Possibly! But it was some kinda mom-and-pop restaurant run by two middleaged, ethnically British-looking people in the countryside, so it's not exactly what you'd expect. Which kinda drives home how far Indian cuisine has penetrated British culture.
Well, Indian cuisine is like the best food in the world so I get it
I like the concept of it, spices are good and I like a bit of heat. But I definitely prefer Indian-European fusion if these hyper scoville values are the norm for Indian cuisine. IDK if you just have to grow up with it, but from my perspective it's whack - takes all the taste out of food and replaces it with a burning sensation.
I don't prefer it super spicy BUT there's flavor behind the heat with "real" spices (as opposed to distilled hot sauce)
I stopped eating spicy food for years and my tolerance tanked but I've been building it back up again and loving it.
