Hi Clive,

And welcome to the forum. You'll find everything you need here to produce fantastic tasting BIR dishes, just hope you can get all the ingredients you need. If not then I am sure you will be able to buy them online or have family back home who can send them to you.

Once you are settled here and start producing mouth watering dishes, you will probably be able to go and show the french how to do it properly

Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy...

When I lived in Montpeillier for awhile ended up craving a good curry went to one in the city centre called Restaurant Bombay overpriced muck to be honest

I goto Paris several times a year, and I avoid French Indian Restaurants like the plague.
Just as the Indian foods were adapted for BIR, the French adapted their Indian food to be bland and dissappointing. Particularly avoid Saravana Bhavan on Rue du Faubourg St Denis. My wife and I had a very very bad experience in there last year.

Not surprising really, it's such a tourist trap in that area, def to be avoided. If anybody does come to Paris and can't suppress the craving for a curry, the best place to find a decent curry house is in the 10th district around the Gare du Nord area. That's the main Indian population area in Paris and whilst it won't be BIR it's the closest you'll find. There are also several indian mini markets where you can get all your main ingredients, spices etc...you never know.
