The number of places in Buenos Aires with an Indian menu can be counted with the fingers of your hands (and the somewhat decent ones are only two), so that pretty much sums things up....
Argentina is not a good destination for Ethnic Cuisine....
To hopefully make this interchange a bit more informative, perhaps you can comment as to why there is little ethnic food in Argentina. I have noticed that as well. When I am in Argentina I really enjoy the food, however after 10 days or so, I start to get a little board from Meats, Pasta, Pizza, Empanadas etc.. ( Basically Argentine and Italian ). Sarkis seems to be the best alternative from what I know regarding Middle Eastern food ( I enjoy that allot ) besides the Comida China spots I know in Chinatown ( Thanks Dan Pearlman ).. There are not that many choices that I came across of. Now I did hear of an Ethnic Puerto Cerado ( Jewish Grandma type , but have lost track of the spot ) Anyway. Perhaps we can share some personal spots that may help us all out. Thanks and Safe Travels..
