Did you just move here from TX? WTF?
I love it too. Especially if you want to eat vegetarian. They can really make vegetables taste good. Of course their cuisine is far from healthy, especially the tasty stuff. That said, I get tired of it quickly. I could not eat it every day. Dishes resemble each other and the spices (not necessarily the peppers) are over the top after a while.
I live in the South SF bay. It is a province of India. So I can enjoy a lot of authentic and inexpensive joints in walking distance from my home. Just like any other cuisine, there is an Americanized version and authentic stuff.
