The Indian Alley in Chinatown has amazingly cheap Indian food. Only been there once, I could hardly believe how cheap the bill was for how much food we ate. Curies were around 40 baht I think, Nan for 20 baht, etc. I have no idea what the same of the place we ate at was. Only that it in a back alley off the main road and there were at least three or four Indian food places right next door.
My favorite pizza is Chicago Style. For those who do not know, it has a very heavy, but proper pastry crust.
The thick crust style (or pan crust as it is sometime known) is not the most popular style of pizza in Chicago, it is the thin, crispy crust which most Chicagoan's crave.

You don't see too many of these restaurants in the Chicago area.
I like Thai Curry in Thailand better than Indian, But I agree with Phil about England (at least London) also Hong Kong (in Kowloon) used to be very good as well.

Re: Curries. Thai vs Indian
There's a pretty good Indian restaurant on Khaosan...it's called Rainbow House. Never been disapppointed and many of my Indian friends turned me on to it.

The same goes for Italy, keesh.
There a pizza IS thin crust.

Saw this great new Gordon Ramsay show last night caled Ramsay's Cook-along Live. One segement showed him plunged into a tandoori restaurant and straight onto the tandoor where he had to prepare naan bread and kebabs for a busy night after 3 hours training. He was a bit rubbish at first and it was nice to see him looking vulnerable in the kitchen, though predictably he picked up his pace and was a bloody expert by the end of the night...

I like ajarn.com. It is a fun place. I was going to get out my list of great grievances, grandiose gripes, grand groans, grave grumbles and my granduer of grating grim grisly grime, but I won't, because I can't stop growing with the gruesome gritty grubby and grotesque grin.

I miss telly like that
I don't really think it that's difficult cooking in a tandoor. Setting it up and maintaining it, they are coated in the inside with a tamaring-water mix periodically, are the difficult parts. Preparing the food also, of course.
A restaurant that I used to frequent on Lamma island HK, had a tandoor made inside an old oil-barrel. His tandoor mixed-grill was to die for.

Good show...seen the first two! I do like Ramsay, although he often doesn't explain how to cook it fully enough for me.
