How to order food in English at a restaurant?

Good evening! Would you like to start with some naan bread or papadum while you look at the menu?

晚上好！看菜单的时候要先来点烤饼或印度薄脆饼吗？

Great! And for your main course? Our chicken tikka masala is the house favorite.

好的！主菜呢？我们的鸡肉 tikka masala 是招牌菜。

It's creamy and fairly mild. You can choose mild, medium, or hot. I'd suggest medium — it has good flavor without too much heat.

它是奶油口味，比较温和。可以选微辣、中辣或辣。我建议中辣——味道好又不会太辣。

Tikka masala is creamy and tomato-based — it's our mildest curry. Vindaloo is a lot spicier, with a tangy, vinegar kick. It's for serious spice lovers.

提卡马萨拉是奶油番茄底——是我们最温和的咖喱。温达卢辣很多，有酸酸的醋味。适合真正能吃辣的人。

Of course. Would you like that with basmati rice or do you prefer naan to go with it?

当然可以。配印度香米还是烤饼？

Absolutely! And just so you know, our biryani is also wonderful if you ever want rice and protein together in one dish.

当然！顺便说一下，如果你想要一道饭和肉在一起的菜，我们的 biryani 也很棒。

💡 Biryani 是印度焖饭，米饭和肉层层叠放焖制，香料味浓郁，是完整的一道主菜。
