Indian restaurants in US are better because,
1. They are run by first generation Indians, so no dilution yet from the traditional recipes.
2. The food is cooked by Indian chefs as opposed to UK, where many of the restaurants are Bangladeshi and masquerade as Indian restaurants.
3. It has become something of a must in Indian restaurants in US to bring a fresh piping hot '
naan' to your table; something not done in the UK.
