[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  It's fascinating to read everyone's responses--thanks!

I just want to clarify that my intent was not to disparage Indian cuisine.  I'm merely trying to figure out if I was missing something, [b]because Indian cuisine is so popular[/b], and I pride myself on being open to new things (and this is no niche or fad--I want to like it).

After reading these replies, It's obvious that Indian cuisine is nuanced and regional (duh--its a large country!).  I believe I've tried a few lunch hour, takeout-type places--places that probably muddle everything together and, as a result, the subtle nuances are lost in generic, overly-sauced/spiced dishes.

TBH, I'm not in the DC area (I'm in CT, 45 mins from NYC).  I think I'll have to pick a quality place in the city to try![/quote]

Meh, take solace in the fact that the "trend" is dying, and the Indian coworkers are bitter about it. They pride themselves too much on their food, and are extremely offended that I can reproduce their dishes with ease (they pride themselves in Indian food being "difficult").

It's fine, and everyone should be able to find something, but totally overrated.[/quote]
