I might add my review of the Indian restaurants I've visited, for anyone interested.
My favorite is Mumbai. I'm a huge fan of samosas, and theirs are stupendous. The curries are wonderfully high quality, and spiced to pleased. Try the garlic nan in addition to basmati rice. And don't forget the sweet yogurt lassi, though the salty one is also very good.
La Reina Kunti, not sure if I hit them on a bad day because many of my Indian friends Love, love, love this restaurant. I found the food bland. But the atmosphere is wonderfully cozy and the wandering cat is adorable.
Katmandu, I really enjoy this place. I've been fortunate enough to catch live Indian music here, and it really added to the experience. The food is always good. The owners are welcoming, the staff not so much. The price is about the same as Mumbai, though the quality is slightly lower.
Tandoor is partly owned my an old friend of myself and my husband's from Boston, so we really wanted to love it. First, no samosas. The curries seemed diluted. The service is great. Atmosphere and location are breathtaking. Garlic nan was good. Lassi also good.
I'm not educated in Indian cuisine, so don't know the difference in what comes from which region. Perhaps my taste are not honed to the particular region in which Tandoor specializes.
When all is said and eaten, I must say I adore Mumbai.
But am very open to trying and supporting other Indian cuisine restaurants in BA.
And, AMAT, thanks for the suggestion of Bangalore. Will try it out next week!
