- In today's Qatar vlog we try Indian food! While we grew up with Indian food restaurants around us, it is not something we have tried until coming to Doha, Qatar!

If you are not leave qatar, must try from MRA my favorite “fish tawa gravy” with paratha or ghee rice, it is very delicious
In the UK we are brought up on Indian food.
You can’t go wrong with.
Starter king prawn puri,
Main chicken tikka jalfrezi or korma for no spice
Keema rice, keema naan, mushroom bhaji.
I was surprised the waiter didn't suggest rice, or the items didn't come with rice from what I could see? Naan is better than paratha, just saying lol. But steered you on the right path with butter chicken. It's fantastic. Lots of dishes are good too, but that's the one. I was also interested he didn't suggest kheer and/or gulag jamun rather than 2 quite similar sweets. Plus no mango Lassi. Oh well, next time
I never tried Indian food until I was out of college and it was astounding how much I missed on the menu if you didn't bring an Indian friend to introduce you to the items that were not a-la-carte.
I almost love Indian food more than Mexican because the variety and endless combinations of spices (not hot) are mind boggling and to die for good!! My feet do a happy dance under the table when I eat Indian food!! Many more dishes you could have tried and just requested non spicy. And for dessert, Gulab Jamin (one dessert) and Keer (another dessert) and absolutely wonderful together!!
Ohhh thank you for the recommendations! We LOVED it!! Can’t wait to try more and more and more!
@@kinetickennons Any ‘korma’ or ‘vindaloo’ are soooooo flavorful!! You can’t go wrong with either! And Saag Paneer is a spinach and Indian cheese is so dang yummy!!!! But get those two desserts if you can. The Gulab Jamin is also know as ‘rose balls’. It is two perfect rounds, about the size of donut holes, they are golden brown and usually served warm in a honey rose syrup. Keer is a cold rice pudding and taking a small bite of the Gulab Jamin and enjoy the warm sweet and then take a bite of the cold Keer and just go back and forth between the two. You’ll feel like you died and went to heaven!! Hahaha! Seriously!
I just wrote the same about desserts. Also meant to say about samosas, they always seem to spicy for me too. Not sure why, but I'm assuming properly made, they are hot
For other things just request mild. Usually options are mild, medium and spicey. Do mild until you know what you want. In usa if the places you might go to cater to Americans, chances are mild is bland. I'm used to Indian food in Indian neighborhoods, big fancy places as well as family style, chances are mild is still too hot
Gulag jamun is warm, like pancakes soaked in syrup
Im 🇺🇸 American but I ❤️ indian 🇮🇳 ❤️ culture and Food 🕉 jai shri Ram 🕉 ❣️🚩🚩🕉
Indian food is amazing and you should really go to India and try it. So much variety depending on region and India is HUGE. Those aren’t paratas by the way, those are plain rotis which you actually said yourselves when you ordered in the beginning of the video. Paratas are more “bready”. Thanks for sharing 😊
Don't look like rotis. They must be "lachcha parathas" .
@@WoSarvatraHain they are roti canai / roti prata. It’s more common in south East Asian countries. Remember they aren’t having Indian food in India. Just Google it. If you listened she ordered 4 plain roti in the beginning of the video.
@@TimezoneJunkies Thanks for the nice words , that roti dish is called as Parotta in India and its quite popular in South India😊
IM MEXICAN AND INDIAN FOOD IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES¡¡
I am an INDIAN and I Love MEXICAN Food too
Specially Those Tacos 😋
@@VR.christianoo lol i was about comment same thing u stole my moment 🥺🥲
@@eyesweetu2570 😄😄
Well i think that real tacos could only found in mexico
In our countries
It's modified ...
@@VR.christianoo yes! But still love them 😍
The samosas often include sauces made with things like mint or tamarind to put on them that makes them much more flavorful, similarly to putting salsa on tacos.
They also were missing rice. How do you eat Indian food without the rice? Definitely should’ve had rice.
@@CrossroadsWellness13 a lot of indian restaurants sell the rice a la carte and probably didn't mention that their food should come with rice.
Oops-seems like we should have ordered rice. Rookie mistake 😀 next time we know!
Yeah you need the mint yogurt dipping sauce for samosas.
Indian has many regional cuisines and some Indian food is better with rice, and some is better with breads. You can't say you always need rice with Indian food but thali set meals usually include some rice and roti breads.
@@khalidcarrillo1132 I’ve been eating Indian food for over 4 decades and it has always come with rice. Maybe New York is weird lol.
The soggy cookie is made of fresh cheese. Lemon juice put into hot boiling milk and the solids are separated which is made into balls for this recipe or made to settle down under heavy weights for some hours for paneer making for paneer recipes.
Rabdi and Rasmalai (along with other desserts in India like malpua, Kalajaam, Ghewar, Paatishapta, shondesh, and several others) are best when they're made by traditional cooks or chefs in India. There are some places which I haven't visited yet myself where they make these with dedication and slightly different recipes and they taste massively different.
Oh wow!! Thanks for all the insights and information!!
@@kinetickennons Thanks for reading! Be well!
I am Mexican and I love flour tortilla, but I agree with you: Naan (the Indian bread) is better than my grandmother’s flour tortillas. It is So deelish!
Hi. I found your channel after searching for world cup fan village and reactions and it's so much fun watching you guys in games.
As an Indian, loved your video. Pls do try gulab jamun on your next visit. And rasmalai is one of my favorites! And pro tip, take bigger chunks of bite to get more of the flavor. I eat a whole ball of rasmalai in one go haha. There is another laddu which is yellow in color. That's the more popular one and to me it tastes better than orange one haha.
And also after living in US for sometime, I found that mexican food is so similar to indian food. Mexican food is kinda getting pretty famous in India too because of the cuisine similarities
I’m excited to see you guys go to India. India is at the top of my bucket list. People who see the entire world often list Mexico and India at the top of the list. Since my first visit to Mexico I can’t convince myself to visit anywhere else so who knows when I’ll go
Awe guys...loved the vid...your food vids are always my fav. We actually cook a lot of INDIAN FOOD at home as you know 'daniel is from India. We spent a month there in 2016 and it was amazing. 'we are planning to return next year!
The most Indian favorites ones are, Chicken tikka masala 👍, then Rice polau, palak panner, Veggie Korma 👌
Thanks for all the recs!
In Austin, TX you may find delicious Indian food. My favorite dish is Chicken Tikka Masala, but even the basmati rice they prepare is so good
Lol i couldn't stop laughing when you both were like the samosas are spicy 😂😂😂 cause that's literally the blandest possible thing . Sure it's tasty but for Indians that doesn't even register
Hahaha oh my goodness. We have a lot of training to eat actual spicy Indian food! Haha!
That's interesting, because where I'm from samosas, the potato veggie ones, are always at least medium spice hot. I find veggue korma tho a milder spice level. But yeah, potato samosas always hot
I wish we got both your independent reactions on ALL the dishes. Thanks for trying Indian.
I am African, somali but all I know is foods civilization came from the east which is mainly India and china. Also indian have the best foods in the world. All the flavors came from there originally. Remember when the first European country travel to the east which is India. Am talking about the Portuguese.
Love the sense of adventure and the open-mindedness. And the totally honest reactions and thoughts!
You guys are funny for not having tried Indian food before. I'm into any "ethnic" foods I can get, the spicier the better. Of course for vegetarians, Indian food is the best.
Some comments -- there is 100 percent chance they toned down the spices for you guys. That was probably good for you but for people that want to real deal it can be annoying to be racially stereotyped. On the other hand not all Indian dishes are supposed to be super hot and spicy either.
The bread you loved I believe is paratha.
Butter chicken is a great dish and generally a milder dish.
Chili Gobi which you correctly identified as like Chinese is actually an Indian Chinese dish. Just like Americans have American style Chinese, Indians have Indian style Chinese which they just call Chinese and it is very distinctive and very popular in India.
You do want to try some tandoori dishes,veg or not.
Glad you finally tried Indian food, choices are unlimited in India when it comes to food, I put a link for you guys to watch , channel's name is "Follow me, I'm a foodie", they are also Texans and they enjoy Indian food a lot, they also visited India , there are other channels also like Davidbeenhere. Indian restaurants are all over in Dallas and Houston as well. In Mexico there are few Indian restaurants in more touristic places like Tulum, Cabos, Mexico city, Guadalajara, but not in smaller cities. I traveled for 4 months in Mexico and only met one Indian traveler in Mazunte . Have fun guys, cheers 🥂
Who do you say has better food India or Mexico without being bias?
@@caesarroe1283 haha, there is no comparison when it comes to Indian food , except Pakistani food which is very similar since they used to be one country before division, but I like Mexican food as well , but it doesn't has good vegetarian options. India is also much more diversified than Mexico, with so many languages, and even Geography and landscape is so different in every State, not to mention India is much bigger than Mexico in size as well. But when it comes to beautiful beaches only Philippines with their 7000 islands and Maldives can beat Mexico. I wish I could speak some Spanish, chatting with Google translate is not fun 😅
@@caesarroe1283 India and Mexico has trade relations since ancient times, it was mostly spices, chillies , garlic , garments, silk etc . Both countries has good diplomatic relations and respect each other. India still exports 90 % of world's spices , but in the old times India was the sole exporter of spices to the entire world, India taught the world what Spices means , and how to use it. Romans , Greeks and others are buying spices from India for more than 2000 years, that's why Garlic is used in Italian dishes so much. For 1700 years until the British destroyed Indian economy and looted $45 trillion dollars worth of resources from India, it used to be the richest country in the world contributing 35 % of world's GDP. Unfortunately it's a poor country now with corruption and rest of it, thanks to colonization.
@Shailendra Singh Ap ke se ho brother!! I think the knowledge that you have about Mexican cuisine is kinda limited brother Mexican Ranks in the top 5 cuisine in the world 🌎 about what you said about veggie dishes we have a few ,but in the same time Mexico is no Gujarat a place where most people eat veggies dishes but if travel thru India you see people eating meat and poultry and about Mexico being compare to Maldives or Philippines no chance Mexico ranks in 15 place in the most powerful economies in the world, but getting back the the topic which is food Mexico has a dish where 35 to 40 ingredients are needed if you do it from scratch is called Mole and that my friend is a dish that has no equal in the world when it comes to preparation...Chaco Chalo!!! 😂😂
@Shailendra Singh if that's Fun FACT AVOCADO is Native to Mexico not only that is a popular item in many of today's restaurants all around the globe 🌎 but also CACAO(chocolate) is Native to Mexico you can see it and read it for yourself and about loot Mexico geographically speaking was much larger occupying central and part of North America. Mexico has been looted by the Spaniards and French and also Mexico has 9 out 11 ecosystem known to the world making México a fertil an abundant land bingo. Also Mexico has 3 to 4 different kinds of avocado 😉👍
Indian food is so delicious!
You should try Lachchhaa Paratha
with various types of Vindaloo &
Korma, you will enjoy more surely.
😋👌👍
Go back and try their malabar fish and chicken nadan curry. Those parathas are called Malabar paratha.
And the sweets u had is all made from milk even those lil spongy balls called rasgulla.
Try arabic food as you are there ....mandi ...kabsah....falafel ...shawarma.....mahshi ...malfof....dolma....hammam mahshi ...kusharie.....
Wow thanks for all the recommendations!
Rabri is basically condensed slow cooked milk but Rashmalai is rashgula with rabri
lol, I think once you have eaten Chicken lollypop you'll regret not having ordered it. It's called lollypop because of the shape not because of what it tastes like lol... Yes chilli gobi is usually categorized under Indo-chinese category. Lol rasmalai the first sweet you ate is heavily milk based and those nuggets are usually Indian cheese called paneer. And those floating green things are pistachios. And the yellowish color is usually saffron due to the saffron milk they pour into it.
Thank you for all of this!! We have a LOT to learn! Haha!
I just tried honey garlic potatoes finally. It's like honey garlic wings but potatoes.
6:36 this pic makes your mouth watery and you're saying it's not appetizing
Indian food is healthy and always appetizing
It’s chapati bread, try it in any local restaurant with eggs, cheese and Oman chips you’ll love it
Find a fine dining Indian restaurant and make sure they have Tandoori lamb chops , and a mix grill and if they have tandoori lobster make sure to try that for a elevated experience
It would have been easier to choose your meal if there had been descriptions of each dish. I love a few of the Indian dishes at a local restaurant, most of them have paneer, the soft cheese that may have been in your dessert. Also, you should be able to choose your level of heat. FYI, a new Indian restaurant has opened in PV, Living Simply in Mexico tried and liked it. Glad that you liked the food.
Ohhh we will have to try it next time we’re in PV!
@@kinetickennons it’s on the Isla Cuale where Babel Bar used to be
MRA is a south Indian Restaurant. Indian cuisine is so varied that even Indians don't know many dishes from other parts of India. South India is close to the Sea, hence famous for its seafood. You should have tried the Fish Mango Curry from MRA.
That's good to know. I'm finding a lot of Indian places where I am, ecuador, are south Indian. I'm accustomed to North Indian and the difference can be noticeable. Indian food I miss the most, being from Vancouver canada, and I currently travel 2 hrs one way once a month to get the closest. In other towns, there are of course more restaurants, but not in mine
If spice is not your thing, you can always get a Lassi drink(a sweetened yogurt drink that comes in many flavors with mango flavour being the famous one). 95% of Indian restaurants will have it. It will cool down the spice almost immediately.
Since India is pretty diverse , it might help to try out a few restaurants since different chefs have different backgrounds, i think you will find the south indian menus easier & more to your pallets.
Start with idli sambar & chutney & that usually comes with a fresh Vada , then get a masala dosa , then a Malabar Paratha with korma.
Then have south Indian filter coffee.
Alternately one of you could order a "thali" & confuse yourselves.
Usually a "Sarvana Bhavan" outlet/restaurant should be somewhere u can travel to.
For North Indian , try tadka dal , navrattan korma , malai kofta , paneer Paratha .
Sweet : reheated gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream or u should ask an Indian store for an authentic Indian Sweet Shop & ask them to give u a mix of sweets of two pieces each. Tell them to pack whatever is fresh.
Paneer butter masala should be enjoyed alone with hot butter naan or garlic naan with pickled onions & chutney salad .
I hope the menu won't overwhelm you for about 3 vlogs atleast. I have recommended a few things not usually found in vlogs & everything is veg .
Indian food does look apetizing but it depends on "plating" how they "garnish" and all! And ofc the spice level depends upon restaurant to restaurant how they make! Indian food is about spices, the flavours and not everything is spicy! And also Indian food is not only about curries and gravies, it's more than that! We have lots and lots of dishes,the list is endless>>>
.
P.S- next time try from authentic Indian restaurant cuz when you tried samosa they didn't serve you the chutney i.e mint chutney , tamarind chutney! And the food wasn't garnished well, and you also missed the rice( basmati rice) which is very popular in India!
They didn't even scratch the giant menu of indian cuisine 😪... and indian main course meal dont look appetizing but indian appetizer looks appetizing 😂😂😂😂
@@Spittingfact481 yea that's true, the one they tried it's just like "'a peak of an iceberg" and i don't agree with you, both Indian apetizer and Indian meals look apetizing! Check @davidsbeenhere trying Indian dishes! He has tried a lot of Indian dishes and they look so delish and apetizing ✨
@@farhinhussain_ yes it depends upon which restaurant you have been... i think that restaurant's serving standard is not that much good, otherwise every single dish look delicious and appetizing.....that restaurant meal was not look good though specially parotta bread and samosa, i have never seen that ugly samosa in my entire experience 😂
@@Spittingfact481 exactly 💯 it depends upon restaurant to restaurant how they make and how they serve to the customers! The presentation, the taste everything depends upon the restaurant! And yea the food they tried doesn't look apetizing at all😅
There didn't seem to be any rice either. I thought that was very odd
Indian food has been my favourite for many years.
So many delicious vegetarian dishes.
Houston has the best Pakistani and Indian food. Agas restaurant is the highest rated one and right here in Sugarland.
Indian food is soooooo good. I imagine nothing will compare to this. Soooo good.
Tika masala.
Goat curry ( low spicy)
Tandoori chicken
All of it with biryani rice and naan bread.
Madam, as you are of European origin, these tastes and flavours will be absolutely foreign to you, kudos for stepping out of the box….it’s always a good idea to stick to what you grew up eating , as your gut is familiar to that type of food, steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet peas , milk, cream etc….this is also what you ancestors in Europe ate over millennia …hence your gut is adapted to that 👍
Chicken tikka masala is the way to go! It is delicious! 🙂 And if Greg wants to weep after dinner he should try the meat dishes called Vindaloo 🙂
yes always tell the restaurant to make your food mild and you will be ok and maybe gradually lvl up to medium spicy lol
Careful Greg careful my flour tortillas are the best 😭 lol ... but now you made me hungry and wanna try those Paratha bread 🤔
I luv Indian food, Indian peoples, Indian country and every things Indian
I LUV INDIA
Hello I am from India and we have different kinds of food varieties Every state has its own food and its own culture in India 40% of vegetarian Indians, mostly of non vegetarian dishes nowadays famous all around world not original in India, historycal india have totally vegetarian country but after 14 century outside Mughals ( muslim) invasion our country and slowly slowly the introduce their food and various of non vegetarian .
Amor de la India ❤️...por favor ven al noreste de la India...
I love ❤️ gueritos hermosos happy day and stay safe please 😘😘😇🥰
Do you two still live in Mexico?
Can't wait for you trying syrian food and especially syrian sweets
Love your vids keep it up guys
We call loving food being a good bait hand… lol 😊Indians is a national food in the UK 🙂
Indian food is a must atleast once a week ❤️
You need to try Pakistani food too :) try spice and sizzle or Zaoq and ziafat.
good chicken tikka masala will change your life. spinach stuff is usually very good.
It's fact that you can't taste Indian food out of india
Cause it is made with some complicated regional spices
And outer Indian restaurants just use synthetic spice powder to get that taste 🤷
And that's why that food have nothing like indian 🙅
Will you be trying street food?
Pam Garza ….. we have finally made it to Puerto Vallarta 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 … saw your popular vegetable market … breakfast at the pancake house yummy eggs Benedict
Had fish tacos at Marisam so yummy 😋😋 we mentioned the two of you they said yes we know them … a tall guy and a short girl =) …
They were surprised to hear you had left Puerto Vallarta … my husband l enjoyed our time here… but it is pretty warm here !! Don’t think it will be our home base … being a Canadian l need cooler temperatures we have found Tehucan Puebla is the perfect weather for us to live comfortably !
i love butter chicken
Try pav bhaji and dosa once
I hail from India. Would you like to come india . When ever you get a chance
You should check the ingredient list of the dish you're eating.. and sniffing food is a no no in Indian culture.
Good Indian food will change your life
Love Indian food. The desserts? Not so much.
One was rice pudding and the other one was Rabri
Indian food is like to be in Mexico
Try the Yemen 🇾🇪 food
7:40 Yep! Everything else feels bland once you try Indian food.
That is a super strange Indian restaurant hahahahaaaa...if you could check what exact cuisine it serves would be great! The paratha you had is actually a Kerala Parota (so that makes me think it is a South Indian cuisine based restaurant) as such...I would say you got the wrong dishes at this place!
Samosas are traditionally north Indian and would be served hot with a crisp pastry! The cauliflower dish you were served is an Indian Chinese dish whereas the dessert you got would have also been a bit alien to a south Indian restaurant! Rabdi is again north Indian and it is a dish made from condensed milk...the colour suggested too much saffron in it! Whereas the other one - Ras malai is an Eastern (mainly from West Bengal) dish and the base is also from condensed milk and served with balls made from Indian hand-made cheese!
It was too yellow, for sure. Where I'm from ras Mali is available in the frozen food section as well as restaurants, it's always been white. It seems more like the yellow custard? I usually get that and kheer, my friend loves gulab
you should try thay POROTTA with BEEF fry 😁😁😁
As an Indian I can confirm that Indian food doesn't look that good 😅, no kidding.😂
But it tastes damn good
You tried only indian main course meal which kind of doesn't look appetizing but... when you didn't order any appetizer how its look like appetizing lol 😂
You eat the paratha with gravy
Asian food is the best!
Butter chicken delicious !!!
i didnt know there were 40 yr old americans who have never eaten indian food.
40?! Dang I know we’re getting older but we’re only 33 and 31. So still closer to 30 😜
Eat Hyderabadi dum biryani world famous
I enjoyed your expression 😊 spicy spicy 😃
Always eat the curry with bread or rice.... Never on it's own
you haven't lived until you've eaten Indian food
After trying it for the first time, we totally agree!!! Perfectly said!
Keep in mind Indians are 18 percent and Americans are 4.5 %
That thumbnail is bizarre
Today I wach your videos 13 videos 13 like 👍for you ❤
Those sweets are fake rabdi shouldn't be so wattery and here should be saffron in it
👀☕🪑
"Mutilated cookies"?! There are no cookies for God's sake!!!
I can’t even watch this.
Sala gobhi khila diya re inko 😆😆🤣. Paneer nai tha kya hotel mai? 😅
Did food had blood of Indians? Gov says 3 slaves died in construction, some report says over 6000 died, so real figures must 2x of the reported 6000. Most slaves were Indians. How are you supporting Qatar?
6500 Labourers from Indian subcontinent died in qatar
India Pakistan Bangladesh Nepal Sri Lanka
Including Philippines Kenya
@@shirokun4742 6500 according to NGO. Qatar reported only 3. So the actual number could way more than estimated.
@dhe'Dude I get it what you think about India and Hindus. Unless you live in India, I can't change your mind with my words or even facts available in internet. So I won't waste my time.
Actually USA food doesn't look that appetizing or delicious or healthy
Looks like a crappy restaurant i have never seen a yellow rabri in my life and like who serves dessert in a plastic bowls. Next time if u try Indian food look for a restaurant with a great review.
You’re tastebuds are dead😔
You went to a bad restaurant..... You don't know how gooooood Indian food is!
I tried Indian food once and it gave me Asco.
Asco?
Ascomycete fungal infection?
