Good Indian food doesn't exist in the US.

Take a trip to BC, or the UK, and you'll see what I mean.

This is incredibly diminutive of Indian cuisine in America.

The Bay Area itself has Zareen's (Michelin guide) and Rasa (Michelin star).

Yes, the UK has much more phenomenal Indian food, but to say the US has none is wrong.

Ah yes, Indian cuisine like "Bombay Sliders."

I'm sorry Michelin star means squat for Indian food. I have tried both and they are pretty crappy.

Dude I've lived in Singapore. You don't have to tell me about food.

Hopefully you made it to Penang then.

While I am in agreement that BC has plenty of authentic south asian cuisine, Seattle is not so terrible.

Food recommendation: Gulberg Restaurant, 5943 Fraser St, Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z6

Authentic Lahori food.

The cuisine is way older than the 1947 partition...

"...not so terrible" isn't a ringing endorsement.

What is good in Seattle?

Everything good is actually within a 5-7km radius of Microsoft HQ in Redmond, on the east side. There's a really good chaat place. And a grocery store where the clientele are 99% Indian, a half block from the chaat place.

If you are far south of downtown in the Renton/Kent area, this Pakistani kebab place is great:

Mayuri (the grocery store) does have a great selection of staples items.

In that same parking lot is Teapot Vegetarian House (not Indian) and Malay Satay Hut (though the quality was lacking last time we went).

Naan and Curry has the best non-vegetarian South-Asian food in the Seattle area. It has branches in Renton and Issaquah. I have personally found it much better than Maza grill, mentioned in the other comment.

I’ve eaten there in the Bay Area and am inclined to agree with you.
