Indian Food

the TA in Napoleon Ohio advertises as having Indian cuisine, but I've never figured out where they hide it. Sure never smells like Indian food in there, an yhow

 

as if there is such a thing as Masala (Marsala)

 

Chicken marsala

Chicken masala

Very very different things.

 

me thinks marsala might not be indian
my favorite thai resturant is on a backstreet in portsmouth nh not fit for a vehicle bigger then a focus i took a cab there last time

 

Lamb Tikka Masala. It's what I had for lunch yesterday.

 

MaRsala is not. MaSala is.

 

I had some excellent chicken curry at a truck stop on I-40 near Jackson, Tennessee. There is a billboard for it on the highway. Be warned that even though they are a truck stop and have a small parking lot, they do not have showers and the place is kind of a dump. But the food was good. Would take that over Denny's anytime!

Have also seen billboards on 70 in Indiana/Ohio for Indian food.

 

I wish I had seen your reply before I made mine! But this is the stop I was talking about. And if you want Thai food, stop at the Pilot on I-85 in Braselton, Georgia sometime, exit 129. There is a strip mall within walking distance. Can't vouch for the food, but saw the sign.

 

Any time I'm going through Napoleon OH I stop at the TA for Indian food. I've enjoyed everything I've had there so far. Last time, though, they were out of chicken so I tried lamb instead. It's a special side menu of the restaurant. If they don't give you the menu along with the TA menu, you can just ask your server for the Indian menu. It's also part of the AYCE so you can try the chicken curry mild one time and if you're still hungry re-order the chicken curry and get it medium instead. I like to order it with rice and get a side of naan (bread). Since it's part of the AYCE, it also includes the soup and salad bar. One thing I appreciate about Indian food is that it can get spicy but shortly after eating the spiciness fades away. It doesn't linger in your mouth like it would after eating a plate of hot buffalo wings. The restaurant manager is a really nice lady and is trained in Indian cuisine so she's the one who does the cooking, unless she's off than another lady who she trained does it. Both do it well.

They also just did a remodel of the travel store so it's not as crowded as it used to be.

 

So I stopped at Dhillon's/ Taste of India. Walked in, every last employee was extremely cordial. The bathroom, uh, yeah. I'd rather dump outside and take the chance a snake may bite me. The food- oh my. Authentic Punjab. Good stuff and reasonably priced. The samosas are recommended. Don't go in expecting something nice or fancy. You will be treated very warmly and eat well. It's almost like going to India, with the Bollywood on the TV and everything. But the food.......my god. It's worth it for the food.
