I have never been to an Indian restaurant that wasn't staffed by persons from the subcontinent (although I don't know for sure who is in the kitchen!). You are correct, there can be large differences in the food based on what region it comes from and also to some extent what religion they practice. Some places, even when run by Indians, do "Americanize" their recipes some, I have been told by my Indian friends and co-workers. I think that means they are not as spicy and/or the presentation is different. Before one of my Indian friends moved away to the DC area, I would sometimes go with him and some of his cousins to a place that they said was authentic to their area (Hyderabad). The food was always excellent. --- Talisman v0.53-dev (Linux/armv7l) * Origin: possumso.fsxnet.nz * telnet:24/ssh:2122/ftelnet:80 (21:4/134) .
