Lots of great curry houses in Watford and Harrow. Lamb Rogan Josh or Chicken Madras my favourite Indian dishes.

@JC You have Rasoi and Indigo which for Kiwi Indian's are not too shabby.
One very on trend but has fucking awful wait times and the other has hundreds of whisky's to complement more traditional fare. Asking for more would be greedy.
The last Indian I went to up here was basically bland pap. I couldn't eat it. I complained, they went and spoke to the kitchen and came back and said oh sorry the chef forgot to add the spice to the sauce - on topic with @crucial comments above. They offered a free naan to compensate.
Yep, we’re regulars at Rasoi. But I really miss the mystery meat in loosely defined gravy served in places with tasteless ambience and doubtful hygiene that you get in the UK. Curry houses shouldn’t be special, they should be accidentally amazing.
I never get why people equate heat and spices with a violent outburst of the shits. If anything it is the doubtful hygiene that you refer to. The curry house system lends itself to shortcuts and cross contamination very easily.
I'm going to throw it out there that it's probably because it's what a lot of people have experienced? Not sure what there is to get.
If you jump off a cliff you get to experience the feeling of falling.
If you eat a vindaloo with 3 beers, the next day your arsehole will feel ike it's on fire, whilst your stomach / bowels will be doing hoops dealing with the spice.
It was my personal experience. Hence “I dont get”
Spicy food doesn’t turn my bowels to water.
Food poisoning does. -

People over the age of 14 shouldn’t eat Butter Chicken
Vinfaloo is the best, Jalfrezi and Madras are solid. Naan rules.
We used to get something called The Wrath of Khan from our local near Stockell tube. Much hotter than a Vindy, very very painful the next day. One time I bought extra to take into work for a colleague the next day, those things get hotter overnight eh?
We ate them together at lunch. A pair of idiot whiteys sweating and hiccuping through a curry at midday, and paying the price in the hours and days that followed - not a pretty sight.

Some of you guys are taking me back to the continuous right of passage that is drinking a lot of beer, followed by competitive curry eating. Seeing and being that half pissed bloke in the curry house trying to out-phall your mates and none of you enjoying the experience.
Golden days.
On the spice v hygiene debate, I would say two things. Firstly excessive heat will fuck you up to a degree and we all have different tolerances. Secondly, excessive spice/heat is able to cover a multitude of rancidness.
If you’re going down the highly spiced route, do it in a reputable establishment. A bit like anal at the brothel, choose wisely.

That is the worst simile I’ve ever read.
