roomba920 Posted September 14, 2021 #501 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I would say it's for British passengers, who love Indian food. I used to not like it myself, but then gave it a chance. It's really delicious and so flavorful. Open yourself up to new things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just go into hibernation. During my most recent cruise experiences, there does seem to be an increase in the number of chefs and cooks from India. I have enjoyed the cuisine on all of these cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a tour of India, our first night's dinner was an Indian cuisine buffet at the Le Meridien Hotel in New Delhi. Many choices and most all were "new" to the members of my tour group and me. Lots of Naan was consumed that evening; don't recall what I ate other than that, but it was not "bad", it was "different". Our group had other dinners where there was a mix of Western and Indian cuisine. The Indian dishes that I tried were OK. The Indian dishes that I have tried on Carnival's ships have been good. But, Indian cuisine is not my first choice of cuisines that I have tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted September 17, 2021 #506 Share Posted September 17, 2021 How can one not enjoy Tandoori Chicken? I am somewhat of a "bread" lover. Croissants are always my favorite when I have a chance to order some. But, Naan? Delicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tandoori chicken I have tasted on the major lines is a pallid oven baked version that bears no resemblance to real tandoori. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember which Carnival ship where I ordered Tandoori Chicken from the Indian section of the restaurant, but, it was good. Was it like what I tasted in India? Not being a connoisseur of Indian cuisine, I thought it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted October 29, 2021 #510 Share Posted October 29, 2021 We have met quite a few Indian crew members over the years, and had some interesting conversations. Our experiences with Indian food on ships has been very good, too. On Grandeur of the Seas a few years ago, the vegetarian entree the first night must have been a curry, because after dinner an Indian chef came to our table and asked me if I enjoyed it. I told him I did. After that, he sent out an Indian dish for me each night, along with what I ordered. On MSC Seaside, we had an Indian waiter. He asked if we'd like a curry one night. We would. On the evening of our choice, the AHW brought us a tray with two curries and a number of accompaniments. We learned that they were from the crew dining room. They were excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mary229 Posted September 19, 2022 #512 Share Posted September 19, 2022 On my recent west coast departure many, many of the guests were of Indian ancestry. As a matter of fact many, many guests, perhaps even a majority were of Asian ancestry. This is the United States, the land of immigrants. As possibly the lone Cajun-transplanted to Texas, onboard I appreciated the spicy offerings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reasons that I fail to understand, some of our fellow citizens seem not to remember (know) this. Yet, we enjoy the service, the friendliness, the kindness of other nationalities when we sail on the ships on which they serve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swath Posted October 10, 2022 #514 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I wonder how good the Indian food on Anthem will be according to the Royal App It will be available every night in the MDR on the 29 October 22 Sailing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed on Enchantment several times this year. Indian dishes were evident in the buffet every lunchtime and most breakfasts, and as the theme one evening. I don't recall seeing many on the main MDR menu in the evening, although we were treated to some by our lovely Indian waiter, who knew we wanted to try them. All were good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted November 8, 2022 #525 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Think like a thrifty chef: You have left over chicken and veg that were cooked /not served the night before. You can chop it up, cover it in a spicy sauce, and you have an Indian dish. The spice hides the fact that it's leftovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
