London, and most if not all of Britain has many, very many Indian restuarants run and operated by real Subcontinentals. In fact, it has been reported that fish and chips has been replaced by curry as the nation's favourite take-away (take out). One assumes it's lamb (meat) curry.

J enjoys lots of the hotter dishes like Madras but not the hottest Vindaloos, and usually his meat of choice is chicken. Me, I don't see the reason for burning my face off just to enjoy a meal so I go for the milder dishes, the wuss curries like kormas or tandoori chicken. Normally I choose a chicken korma but sometimes I'll have meat or king prawn (large shrimp). That and a plain Nan bread with mango chutney and I'm happy.

Mmmmm...

I went to a very new Indian restaurant in Los Angeles - I was surprised that there were Indians in America - in the early eighties but it was nothing like anything I'd tried in London.
