examples are: Chicken Tikka Masala, Paneer (Indian Cheese) Tikka Masala, Mushroom Tikka Masala!. Tikka Masala originated at Indian Restaurant in UK!.
- Korma foods are prepared in a mild pale yellow color nutty creamy sauce consisting of : yogurt ground almonds cream and saffron!. Examples are: Chicken Korma, Lamb Korma, Mutton Korma, Vegetable Korma, and Navrattan (Nine Vegetable) Korma!.

- Makhani (Buttery) foods are prepared in a mild orange color creamy sauce consisting of: tomatoes, yogurt, butter and cream!. Examples are: Chicken Makhani, Lamb Makhani, Mutton Makhani, Dal Makhani (Thick Pulse soup), Makhani Paalak Paneer (Spinach and Indian cheese)
Makhani chicken was served to Richard M Nixon and John F Kennedy at State Dinner in New Delhi
Desserts
Indian desserts are sugary!. To Americans, they have weird floral smell, it is like eating flowers!. The floral smell is a result of: Roses, Screwpine, Vetiver, and Sandalwood!.
First time visitor has three choices: Gajar Halwa (a rich carrot cake), Kheer (Rice pudding), and Badam Pista Burfee ( A milk fudge with almonds and pistachios)
Mango Ice cream, a favorite of William J Clinton available at most of the Indian Restaurants!.
Beverages
- Garam Masala Chai (Hot spiced tea latte) is flavored with cinnamon cardamom and cloves!. It may be sweetened with honey
- Mango Lassi (Sweetened whipped yogurt and mango pulp)
Miscellaneous Food Items worth trying
- Raita, Cold thick soup made with whipped yogurt and cucumber served as a side dish
- Dal, Hot thick soup made with decorticated split Moong beans
- Roasted Paaperdum, a thin round flat snack made of beans and roasted over open fire!. Do not order deep-fried Paaperdum
- Aloo Gobhi, a mild vegetable curry made of potatoes and cauliflower
Dishes you must try with caution
- Samosa, A deep fried pastry stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas!. This is the most popular snack all over India!. It is served with Green Chutney (Made of fresh Cilantro and Peppermint), and Brown Chutney ( Sweet and sour spice chutney made with Tamarind)!. This can be spicy hot
- Rogan Josh, Most popular Mutton curry!. Problem is too much fat floating on top of dish, it can be spooned off
Dare Dishes
- Phall Curry, This is the hottest curry associated with Indian foods, though it originated in Indian Restaurants in UK!. It is made with Habanera or Naga Chili peppers, and fresh ginger!. You can have Chicken Phall or Lamb Phall
- Tindaloo, Second hottest curry associated with Indian foods, though it originated in Indian Restaurant in UK!. This made with Habanera, and lots of Garlic!. It is just a hotter Vindaloo!. You can have Chicken, lamb, or Vegetable Tindaloo
- Vindaloo, This is a hot Indian curry originated in Goa based on a Portuguese preserve!. The ingredients include lots of hot cayenne peppers, garlic , south west pickling spices and vinegar!.
- Chicken 65, This is hot finger food similar to 'Buffalo wings' goes well an appetizer at bar!.
